Admitted: Virginia Bar District of Columbia Bar Federal 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Federal District Court Eastern District of Virginia Biography: At the end of 2002, Paul retired from the Department of Justice (USDOJ). In his last position with USDOJ, Paul was assigned to the Office of the Assistant Attorney General at the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) as a Director of Special Projects. Before this, Paul was with DEA's Office of Foreign Operations, Latin America Division. Prior to my USDOJ career, Paul worked in the U.S. Senate and taught mathematics in NYC. While assigned to OJP, Paul helped develop and monitor contracts and grants with nonprofit and for-profit corporations as well as state and local governments. With respect to the above, Paul was also in close coordination with the respective U.S. Attorney's Offices on financial oversight and compliance issues as well as training. This position focused heavily on transactional legal matters such as contract review and interpretation that not only relied on a legal background but also on strong administrative and interpersonal skills. Additionally, Paul personally oversaw the implementation of pilot federal programs in coordination with state and local partnerships. One was with Jim Comey, present USDOJ Deputy AG, in his former position as First AUSA in Richmond VA in the late 90s. At the DEA, Paul worked as a Latin America Interagency Intelligence Coordinator and attorney on a number of international drug and money laundering operations assigned to DEA’s Office of International Operations. Earlier in my career, Paul was part of a team that instituted the initial drug asset forfeiture laws in the mid 1980s. During this period, Paul was assigned to the USAO in DC as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney. These assignments required Paul, or staff assigned to him, to regularly manage multi-jurisdictional teams as well as interface DEA with Customs, FBI, State Department and DOD officials. From 1986 to 1989, Paul was assigned by DEA’s EEOC to be the Legal Technical Advisor for the DEA Hispanic Agents’ EEO lawsuit. This led to assignment to other employee grievances during his tenure and gave him a greater insight into labor mediation and relation issues. For the past year, Paul has been consulting for DOJ’s COPS Office through The Institute for Law and Justice and have worked with Zimmerman Associates (ZAI) on a DOJ contract proposal. Paul also have been active locally by appointment to Loudoun County Sanitation Authority (LCSA) –Citizen Advisory Group for Broad Run’s Water Reclamation Facility (2002-2003) and Loudoun County ’s Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) Board (2003). Paul joined Dunlap & Grubb, P.C. in 2004 and uses his past experience to great benefit in working with Government Contracts, Elder Law and Juvenile Criminal Law.
