About Paul G. Barden

I represent clients seriously injured due to the negligence or misconduct of others. I also represent physicians, nurses and other licensed health care professionals in disciplinary matters before the Office of Professional Discipline and the Office of Professional Medical Conduct.

My passion for medical-legal cases arose during my service as a Judge Advocate ("JAG") with the Army Claims Service. I was responsible for supervising and adjudicating medical malpractice, motor vehicle and other injury claims filed against the Army through eight different claims offices covering four states in the southwestern United States. I received extensive training in the investigation and analysis of tort claims as well as the evaluation of injuries. The culmination of this training was attendance at a month- long training course in a military health facility where I observed a variety of medical procedures and received classroom instruction by physicians from nearly every major medical specialty. I knew I had found my passion.

After six years on active duty, I left the Army and returned to Rochester where I joined the law firm of McConville, Considine, Cooman and Morin, PC. I chaired the firm's personal injury department where I spent the next twenty years of my career litigating personal injury cases and representing health care professionals in state disciplinary proceedings. I also spent seven years as the firm's managing partner and remained in the Army Reserves until my retirement as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2013.

In 2019 I joined Paramount Settlement Planning where I serve as a trusted advisor to personal injury attorneys across New York State. As a licensed life, accident and health insurance broker, I provide structured settlements, attorney fee structures, settlement planning, asset and government benefit preservation counseling and lien resolution services. I also provide trial verdict CPLR 50A/50B computations and analysis of Medicare Set Aside requirements. I participate in catastrophic injury, high-value mediations in personal injury, medical malpractice and labor law cases.

In the summer of 2020 I decided that in addition to my work with Paramount, I would return to actively representing personal injury clients and health care professionals in disciplinary matters. I am a sole practitioner dedicated to maintaining a very modest case load so as to provide personal and attentive service to each and every one of my clients. When you retain the Law Office of Paul G. Barden, you will work exclusively with me. It would be my honor to use my nearly 30 years of legal experience to help you obtain the best result and outcome possible.

Mr. Barden was very knowledgeable regarding the issue and circumstances I was in. He thoroughly and effectively explained what I could expect from the process ahead of me. He was responsive and prompt regarding our correspondence. He was also very understanding and workable regarding the typical cost of obtaining legal representation. It was one of the toughest periods of my life, but I am incredibly grateful to have had Mr. Barden for consultation and support.

When it became apparent that I should look for a lawyer, I was fortunate to find Paul. During my initial consultation, he answered all of my questions before I even asked them. His knowledge put me at ease and gave me hope. He told me potential outcomes and what he could and could not do. He worked hard to represent my side of the situation and negotiated a reasonable outcome that I never would have accomplished alone. I am forever grateful.

After dealing with different lawyers in attempting to resolve my particular situations. I was for sure feeling downtrodden. Then I found Paul. He renewed my faith in the profession and gave me hope with the best personal outcome. He is gentle and kind when he can be. But will be fierce in your defence when required. Done with precision and tact. He brings this profession honor. You will be in excellent hands.

We met Paul in October 2020 after my husband was t-boned on his motorcycle. He came highly recommended and from the moment we met Paul we knew we had made the right decision. Paul’s dedication, professionalism and knowledge of law was evident from the beginning. Paul tapped into his vast knowledge of law to help cut costs for medical records, kept us educated on the process each step of the way and answered every question openly and honestly, no matter how awkward the question was to ask. We cannot thank Paul enough for his dedication to settle our case while keeping our best interest at heart the entire time. Right from the onset of the process Paul assured us if he felt we were not being offered a fair settlement, we would file suit to get us what we deserved for my husbands’ injuries and economic loss. Paul proved this to be true. His perseverance paid off and we were offered the full demand.
