He is one of the smartest most effective litigators that I have encountered, really good at what he does. Whatever Paul had to say, the judges wants to hear.

Paul has the best insights, because they are based on experience and deep knowledge of federal court practice and procedure, Circuit Court strategy, and Supreme Court realities.
