About Paul

I am a former Cuyahoga County Assistant Prosecutor and now focus on criminal defense, white collar defense, and civil litigation (lawsuits). I also have experience and represent clients in the areas of business litigation, construction litigation, divorce and domestic relations (custody, visitation, and support), real estate disputes (including tax and board of revision matters), and employment litigation. I am a partner at Weston Hurd LLP, a full service law firm of approximately 50 attorneys with offices in Cleveland, Beachwood, and Columbus, Ohio. If I do not specifically handle a certain type of matter, another partner in my firm will be able to advise you.
