Who We Are

About Us

Reputation for Excellence
Our well-deserved reputation is for excellence in providing smart, sensible, and cost-effective solutions for our clients.

Committment to Integrity
Our clients are our most precious assets, and you will always be given the utmost respect.

Solutions Overview

Comprehensive Legal Support
Often, more than one area of expertise is required. With us, there’s no need to hire a multitude of attorneys or consultants. We can advocate or advise in many areas of law, and can bring unique and interesting perspectives to the courts in order to surprise and succeed.

Diverse Experience
We serve a wide range of clientele, and every client relationship is valued greatly. Each engagement benefits from the depth and breadth of our expertise, and you are part of our family whether your case is big or small.

Knowledge of Current Law
We are at the forefront of ever-changing laws and work closely with our clients to exceed expectations. While it is apparent that many attorneys simply plead with the Court to do as they request, we believe that the combination of law, facts and passionate recitation of the reasons for our clients’ requests provide a much better chance of victory

Advantage of Repeat Clients
We are proud that so many of our clients have repeatedly turned to us for counsel and representation, and have invited their friends, family, and colleagues to do the same, and we work hard to earn the loyalty of each of our clients each and every day.

Trustworthy, Responsive, Customer-Oriented, and Good Written Work! Paul was very attentive, understanding and sympathetic. Unlike other lawyers, he was not aggressive, not pushing me to hire him. Instead he provided me an honest overview. With his help, I was able to fully accomplish my goals.

You were OUTSTANDING in all respects in representing me. You were stellar. Thanks so much for all you did for me. I hope you have a great holiday season with your little ones - I know I certainly will - and will remember that YOU helped make it possible.
