Northwest Legal Services
Background and Experience
Originally from the Seattle area, Paul traveled east after high school and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts – Political Science from Washington State University in the spring of 2010. He continued his education by enrolling in Gonzaga University School of Law the following fall and earned his Juris Doctorate in May of 2013. Much of his study was devoted to the field of intellectual property though a substantial amount of time was dedicated to litigation principles both in education and in practice. He spent close to a year with the Spokane County Prosecuting Attorney’s office to develop and hone tactics in litigation through trial and motion practice. Since graduating and taking the bar exam, Paul continues to develop his abilities as a litigator and attorney covering a range of practices.
Paul was among a number of other graduates to earn the inaugural Pro Bono Distinction at graduation, compiling over 150 pro bono hours in his third year of law school. In total, he completed close to 400 hours of pro bono service during his law school career and looks forward to continuing this commitment in his practice
