He has secured recoveries of millions of dollars on behalf of plaintiffs, as well as significant defence victories. And virtually unique among litigators and trial lawyers, Paul splits his practice approximately 50-50 on the plaintiff and defence side. He is one of the rare breed of American attorneys who has tried cases to verdict on the civil side for the plaintiff and defence, and on the criminal side for the prosecution and defence.
In addition to his business litigation practice, Paul has also earned a reputation as one of America’s leading practitioners pursuing civil lawsuits on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse, including childhood sexual abuse. In this field, he has obtained numerous multi-million-dollar recoveries on behalf of his clients.
