“As an individual litigant, with a high profile case taking on powerful interests, I needed top flight legal work at a more affordable price than some of the top firms charge. Paul was the perfect solution. He took the time to understand the numerous complicated legal issues in play and then managed to distill them into a clear direct argument for the court.”
“Not only that, he was able to explain the legalities to me and was pleasant to work with. His writing and oral advocacy were outstanding, and I would hire him again for sure.”
