The case Paul handled for me was complex by government design. I had been acquitted, but the government appealed by taking a position contrary to what it claimed at trial. The acquittal was reversed. I hired Paul to appeal that ruling. He worked hard. He billed reasonably. We worked closely together. In the end, he refuted the government’s case sufficiently that the appellate court ignored the arguments of both sides and unilaterally declared a new crime that was never indicted, never tried, and was in fact contrary to what the government claimed and what the evidence showed. So, I went to prison illegally in early 2010. I served the sentence, but the petition challenging my imprisonment is still before the court, over five years later. Paul did an excellent job. We all underestimated the integrity of the court.
