Before meeting with Micheal Paul I felt nervous and anxious about the future of my case. Mr. Paul made me feel at ease and told me exactly how he would address the situation. I can tell Mr Paul has a lot of experience dealing with all types of cases. He was able to get me first in line at the court hearing and negotiated 3 days of community service instead of 5. I highly recommend visiting mr paul if you run into legal trouble.

Mr. Paul was a great relief and very helpful throughout my time with him. I had got into a scuffle with another guy who told the police he wanted to press charges (even though he started it). This happened on a subway platform as we were both heading to work. I told the police I did not want to press charges because neither of us got significant damage and figured the other guy might think the same.
Well, the other guy decided to press charges so I had to go to jail that day.
Long story short, after this I was very worried that video evidence would not be found or proof of my innocence was there. My wife was worried, I was worried. Looking at a max sentence of 1 year in prison I called Michael Paul and told him my story.
He was very assuring and got straight to the point. He explained the likely outcome and how I should relax. Tell my wife to relax, etc etc.
So, we did. The other gentleman who I got into a scuffle with never pressed charges (he knew he was guilty) and the case was dismissed 3 months later.
Throughout the entire time Michael was available through text to calm my concerns and verify/answer questions of mine. It was a very pleasant experience overall.
Michael is clearly an experienced Lawyer and I don't regret a single penny I had to pay. I do recommend him.read more

I used Michael services recently for a situation I had. He was such a calming influence throughout the process. He is genuinely interested in taking care of the client above anything else. His experience as a former ADA is invaluable. I highly recommend him and would use him again. I actually keep his card in my wallet now.

Michael Paul's expertise with criminal law is perfectly complemented by his warmth and compassion. Additionally, Mr. Paul was always accessible whether I had a quick question or a need for a lengthy discussion. I always had the confidence that I had the best possible legal representation each time that Mr. Paul and I were in court. I could not have asked for a better outcome for my case as Michael Paul successfully negotiated and received an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD).
If you are in trouble with the law and require knowledgeable and compassionate legal representation, I highly recommend Michael Paul.read more

In 2016 I got into an issues and ended up getting arrested and facing a felony charge. I knew that if I would of Pleaded guilty to this charge it would put a barrier in my life. I went back and forth for about year with a public defender. I was getting any where and the DA wanted me plea to the felony or go to trial. I was look for a lawyer to assist and I found Michael Paul online. I call Michael at like 9:30pm at night. He took my call and asked me about my case and knew he was able to assist me. I will have to say I was so worried about my future and Michael took those worries away by telling me that he can help me get out of this felony and jail time. Michael was a blessing to my life he not only helped
me but my mother stress about my case and life also want down. Once Michael took over my case by the Second appearance at court he was able to get me a very good plea. I was able to get a repleaer which means a misdemeanor and no felony as well as no jail or probation. He is also assisting me with a certificate of relief, so that I don’t have any barriers to employment. I’m very bless to have found Michael he like no other lawyer in this world. He cares about you and your well-being and what’s best for you. Furthermore, he knows his law and he makes sure your rights are not being violated. I thank god that I found Michael and I will always be grateful for what he done for me. If your looking for a good legal representation this is your person I live in Rochester, NY and he still took my case he is the lawyer you want on your side and I’m not just saying that I will keep his number with me forever if I’m, a friend , family member ever need a lawyer I will have them call Michael .... thank so much Michael for all of your help may god bless you!!!!!!!!read more

It is with ease and great content that I write this review. When I came to Michael Paul and explained the circumstances of my case, he was not judgmental. He walked me through a number of scenarios and made recommendations based on his experience with criminal law. I was always able to get in contact with Michael and he showed up at every hearing until the final disposition. I was extremely satisfied with the results. If you are considering him for service, please believe that he knows his stuff and will work hard to help you in all the ways that he can.read more

I was referred to Mr. Paul after an incident with my 17 yr old son.
I was very nervous upon initially contacted him, as I was unsure of what to expect.
From day one, Mr. Paul was very welcoming and assured me my son would be fine.
He explained everything throughly in layman terms so that I could fully understand the process. Mr. Paul was so compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, thorough , and diligent! He did not only present as a attorney, but as a friend. I can not ever remember him not responding to my phone calls, text messages, or emails in a timely manner. I just can not say enough positive things about Mr. Paul and would highly recommend him if you are in the market for a competent attorney!!!
Thank you, Mr. Paul for helping my family through a very scary time!read more

In life you should always have a few good things and thats a good mechanic, a great accountant, and a an even better lawyer!! I found that 5 years ago when I met Michael Paul. I received my second DWI ticket and I was facing serious repercussions. Michael helped me not only understand my options and what I was facing, but he guided me as a friend as well as my lawyer through the whole ordeal! After the court system tried to do thier worst with me Michael got me the best result with a victory in court! He was able to answer any questions I would have, he was always prepared for court, and most of all he treated me like more than a client from day one. I would use Michael or recommend him to anyone who really needed a good attorney. I remain close with Michael to this day and he will be the only lawyer I ever use.read more

Remarkable!!!!
Ever since I hired Michael Paul for my husbands case he has been there through every step of the way. My husband was facing a Class B felony robbery in the first degree and was facing 25 to life if he blew trial. With Michael Paul's help he was very persistent with the D/A to get my husband a good deal of less than 5 years and dropped most of the charges to a D class Felony, with also being a persistent felon. Me and my family are so grateful for his help, and would definitely hire him in the future with any case!!
Thankyou Michael Paul. :)read more

Attorney paul help my family through our holiday season. Very humble attorney and human being. Down to earth knows his court system and law better than any attorney that I know and I have had my share. My husband is back home with 3 charges and a 10 year sentence. Michael and his staff are the best. I would recommend to anyone in need.

My life literally fell apart on 10/6/16 I lost my freedom my fiancé and my daughter. It All over an extortion plan from my ex husband. Facing serious changes and loss of employment I felt defeated. I spoke to many attorneys that made me feel it was all about the money. Until I spoke to Michael. He gave me hope and today 8 months plus later I am again happy free and with my family. All it took was 1 time to plea not guilty in courtroom and my 2 nd and last appearance was a resolution NOT GUILTY. Never have I been so grateful and happy. Attorney Paul being an ex District Attorney for more than 10 years was a blessing for me and all off his clients. I love this man and appreciate him till the day I die. My family and I forever grateful. Thank you Michael.read more

"After my nephew got arrested, my family and I made the best decision we could've made. We hired Michael Paul to be his criminal defense lawyer. From the moment he took over the case he guided us through the criminal justice system to a result that will have no negative impact on my nephews future. The most impressive thing was the respect that was shown to him in the courthouse by other lawyers, court officers and judges. This man is a pro!"
