His motto, ”Don’t just take the fall, call Jay Paul,” reflects his commitment to fighting for the best possible outcome, whether you are charged with a crime or fighting for disability benefits.
Areas of Practice
Jay Paul Coleman brings a unique perspective to his practice, having worked as a policy analyst in Washington D.C. and as a public defender. This breadth of experience allows him to handle a wide variety of legal matters:
- Criminal Defense: If you have been arrested, the firm provides aggressive defense for charges ranging from traffic tickets and misdemeanors to serious felonies like drug crimes and violent crimes. The firm practices in both State and Federal courts.

- Estate Planning: assisting families in securing their future through the creation of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. The firm also handles guardianship hearings and probate administration.
- Civil Rights and Education Law: advocating for the rights of students and citizens who have been treated unfairly.
