About Paul
Biography
I am now retired. While I was actively practicing law, I enjoyed helping my clients navigate all aspects of planning their estates and helping them administer the estates of their loved ones. My clients typically began as "clients" and ended up as "friends." I cannot envision a more satisfying area of the law in which to practice. However, after 60 years of practicing law, I decided to retire and pass the torch. I will always appreciate those 60 years.
