Posted by Mary Ellen | January 19, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knowledgeable and Helpful

I contacted Mr. Ralph to consult about a possible medical malpractice claim. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about both the subject and realities of what's involved in such a claim. He spent a good deal of time with me on the phone discussing nuances and other details.

Mr. Ralph was referred to me by a co-worker. I called him and spoke to him right away, had an appointment within a week. Gave him the facts and he took over from there. Always kept me in the loop on everything. Never had to call him for an update. He is AWESOME !!

great attorney

I would definitely recommend Paul to my friends and family. He really knows what he is doing. Paul always kept me up to date and explained every step of the process to me. He educated me constantly and I am confident I received the highest settlement possible, all thanks to him! Definitely the best p...ersonal injury attorney around. Thanks Paul!

This is a 5-star attorney who is extremely knowledgeable and caring.

Mr. RaIph handled a major slip and fall case for me last year with professionalism, knowledge and concern. He is top notch and a class act. I would use his services again if needed and would send any family member to him. Mr. Ralph truly cares about you and your best interest!

Bicycle vs Subaru Impreza

Mr. Ralph represented me (a bicycle rider) when I was struck by a driver that turned left against a red light. I suffered 2 broken bones, as well as a number of sprains and contusions. He provided me with guidance, was professional at all times, and obtained what I felt to be a more than fair settl...ement based on what injuries I suffered. He has excellent people skills, will give you a fair assessment as to whether you should work toward a settlement or pursue litigation. Mr. Ralph was an athlete and understood what is lost when an injury occurs during rigorous training. He was recommended to me, and I was extremely happy with the eventual outcome. The case was settled quickly, and with almost no hassle. He is a true professional in his field.

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.
