About Andre Paul
Andre Paul Gaston studied political science as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before earning his law degree from Indiana University — Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis. The two degrees inform his approach to legal questions. One is grounded in public affairs and theory. The other provided the practical training of a J.D.
Gaston moved from classroom to courtroom and office settings equipped with that background. At UNC he engaged with the mechanics of governance and the language of public policy. At IUPUI he completed coursework and training typical of an American law education, developing skills used day to day in private practice and client advising.
He practices law at Gaston, L.L.P. There he handles matters for individual and business clients. His work has involved counseling, negotiating, and representing clients in formal proceedings. He describes legal work as a blend of analysis and practical problem solving. That mix reflects his academic training and his time in practice.
Colleagues and clients see him as a steady presence in the office. He approaches files methodically and prefers clear, direct explanations of legal options. He also spends time preparing written materials and organizing facts for hearings or meetings. Those habits help in both transactional work and contested matters.
Outside the day-to-day, Gaston follows developments in law and policy that affect his clients. His political science background gives him a perspective on how statutory and regulatory change can alter outcomes. He reads court decisions and regulatory updates and applies that information to current matters.
As a practitioner in a small firm setting, he often manages multiple aspects of a case — from initial intake through resolution. He works with clients to identify objectives and to weigh practical tradeoffs. That practical orientation guides his advice and planning.
He currently practices at Gaston, L.L.P., handling a range of legal matters for individual and business clients.
