Terrible people. Rude. Aggressive. Will talk down to you.
Completely impressed with this firm. I was blind sided with a lawsuit and their knowledge and expertise was exactly what was needed. Quickly responding, and they were very encouraging. Worth every penny to have them in your corner. Melissa Paul is extremely good at her job, goes above and beyond, is honest, and hardworking. ( she even reached out on a weekend ) I’m thankful I chose them to represent my case.
Meanest bunch of shysters you'll ever meet.

From the first meeting on a small real estate deal , to business law advice to personal planning, Mr Paul and his professional family have always given me honest guidance. I always felt welcome and not hurried. When I sat down for my first visit ever, Mr Paul had already reviewed and was very knowledgeable about the project we were looking at. No repeat visit needed. The front office receptionist answers the phone and is very good at directing calls and getting answers. There is no voice mail run arounds or dropped calls. This group knows what they are doing Efficient, Friendly, Knowledgeable

Excellent staff, attention to detail, extremely thorough. Mr. Matthew Branz and Mrs. Tammy Cassese are both wonderful people to do business with. The professionalism, education, and experience are matched by none.

We have known the Paul family for over 30 years and are thrilled “Butch” Harlan Paul’s son Harlan has joined the firm. Harlan knows our daughter his classmate and was exceptional at giving us advice when planning our Will and Trust. Everyone has to start be a newbie but Harlan Paul maybe the son of Butch Paul but he has the family experience and listens to your concerns. Excellent firm. We will recommend Harlan to friends and family. Thank you.
