- Prior to attending law school, Paul earned his Master of Business Administration degree, which has proven to serve him and his clients well
- However, Paul credits his successful practice to the relationships he’s built with his clients
- They recognize the deep commitment he has to seeing them succeed, and when they come across a friend or family member dealing with similar issues, they pass his name along
- When getting to know one another and digging into the issues his clients face, Paul thinks back to his own divorce
- He understands the uncertainty and apprehension that often accompany these matters, and he fights twice as hard to put his clients’ minds at ease

- Before becoming an attorney, Paul worked as a child support enforcement officer for the Texas Attorney General’s Office
- It was that experience that convinced him to become a lawyer
- In working for the Attorney General, Paul felt like he was legitimately helping families in need
- However, he also felt that some of the regulations he had to follow – while important – could sometimes hurt families more than they helped

- With his ability to communicate with his clients, creatively settle cases, and his years of experience inside the courtroom, Paul's clients routinely walk away satisfied
