Puncture

After earning his law degree from Northwestern University in Chicago, Paul began his legal journey with the firm Tilleke & Gibbins, working in their Vietnam and Thailand offices. There, he focused on international business transactions before pivoting toward representing individuals in product liability, defective drug, and asbestos mesothelioma cases.

Paul’s advocacy for justice and consumer protection has earned him recognition in major media outlets such as The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Houston Chronicle, and CNN. His career took an extraordinary turn when one of his cases inspired the independent film Puncture, starring Chris Evans.

Paul not only served as the film’s Executive Producer but also co-wrote the original screenplay, drawing from his personal experiences. Puncture explores the corrupt practices between hospital purchasing groups and medical supply manufacturers, focusing on the real-life struggle to introduce safer syringe technology. Paul’s character plays a prominent role in the film, alongside Chris Evans as Mike Weiss, bringing to life the complexities of the legal battle they fought. 


Through Puncture, Paul leveraged storytelling to raise awareness about the critical ethical issues in the healthcare industry, showcasing his lifelong commitment to justice and meaningful change.

Testimonials

Paul represented me and my family in a difficult mesothelioma case. He always took the time to make sure we understood everything and always kept us up to date so there were never any surprises. In the end, I was very satisfied and can wholeheartedly recommend him and his firm to anyone for an asbestos case. Thank you for all that you did.
