About Paul
Paul focuses his practice on serious injury and insurance-related disputes. He began his legal career in 1996 representing insurance companies, first in Nevada and next in Oregon. In 2009, after more than a decade experiencing firsthand how insurers wield their tremendous power and resources, Paul began a plaintiffs’ personal injury law practice in Hillsboro. Since then, he has used his knowledge of the insurance industry and skills as an advocate to represent individuals with injury claims throughout Oregon. In addition to his role as an advocate for his clients, Paul is also frequently called upon by his peers to serve as an arbitrator in private and court-mandated arbitration proceedings. When not working, Paul’s passions are his family, his friends, traveling to Greece, the New York Mets, music, poker, fishing, dominoes, and his dog Lucy. And he remains in constant pursuit of a perfectly smoked brisket.
