Contract dispute
In a world that seemingly is becoming less empathetic, it is people like Mr. Jonathan Paul that help maintain my faith and hope in society. My wife and I recently found ourselves in a contractual dispute with a local company in California, and with time running out, we were desperate to find good legal help or at least someone who could explain to us if our gut sense of feeling taken advantage of was justified. Fortunately, we came across Mr. Paul who truly exceeded our expectations beyond measure. Not only was he always very responsive and prompt in his communication with us throughout the entire process, but his ability to be articulate and thorough and yet also direct and tactful, especially in his legal writing on our behalf, showed a tremendous level of expertise and professionalism. We ultimately received a settlement in our favor, and we honestly could not have done it without Mr. Paul's representation. Military friendly and a true professional in his trade, Mr. Jonathan Paul comes with our greatest endorsement and highest recommendations to all seeking legal insights and support. If you have the opportunity to have Mr. Jonathan Paul represent you, I have complete confidence that he can deliver the highest quality of legal service and prove to be an invaluable resource for you. Regardless, best wishes to your current situation, and to Mr. Paul, thank you again for everything.

Jonathan Paul has been a true asset to our company.
I came to Jonathan during the beginning stages of starting my e-commerce company. He was able to meet all of my needs and helped educate me along the way. Jonathan has done our incorporation, trademark, terms of use and multiple contracts. Starting a company can be a difficult task at times and it's a great help to have someone knowledgeable on your side. Finding the right lawyer is always important and I am very grateful that I chose Jonathan to assist me in starting my company.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Paul is extremely bright, hard working, and has outstanding ethics."
Contracts and agreements Attorney | Feb 28
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I worked with Mr. Paul; we represented the same client in different cases arising from the same overzealous jerk on the other side. Mr. Paul demonstrated impressive organization and computer-based litigation skills. Using evidence and timelines Mr. Paul had organized and prepared in his case, I was able to immediately step in on the related matter and be up to speed. Due in large part to Mr. Paul's work, I was able to swiftly defeat the claims against our client, gaining him complete relief. Similarly, Mr. Paul was able to achieve a favorable outcome for our client in his litigation. In working closely with Mr. Paul, I noted he balances extraordinary intellect and intuition with a calm and somewhat careful thoughtfulness. He spots issues quickly, tells it like it is, yet will not lead you astray on a hunch or a guess.He's not a reckless "shoot from the hip" type of attorney. These are ideal characteristics for a litigating attorney and negotiator."
