Criminal Defense

Paul stayed in steady communication with us throughout the process. If not himself, then one of his staff, even with their very busy schedule. Knowing little about the judicial system’s process and requirements as many of us do, they helped us to understand the criminal consequences good and bad. We ...appreciated the honesty and we never felt misled. Throughout this ordeal we gained complete confidence in Paul. He is a very intelligent lawyer and compassionate person. Office staff was very polite and helpful as well as patient with our questions. We were promptly notified of all court dates and changes. Although I’m not pleased to say that we have had to hire this firm on more than one occasion, I think this says something about this firms’ ability to get the job done! We have already recommended them to several other clients and will continue to do so.

"In my opinion, Paul is the most professional and accomplished criminal defense attorney in Oregon besides being personable and empathetic to his clients' needs. I recommend my friends who require defense services to him, and he would be my first call if I were in need as well."

  • 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.
