Biography

Paul is an experienced Estate Planning Lawyer. His focus on the client-attorney relationship and peace of mind of his clients sets Paul apart from other traditional lawyers.

Paul takes his fiduciary role very seriously. His relationship-centered philosophy emphasizes a focus on solutions rather than just documents and deliverables. He believes in focusing on the client’s goals and pain points – not a stereotypical “one-size-fits-all” method. At the initial Strategy Session, Paul sits down with prospective clients, discusses their specific family and financial concerns, educates them on how the law works in North Carolina, and works with the clients to determine how their goals can be accomplished. Armed with that information, Paul then crafts a legal strategy tailored to the client’s unique goals and circumstances.

You won’t find Paul wearing a suit or tie. He believes in being authentic, not just fitting into the “lawyer mold”. And frankly, he hates suits and ties. Khakis and rolled up sleeves are part of the daily “uniform” at the office. Come as you are and be comfortable. This isn’t court or a wedding. Contact him today if you’re looking for an Estate Planning Lawyer in Cary, NC, Raleigh, NC, or Wake Forest, NC.

When he’s not helping families and business owners, you can find Paul spending time with his wife, Alix, and his sons, Mason (7) and Conor (5).
