With an extensive background in litigation, Paul defends manufacturers in asbestos and other toxic tort cases.
Paul knew he’d be a litigator from the beginning of his legal career: he sees himself first and foremost as a problem solver who thrives on finding answers and developing arguments. With a gift for thinking on his feet, Paul excels at presenting a winning narrative in court and during mediation. Based in California, he is especially adept at working in difficult jurisdictions.
Throughout a nearly 20-year career, Paul has handled a wide variety of litigation, including professional liability, intellectual property, and construction defect; however, he has focused primarily on asbestos and toxic tort since 2018. He values working in such a personal field filled with individual stories, and he loves digging through the facts of a case, getting to the answers, and developing a solid narrative.
With a heavy focus on manufacturing clients, Paul has worked frequently with power equipment manufacturers for the energy industry and electrical component manufacturers, and he focuses much of his current practice on a multinational conglomerate corporation. Paul serves on the firm’s national coordinating counsel teams, assisting with client toxic tort needs in jurisdictions across the country. His goal is simply to make matters easier for clients by finding straightforward solutions to complex problems.
