My experience with Paul was excellent. From start to finish, I was always informed on what was happening with my case. He understands how to communicate effectively with both his client and other attorneys. He is up front and trustworthy. He and his hard working staff are very personable and professional. I highly recommend Paul if you need a an attorney.

Paul Bovarnick started out as my lawyer and as the case went I made a friend. He was always honest with me and talk to me often about the plan. Paul always called and questions about the case, more importantly he want to know how I was doing. Then he stayed honest to the case, he never tried to build or take the case anywhere that we could not support the facts. Today we are still friends because of his honesty and friendship. If I have questions about things he still always answers his phone and talks with me and gives me great advice. Paul Bovarnick is my lawyer, my friend and you could not find a better lawyer for your case.

Paul is an excellent attorney and it is obvious he loves what he does. He is very knowledgeable of the process of personal injury litigation. He was caring and compassionate during the entire time he represented me. He always took the time to listen and communicated promptly when I needed to talk to him. Paul and his staff are very professional and helped to make a difficult and stressful process easier. I was very impressed with how he interacted with the opposing attorneys. At the beginning of my case Paul (and staff) were strangers but by the time my case ended I felt as if I had gained new friends. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone!

When I called Paul, he promptly returned my call, set up a time to meet, traveled to me, arrived near the location of my injury, visited with me, then we went to the location where he asked the property managers questions related to my case, and took photographs. He told me up front the obstacles, procedures and the approximate value of the case. In the end it settled slightly higher than what he stated up front, and that was due to his extra vigilance on a negotiation with my health care provider, who was not directly related to the aim of the suit. You will develop a freindship along the way with Paul and his staff, because of his and their deep integrity, involvment and understanding of your case. I consider Paul a friend and a superb attorney, including his staff. I do and have recommended Paul to others and will continue to.
