Review

I had been working with an attorney concerning a trademark dispute. The service and actions by this individaul were awful and I was about to loose the entire case due to ignored deadlines. Mr Reidl quickly researched the case and accomplished more in 2 days than the other lawyer had done in 2 years. ...I highly recommend him.He has a vast knowledge of trademarks and impressed me with quick actions that probably have saved the day for me.

Simply the Best

I worked with Paul extensively while he was at Gallo and I can say without reservation that he was the elite lawyer in the department. He understands business, he has gobs of common sense, he has a great sense of humor, and there is no one else I would ever want in my corner when I had a problem. I... hated to see him set off on his own, but I know he will do well because he so fantastic!

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.
