In September 2009, Paul was named recipient of the 2009 Barbara F. Kishpaugh
Award from the Elder Law Section of the San Antonio Bar Association, in
recognition of special contributions made on behalf of the elder community in
San Antonio.
In the late 1980's, Paul created a "self help" legal service. As technology
has improved, that service has evolved into our
Virtual Online Law Office, which
provides secure preparation of
your vital legal documents by allowing you to work with Paul
Premack online. It also allows you to have a personal
consultation with Paul Premack using the internet. Use
the links in the menu to the far left to learn more. It is secure,
confidential and on your own Schedule.
