Gets It Done
Paul handled a case for me recently and nailed it. It was a case that took some turns and required Paul to rethink both strategy and approach more than once. We won a settlement 3 times the size of our original expectation. I highly recommend Paul and the firm Fransen and Molinaro.

Glad to Have Paul on my Side
I experienced a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer that I am glad he was on my side. Paul was a go getter and very aggressive in obtaining the best scenario for me. I would not like to against him. He will consult you before he makes any decisions. If I need a lawyer to fight my case in the future, Mr. Molinaro I will make sure he is on my case.

Excellent Advice and was Entertaining Too
Atty. Molinaro assessed the issues accurately and provided sound advice in a succinct format. While it was the legal perspective that I most appreciated, the fact that he cracked me up in the process was an added joy. The laughter sure takes the tension out of legal garbage. He knows what he's talking about.

Doctor and an Attorney, hire this guy now
Responsive and knowledgeable in medicine and Law. I have a medical misdiagnosis case and like his dual licensing. I am in San Francisco and their firm is in Southern California but I feel that it's still worth it.

A++++++
Having Paul Molinaro & John Tiedt as my lawyers was a very positive experience due to the fact I did not have to worry about anything in the past 2 years. Paul and John are extremely knowledgeable (Paul being a past doctor helped immensely with my case). Their timely and empathetic communication skills were thorough and reliable. I had total confidence in their abilities and can't recommend them enough.

Medical Malpractice
Paul represented me in a medical malpractice case. His background as an MD was especially useful. From day one, he was very clear about how the process would work and surprisingly accurate about timelines and other estimates. We eventually reached a fair settlement that I was pleased with. Paul kept in constant contact and always made clear what was needed and when it was needed. The process is never fast and easy, but Paul made it as painless as possible.
