Kate Warner

Real estate lawyer | Oct 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've worked with Paul in cases both on the same side and as an opponent going on to 15 years now, and I've referred out clients to him when there was a conflict. He's smart, fair, efficient, and honest. I have found him to cut to the chase, and work towards the right/best/ most workable outcome that can be crafted with the elements a case presents."

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.
