Paul did not fulfill his contract and wont reply to calls or emails.

Paul is a competent lawyer, but gave up on my case. The judge gave us 30 days to be creative on a plan to get my Pistol permit back. Paul did not contact me for 6 months and then finally replied to my emails. I have all the emails saved, including the unanswered ones. Paul wanted me to go out and per...form tasks that were against the judges orders. The judge wanted a potential plan and the judge wanted to review and sign off on. Paul refused to work with me on a plan. It has now been 14 months after my hearing and Paul hasn't done anything for me. Not even writing the judge to explain any delay or explanation of where the case stands on our end. I wouldn't recommend him.

Replied last May 25, 2025

On August 25th 2016, this individuals permit was reinstated. These case often are very complicated with a requirement to go well beyond issues of het permit alone, such as an individuals underlying conduct and credibility, relationship to the Court and community, profile of the incident leading to the suspension, etc. This case had all of those issues and each one needed to be dealt with.

Thanks Ciminelli & Ciminelli

Working work Paul and his associates was hassle free. They made arrangements to work with the state of Illinois to resolve an issue that would have required my traveling to Chicago. The issue was resolved quickly and did not require my appearing in court.

He expertly handled our parents' estate, keeping u...s all informed at every step of the way. He responds quickly and thoroughly, and he always has time for us. Paul's character and integrity are the foundation for his work.

Sound advice

Unlike most attorneys, Paul Ciminelli took my cold call about a possible fraud case-- completely out of his area of expertise-- and listened and gave great advice. I can only imagine how responsive he would be in a case in an area that he is knowledgeable about.
