Highly recommended

Paulo was an awesome lawyer! There are a lot of shady characters in the personal injury business, and Paulo is definitely not one of them. He was super professional and easy to communicate with. He always took the time to explain things to me, walk me through the process, and answer any questions I h...ad. Most importantly, we got to a settlement that I was happy with. Could not recommend him more!

Great attorney!

When I was hit by an ambulance that ran a red light with no sirens or light, I was lost and didn’t know what to do after that. A friend highly recommended Paulo Kline to me. He took my case and took care of everything. He was excellent at communicating to me every step of the way! I always felt I ...was in great hands. He fought for me and I received a way better settlement than I would have received on my own. He’s extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend him to anybody in need of an attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

I highly recommend Paulo S Kline Simon. I had a complicated injury case in CA. Paulo s Kline Simon handled my case as if I were his only client. He was always there for me and available if I had any questions. He was with me every step of the way. During my recovery I needed to move out of state. Pau...lo had a court appointed nurse assigned to me to navigate and get the care I needed in GA. Because of the Covid restrictions our case was settled on video conferencing. I felt he was in the same room with me. Paulo S Kline Simon settled the case for me with a solid outcome. He navigated me through some very difficult times and I highly recommend his services.

Highly recommend

I had a complicated case and was on the fence about what the outcome would be. I spoke with Paulo and his communication and expertise put me at ease immediately. The Kline Simon Law Firm ended up getting me a settlement that was well beyond my expectations. Do not hesitate to contact this law firm I ...highly recommend them

Stress Free Process

When one is recovering from an injury the last thing that you want to worry about is your finances. Attorney Simon made my claim a very smooth and easy process. I was not worried at all as to my claim being denied or that my funds would be short changed in any way. He made me feel confident that I... would receive every penny that was available to my claim. He did all the heavy lifting and my job was just to recover! I have no hesitation in recommending Attorney Simon in his field of expertise.

Relationship: Friend

"When finding a good lawyer, you not only want one who is knowledgeable of the legal aspects of your case, but one who is also well versed in the nuances of the process. This alone can tip the scales in your favor. With his years of courtroom and general litigation experience, Paulo is all of the above. I contacted him regarding a personal injury case and he was able to walk me through the convoluted process in layman's terms. I knew exactly what information to get, what questions to ask, and more importantly, what to do next. He calmly guided me through a very anxious time and made sure I was sufficiently equipped for what lied ahead. I highly recommend Paulo's advocacy and trust him completely."

"Paulo is an excellent attorney who has earned the respect and admiration of all those who work with him. He knows the law and advocates strongly for his clients. I know he takes a personal and thoughtful approach with his clients--something that is often lost in a large firm setting. I highly recommend him for Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury matters."

"I've known Paulo since our first day of law school. In the years since, I have had many opportunities to observe his work in academic, social and professional realms. Paulo is one of the most intelligent, capable and hardworking individuals that I have ever met. He can be trusted to get a job done quickly without mistakes or complaints. My confidence in his abilities as an attorney has allowed me to refer numerous complicated cases to him without hesitation. Some of these referrals have been personal acquaintances of mine who later tell me how greatly satisfied they were with Paulo's representation of their interests. Additionally, Paulo is a very likable person who is fun to work with and be around. I would very highly recommend him to anyone."
