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.
