Outstanding Trust and Estate Attorney

Paul recently assisted my mother-in-law with drafting a complex trust. Because she is elderly, and I work in the legal field, I helped her navigate the process and brought her to the appointments at Paul's office. We both were incredibly impressed by Paul's skills, knowledge and guidance. He is a ver...y sharp, solution-oriented attorney, and he handled this matter very efficiently while still paying attention to important details and wording. He was patient in fielding her questions, and in explaining the pros and cons of various scenarios. In short, he helped my mother-in-law develop a clear and intelligent will package that she feels conveys all of her wishes, and prevents complications or conflicts in the future. We both give him the absolute highest recommendation!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
