Since 1996, I have specialized in commercial, and, in some cases, complex individual, Chapter 11 (reorganization) and Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy proceedings and related litigation. During that time, I have represented corporate and individual debtors, Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 trustees, creditors and creditors’ committees, vendors, and parties in interest in bankruptcy proceedings (such as parties to contracts with debtors, commercial lessors, and purchasers of assets from bankruptcy estates). I also have significant experience in alternatives to bankruptcy, including assignments for the benefit of creditors and out-of-court workouts and assets sales. With regard to litigation, I have litigated well over twenty commercial cases of all types in state and federal (including bankruptcy) court, with a tried and proven record of success.

He has tried hundreds of cases throughout Maryland, in state and federal court, and currently practices throughout Maryland, the District of Columbia, and West Virginia. He plans on becoming barred in Pennsylvania and Virginia as his client base expands. Paul also routinely practices and tries cases before the Office of Administrative Hearings for accidental disability retirement claims. Paul speaks Arabic and French fluently, and grew up overseas throughout the Middle East, which are of great value in assisting his immigration clients with their needs.
