About Michael Paul
At the law office of Michael Paul we provide 35 years of experience working in the criminal justice system. Michael Paul's first experience was as an undergraduate intern with the NYC Department of Corrections in 1980. He has now spent the last 25 years defending those accused of violating the law, from minor traffic infractions to the most serious crimes.
As a former prosecutor, Mr. Paul has the ability to see all sides of a legal issue and therefore brings a balanced perspective to each case, fully understanding the procedures and mentality of the prosecutor's office. He has an excellent reputation with the judiciary and has the ability to obtain favorable and creative resolutions. Michael has a passion for defending individuals charged with a felony, misdemeanor or violation.
When you retain Mr. Paul, you will always have his cell phone number so that you can contact him whenever you have questions or concerns. In addition to extensive trial experience, Mr. Paul brings formidable negotiation skills to bear in every case he handles.
