FOUNDER

1945-2020

Paul E. Blade was born and raised in Sandusky, Ohio. He met his late wife, Joan, at Bowling Green State University and they married upon graduation in 1966. Paul received his law degree at Cleveland Marshall Law School, and he was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1970. His first three years of practice were spent in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1973 Paul was admitted to the Florida Bar, and he, Joan and their four young children moved to Florida to begin their new life. In 1976 Paul started his own office and Blade and Blade, P.A. began as Paul E. Blade, P.A. In 1995 the firm became Blade and Blade, P.A. with the addition of son Bill. Paul was a Past-Chairman of Attorney’s Title Insurance Fund’s Broward County Advisory Team and a Past-President of Attorney’s Real Estate Council of Broward County. While he was recognized as a real estate expert, he was very active in the areas of wills, trusts, and probate. He had written wills for nearly 4,000 clients. You may have seen him in court representing a landlord in an eviction case. On the personal side, Paul was the proud parent of three sons and one daughter. He liked to talk about his children, the attorney, engineer, insurance adjustor, and schoolteacher; and he loved talking about his five grandchildren. Paul is truly missed at Blade & Blade P.A.
