I endorse this lawyer. I first met Paul at the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. A small group of us spent nearly a month together at Gerry Spence's Thunderhead ranch, isolated from the outside world, undergoing some of the most intense trial lawyer training one could imagine. Paul was a Rock Star. Definitely a larger than life persona we were all attracted to. People speak of someone having an "it factor". Paul has "it". He has a warrior heart, and he truly cares about the people he represents.
