Paul Tharp was an excellent attorney. After my accident, which was my first major wreck, i was pretty lost as to what to do. Paul was very understanding at my lack of knowledge and talked me through the whole ordeal. The case was resolved quickly, with little effort on my part. I would highly recommend Paul to my family or friends.

I’ve now used Paul twice. He’s been more than just a great lawyer, he’s been like a shark in the very best way. After getting denied for disability on my own. I again went to Paul for help. After the first meeting and getting all my information there was very little else I had to do. He kept me in the loop all the way. Up to the day of court, then when I got there he had already spoken with the judge and got the approval for my disability. Paul and his staff are absolutely wonderful in my book.

I retained Mr. Tharp to help me with a personal injury claim against my insurance company. The person who hit us had no insurance, nor a driver's license; therefore, my claim would have fallen under the uninsured section of our insurance, at which they did not want to pay. Mr. Tharp and his able paralegal, Dylan Griffin, worked steadily on my case and had it settled in less than a year. The settlement covered all of my outstanding medical fees, as well as a nice personal injury settlement for me--which I did not expect. I placed my trust in them from the beginning and asked them to lead me through the process. They did just that and made the process so much easier. I would certainly retain them again if I ever needed an attorney again.

Tharp and Stephanie were excellent in guiding and providing updates through out the process of my case. Without even meeting them once, everything went through emails and phone calls. I am pretty much happy with thier process and procedures. Except the final amount (which could have been better in bargaining), I am happy with the rest.
