He is committed to fighting for his client’s freedom and reputation. Paul is a former prosecutor that has now dedicated his career to defending people charged with crimes at both the State and Federal level.

A great criminal defense attorney is not only going to be a skilled trial lawyer, but also a good problem solver. Paul prides himself on his creative use of the law and criminal procedure in getting the results his clients have come to expect. At the Darrow Law Firm we understand that each case is unique, and thus requires special treatment. Paul does not believe in a “cookie-cutter” approach to criminal defense.

The cornerstone of an effective criminal defense is going to be the lawyer-client relationship. We believe that relationship is potentially going to be one of the most important relationships a person has in their lifetime. Paul believes that in order to have the most effective relationship possible trust and respect are required. We offer a free initial consultation so that both lawyer and client can meet and decide if they want to form a lawyer-client relationship. 

Paul prides himself on not only getting exceptional results for his clients but also in effectively communicating with them about their case. Paul believes in keeping his clients involved and informed about their case. He has chosen to keep a smaller case load in order to have the time to dedicate to each client’s case.

During law school Paul had internships at both the Harris County District Attorney's Office and the Fort Bend District Attorney's Office. After law school he began his legal career at the Galveston County Criminal District Attorney’s Office. He tried cases in every County Court in Galveston handling cases ranging from DWI to Assault. He was promoted to the Felony Trial Division in less than nine months. While there he handled hundreds of felony cases and was again promoted to the Crimes Against Children section of the Felony Trial Division. This section handles some of the toughest cases. There Paul tried numerous cases including Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, Indecency with a Child, Child Pornography Charges, and Online Solicitation of a Minor Cases.

During Paul’s time as a prosecutor he honed his trial skills and was trained by some of the best trial lawyers in the state. He now uses those same skills to fight for his clients. He uses his experience prosecuting hundreds of cases everyday.

Paul believes in finding one area of the law and doing it better than anyone else. That’s why his law practice is devoted 100% to criminal defense. In any given year Paul attends more continuing legal education and training that is required by the State Bar of Texas and all of it is focused on finding the most cutting edge trial techniques and law to help his clients accused of crimes. As a result of Paul's dedication to his legal education he is a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas. Paul is a former Eagle Scout and lives the motto, "Be Prepared."
