Paul is a retired business lawyer who has been volunteering with Catholic Charities Refugee and Immigration Services since the Spring of 2018. He represents our refugee clients who wish to become U.S. citizens. Paul feels it is deeply moving to accompany a refugee through the naturalization process, especially to see the joy and optimism in their faces when they realize they have passed their final interview. If, instead, a client fails their English language or U.S. civics and history tests during the interview, Paul shares their disappointment with them and then helps them take their next steps.

In his spare time, Paul loves bicycling, traveling and entertaining with his wife. He is also determined to learn Spanish. Un perro viejo puede aprender un truco nuevo!
