Paul Deloughery is a lawyer who finds real-world solutions to real-world problems. He stands against pretense, and advocates on behalf of families. Paul is founder and senior attorney at Deloughery Law, PLC. He was first admitted to practice law in 1998 and since 2001has focused on estate planning and probate issues, with a strong emphasis on blended families. He graduated with honors from the University of Iowa College of Law in 1996, and was a partner in a home-health agency just before beginning law practice. Paul sees through complex issues and comes up with potent strategies to resolve his clients' problems. Consider probate. This can create stress following the death of a loved one. If you're in charge of an estate or trust, all eyes are on you, and people look to you for answers during an emotional time. Greed may enter into it, if a financial windfall is involved. In addition, probate codes are not only complex, they don't come with users' manuals. That's why hiring an experienced attorney is essential. You want guidance. You want answers. You want to get through the process quickly and efficiently. You want Paul. He can help. On the other hand, estate-planning can be a rewarding experience. Paul brings a breadth of life experience to the task. He can help you decide how you manage your legacy and how you'll be remembered. He'll leave nothing for the family to cope with after the fact. Paul's own experiences have helped him understand those of others. He knows the pain that family disputes and litigation can cause, and wants to ensure that families don't go through similar situations. He knows firsthand the long-term impact of childhood trauma and family chaos. He has dealt with mental illness and suffered verbal, emotional and even physical abuse. His father died when Paul was 16, and his mother barely escaped bankruptcy. In 2003, when Paul was 35 years old, he discovered that his father had actually been his stepfather. Paul finally met his biological father in 2009, six weeks before his death. Paul has worked hard to overcome this anguished personal history, and has come to a deep understanding of human psychology and the conflicting dynamics underlying legal issues.
