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.

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

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.

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

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.

"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!"
