Auto Accident

Paul did an amazing job with my case. He was able to get me a very reasonable settlement on my auto injury and even helped me on the collision side dealing with the adjusters! His response were always very prompt even on the weekends! I keep his card on my fridge in case my friends or family need an...y help.

Paul Veillon Rises Above The Rest

My case was difficult to say the least. After having been in two serious automobile accidents that were three months apart, and two vehicles at a total loss, I needed an attorney that could provide me the help I needed to get through a difficult time in my life. I hired two attorneys for my accident ...cases and didn't like how they were handling my cases. Paul was the third attorney I hired and it didn't take long for me to figure out that he was by far the best attorney to handle my two automobile accident cases. I couldn't say enough good things about Paul. Let me just say, I am not the easiest person to deal with, and I don't have a lot of patience. I needed an attorney that would not only work for me, but one that would work with me as well. Paul was by far the best person for the job. He always took the time to fully explain to me what was going on. In fact, he went above and beyond what any other attorney would have done. Most attorneys don't find the time to sit on the phone for more then a couple minutes with the client at any given time. You will be lucky to even get to speak with the actual attorney, most the time it's the legal help your dealing with directly. Not Paul, there was a few times that Paul sat on the phone with me for an hour or more, never giving me any kind of attitude, never showing signs of frustration, always making sure I fully understood everything that was going on with my case. I feel very lucky to have met Paul, had I not found Paul, I am almost certain I wold have somehow screwed up any chances of getting fair compensation for my injuries. Also, there was a very critical medical provider involved in both my cases that had double charged the insurance companies, making my already difficult case even that much more difficult. Paul approached the situation with the utmost professionalism and in the end got the final bill owed to said medical provider cut by more then 75%. Another reason why I say that Paul is above the rest and is simply the best. If you are looking for attorney that is going to get you the compensation you deserve in your personal injury case, look no further then Paul Veillon. He is a great guy that cares about his clients, and he will do everything in his power to make sure you get what you deserve. Seriously, there is nobody out there like Paul when it comes to a quality, caring and knowledgeable attorney. I promise you won't regret choosing Paul to represent you.

Diminshed Value

I had the unfortunate luck of getting into an accident due to the negligence of the other driver. From the initial contact to the final conclusion of my diminished value claim, Mr. Veillon and his team did a fantastic job with my case. Hopefully, I wont be in another predicament like this again b...ut if I do Paul from Wattel & York will be the first person I call. I would highly recommended this lawyer to anyone!

Worth the Effort

Mr. Paul Veillon came highly recommended to me from the chiropractor I was treating with after my car accident in 2011. I had no previous experience dealing with attorneys in such circumstances. The insurance company offered to settle my claim after my treatment ended and I felt that my pain and suff...ering was highly understated. I met with Paul to consult about the process and possibilities. Paul was very honest and straight forward from the get-go. He explained how the process works, what my obligations would be and what the possible outcomes could be. I felt I was in good hands all along. Paul was very easy to work with. Each time he put extra effort to prepare me for the next necessary step and to help me reflect on the circumstances surrounding my accident. The most significant aspect of this experience was to tell my story, how the accident impacted my life, above and beyond the documented injuries. It took some time to settle the whole case, but at the end, I was very happy with the outcome. It was definitely worth the time, effort and the wait. I had full trust in Paul’s capabilities, guidance and wholehearted interest in representing my case. I would highly recommend Paul’s services to anyone facing such a situation. No claim may be too small, take the 30 minutes out of your life and consult with an attorney. They will tell you if it’s worth pursuing or not. I am sure glad I did. Thank you Paul for your kindness, effort and persistence!

"Paul Veillon and I have worked together on two major personal injury cases. His knowledge of the law and ability to analyze complex issues are second to none. I watched him argue one case in the Court of Appeals and his presentation was absolutely brilliant. I have rarely seen a lawyer as organized, articulate and compelling as Mr. Veillon. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients and I would not hesitate to refer people to him for representation in complex or grievous personal injury cases."

"Paul is a excellent attorney in every respect. Like most lawyers, he understands the legal system and the relevant law in the areas that he specializes in. Unlike most attorneys, Paul will focus on what your case means to you rather than what it means to him or his firm. This means that he'll provide 100% honest and straightforward information and advice to you. It also means he will fight for you just as aggressively as you would fight for yourself."

"I tried a worksite injury case against Paul several years ago. At every phase of discovery and throughout trial, Paul was professional, courteous and a very skilled advocate for his client. I remember his closing argument to the jury was especially powerful and I have no doubt it played a large role in getting the jury to award as much as they did. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who has been injured."
