Paul has practiced law in Northern California for 35 plus years. I have tried many cases against him. He is also my personal attorney. He is one of the most skillful and ethical trial lawyers I know. His induction into the American College of Trial Lawyers (top 1% of nation's trial lawyers) proves my case.
Chief Executive Officer, Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District
Paul Brisso has been Council for the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation Distict (District) for over six years. Over that time, I have interacted with Paul 2-3 times per week on all facets of local government law covering personnel, property, liens, leases, agreements, contracts and insurance issues. In all of these interactions, I have found Paul to be very professional, knowledgable, and go the extra mile to help solve the sometimes complex legal issues that face a special district. Paul also teaches local government compliance classes. I have taken his class on California's Brown Act open meeting law and found Paul to be very good at presenting complex legal information in a very understandable and useful way to a non-legal audience. In my opinion, Paul has done an outstatanding job of representing the District and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any legal activity for which he feels qualified.
Serve as District Counsel for the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation Dist., Humboldt Community Services Dist., McKinleyville Community Service Dist., Loleta Community Services Dist., Manila Community Community Services Dist., and the Hearing Board of the North Coast Unified Air Quality Dist.
