Throughout his legal career, Paul has worked in conjunction with lead trial counsel on hundreds of complex medical malpractice matters, assisting in all phases of litigation from initial client contact through trial. He assisted in the extensive preparation of the defense in a medical malpractice matter involving alleged negligence in the delivery of an infant at a major Philadelphia hospital where the mother sustained severe neurological damage requiring permanent in-patient care. Paul was able to achieve a settlement well within the clients' insurance coverage, despite plaintiff's demand in excess of $40 million and media exposure by local television.

Through the use of experts in family medicine, psychology, forensic pathology, handwriting, chemical analysis, and economics in a case involving the alleged failure of a primary care physician to properly treat depression resulting in the patient's suicide as well as allegations of alteration of medical records, Paul's team was able to achieve a settlement under six figures, well below plaintiff's demand in the low seven figures.
