About Paul Sewell
Paul G. Sewell is an attorney at PWRFL Law in Seattle, Washington. He earned a degree in Political Theory and Philosophy from Columbia University, where he was a four-year varsity letter winner in Division I wrestling, and his J.D. from Seattle University School of Law, where he won the law school's in-house appellate competition and represented Seattle University at the national Moot Court competition in New York.

Proven verdicts and settlements
Seattle Public Schools agreed to pay $16 million in October 2024 to settle a lawsuit from a former Garfield High School student who said two coaches sexually abused her over several years while the district failed to intervene. The suit named volunteer coach Walter Jones, who had been barred from district employment yet was allowed to coach anyway, and assistant coach Marvin Hall, who continued an abusive relationship with her into her college years. It is the largest tort settlement in the district's history, funded mostly through the district's insurance pool. Both coaches were separately prosecuted in King County Superior Court: Hall pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor in 2025, and Jones's child rape trial ended in a hung jury and a mistrial in December 2025. Paul Sewell and Tomas Gahan of Peterson Wampold Rosato Feldman Luna represented the former student.
