Patricia Paul's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked with Attorney Paul in organizing programs for the Washington State Bar Association's Sections. She has been reliable, on time, organized, prepared, pleasant and effective. Under her effective leadership we had developed several effective mini-CLEs. I plan to continue working with her, and based on this experience would endorse her for any position of responsibility!"
