Paul brings extensive experience in various areas of law, including juvenile, family, and probate and estate planning. He graduated from Franklin Pierce Law Center (Concord, NH) and was subsequently admitted to the Arizona Bar. He began his career with a family law firm in Phoenix before moving to north-central Arizona to work with a firm specializing in insurance defense.
In 2004, he established his own practice in Cottonwood, AZ, focusing on juvenile law, family law, and probate and estate planning, and has successfully represented clients in municipal, justice, tribal, and superior courts across Arizona. His commitment to justice is demonstrated by his work in alternative dispute resolution, including mediation training and teaching the Parent Education Course for the Yavapai County Superior Court for eight years, as well as his judicial service as the Presiding Magistrate of the Camp Verde Municipal Court (2014) and the Sedona Magistrate Court (2021). He was recently appointed as Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Pro Tem and will serve as one of two weekend judges for Yavapai County (2025)
Paul is dedicated to leveraging his broad experience to provide clients with knowledgeable and effective representation. Outside of his professional life, he enjoys outdoor activities, exploring new places with his wife, and is an avid supporter of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
