Paul A. Bellegarde, Esq. provides innovative legal-service solutions that are designed to meet the modern needs of most small and mid-sized businesses, through service packages and pricing models that are without rival in the marketplace and designed to leave each of our clients more than pleasantly surprised.

Our "secret sauce" lies in the strategic partnership of several professional practice areas in which Paul is presently engaged, and the wide range of proven capabilities that Paul has acquired through a deep and varied professional background that spans more than
22 years in the Mid-Atlantic Regional and Washington-Area markets.

You see, Paul is not only a licensed attorney (VA, MD and DC), but also a licensed real estate broker (MD, VA) and builder (VA), as well as a published author, continuing-education instructor (VA, MD, other), State Bar official (VA), and public speaker. Beginning in 1986, Paul developed his extensive legal expertise in both the law-firm and private-business settings, including six years as a Partner with one of Maryland's largest law firms, and three years as Executive Vice President and General Counsel for a large (600 total personnel) Washington-area real estate company where he also managed its commercial division. For the last three years, he has broadened this experience even more with the added operation of separately licensed professional practices in the brokerage (real estate) and builder/construction fields, as well as private investment in small real-estate acquisition/development projects with other partners.

Over his career, Paul has successfully resolved scores of disputes involving clients and issues of varied size and complexity, and has also negotiated and closed dozens of transactions in the real estate and commercial-contract arenas.
And although he certainly has not seen EVERY issue, it is fair to say that the depth and breadth of Paul's substantive knowledge and wide-ranging professional skill set, is a formidable combination that is tough to match in the marketplace.

In short, Paul's clients enjoy the luxury of one central "go-to" person for their legal and business requirements, which results in not only better overall business efficiency, but also enormous "peace of mind."

But depth, breadth and quality of service are only part of our competitive advantage. We are also able to offer unique service packages and innovative pricing structures that quite simply provide our clients with more service for less cost -- a welcomed solution to any business, but exceptionally timely in today's economy.
