Integrity is what I look for when doing business with any company. Mr. Wickes demonstrated that. He was genuinely empathic with the situation that needed legal help. He gave clear concise steps required to address the process on the first phone contact. I talked to him personally. His counsel gave a realistic solution not an inflated outcome. I would gladly use his services again with confidence.

After consulting with several attorney's who would not take my case, Paul listened to my story and agreed that we in fact had been victimized. Paul took our case even though there were several hurdles to overcome. He worked hard and helped us receive a settlement. I am a 30+ year law enforcement officer and have worked with attorney's throughout my career. I can honestly say that Paul's integrity, professionalism and work ethic is beyond reproach.

Paul Wicks is empathetic and understanding . After calling another office and telling my unfortunate dental experience to a staff member who then briefly consulted with the lawyer, I was refused as a client. When I called Paul Wick's office, he answered the phone. He listened to my story which involved 9 months of dental care which left me with nerve damage and 7 misaligned crowns. All of this work had to be reconstructed . He took my case and the money I received helped cover the expense.

Paul was the most helpful with my bodily injury case.
He took me through all the steps of fighting for my legal rights.
AND I WON thanks to Paul's knowledge and persistence.

My husband and I were very pleased with Paul Wickes. He is very personable and easy to work with. He was very prompt in communicating with us regarding our case. He is as he advertises: a lawyer of integrity and honesty. We are happy to recommend him to others!

Not very aggressive enough. He is very nice. Not enough research. Did not feel he had my back.

I've never had a client say this before. I wish whoever posted this would contact me so that we could discuss the concerns one-on-one. I try to always meet my client's expectations, but I can't solve a problem that is not brought to my attention.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
