I’m very happy that I was able to be connected to Paul and I’ll be forever grateful with how much he helped me. From the first phone call I had with him, he was very knowledgeable and assuring. He answered every question I had and I never felt “pressured,” to hire him. He was easy to talk to. I always felt like “family.” He was very compassionate, understanding, prompt and efficient. I highly recommend his services!!!

When I was seriously injured last year we hired Paul to handle our case. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and responsive. And he was compassionate and caring. He answered our questions, returned our calls promptly and kept us informed every step of the way. We felt like we were a team, working toward the same goal. He was sensitive to our situation. I highly recommend Paul. He was a pleasure to work with.

I was looking for a lawyer for my moms workers comp case and came across someone online. I called him and he actually referred me to Paul. My mom and I met with Paul and he was knowledgeable, friendly and empathetic, so we hired him that same day. Paul asked us for all the contact information and started working on her case right away. Anytime I had a question or my mom received a letter or phone call from the insurance company I would email him and he was always timely and friendly with his response. Paul was great to work with and and ended up getting my mom a settlement that she did not expect. I am eternally grateful for what he did for my mom and would definitely recommend Paul to anyone needing a lawyer for a worker's compensation case.

My name is Sergio. I had the pleasure of hiring PAUL BYCK, for my workman's compensation case. During my time with Paul, he always demonstrated tremendous expertise with regard to legal research on my case. Paul had initiative and helped me with any issues that I had. Paul was extremely reliable and always showed me follow through on the issues that I brought to his attention. When working with Paul, I found him to always have compelling arguments that were valuable to my case. Paul was very supportive and his guidance went well beyond what I expected. I can not remember one instance where Paul was not reachable. When calling and leaving a message, his response was immediate. I will strongly encourage any friends/family or acquaintances in need of an attorney to hire PAUL BYCK. Anyone working with him will be extremely satisfied. I was very pleased with Paul's efforts, guidance and result in my personal case. I cannot thank you enough for your hard work & diligence in my case! Regards, Sergio T.

Paul was my attorney for a difficult legal issue. He is extremely patient, listens carefully to the client, and reaches the best solution possible. Don't worry if you have questions--he returns all calls promptly. I was so impressed with his representation and personal attention to my case that I retained his firm for another case. He is highly recommended.
