Amazing.

I am amazed on his professionalism an dedication to go the extra mile . My specific case had a lot of hurdles to leap over and I am embarrassed for my commit above . However Paul Banken and I fought a very hard battle and we didn't always see eye to eye but even when I was my own worst enemy he stood... by me an never backed down. I am extremely happy to say this . Paul is a wonderful lawyer and is great at what he does . He treated me not as a number but as a client an I believe not a lot of people always listen in situations like this but he listened an was truthful even when it wasn't always what I wanted to hear. Paul Banken is in my thoughts every time I hug my children . Without his dedication I know it wouldn't have been the same outcome regardless of the situation . That being said Paul thank you for your hard work an I appreciate it everyday . I know I wasn't the easiest person to work with but you helped me more than I can ever say thanks again for everything

No good.

Mr. Paul Banken did not help me in my case. He was quick to comply with any an all services that C.P.S. had asked with an when asked to stand up on court an ask the judge to the right thing. He will Decline an not do as you are asking. I would not hire this attorney. at all. However he is a nice b...ut watch out for the hidden factors. Now I am not saying he is all bad but I am saying he didn't work for me. Maybe he was over worked over booked? Who knows. But no he is not good be careful is all I am saying here
