Jonathan Paul's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Paul is extremely bright, hard working, and has outstanding ethics."
"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."
"Only a few postings are necessary to recognize that the answers of Mr. Paul are accurate, full of analysis, and customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney."
