These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“Paul has been a legal guide and mentor to me for over a decade. He's one of the most thoughtful attorneys I know, with a deep understanding of his client's needs and an equally insightful comprehension of the court system. He's guided his clients through the legal system's callousness with kindness, levity, optimism, and a steady hand.”
“Because of his years of experience and analytical mind, Paul sees a case laid out before him, as if from an aerial view. He anticipates and resolves potential problems before they become real detriments. He has the fortitude and resources to bring a case to trial, and he uses these skills to help his client, about whom he cares deeply.”
“Paul is a fantastic lawyer, who also is dedicated to improving the profession. He teaches CLEs and mentors younger lawyers, readily sharing his expertise and knowledge with any who ask. He obtains great results for his clients in some very technical areas of the law, and does so with compassion and grace. ”
