GDS

William Barry Paul recently defended me in my 2nd DUI case where I could have faced jail time if convicted. Mr. Paul not only reversed the case against me, but he reduced the amount of restitution demanded from a claimant. I am convinced that, were it not for Mr. Paul, I could have been facing bankru...ptcy. Mr. Paul was very knowledgeable about my case, which showed that he did his homework. He never failed to quickly respond to my calls. One time, he called me back in less than 15 minutes. Best of all, he explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. Mr. Paul was thoroughly professional, but I must say that he came across as a friend. I have always been tempted to think of lawyers as cold, but Mr. Paul is the rare exception. He treated me like a human being, and not just “a case.” How many lawyers can you say that about? I would recommend his services to anyone.

Best DUI attorney, hands down!

I was facing my 2nd DUI charge. Mr. Paul not only got my DUI dismissed, but he appealed the DMV suspension ruling on my drivers license & he won that too!! Simply amazing work & strategy!! He is one of the brightest & educated attorneys that I've ever met. He was responsive, professional & helpful th...rough my whole case. I'm not the easiest client to work with and Mr. Paul always knew how to deal with me & answered my questions truthfully and thoroughly. I'm so appreciative of his work on my case and my results. I hope I never need to hire an attorney again, but if I do Mr. Paul is the man!! I highly recommend him for your DUI case and\or any criminal matter you may be facing! A+++++

He prides himself on being more prepared than his counterpart and shows a commitment to strongly advocate for his client. Mr. Paul is also very well respected by his peers in the legal community for his ethics and knowledge of the law. He excels in defending people charged with DUI and is very knowledgeable in that aspect of criminal defense. I strongly endorse this lawyer."

"Barry Paul is one of the eminent DUI lawyers in Palm Beach County. As a fellow lawyer handling DUI matters, I routinely find myself seeking his input when dealing with the sometimes complex and scientific nature of alcohol breath readings. Any client who hires Barry Paul has made a very wise choice."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
