Paul T. Gough - Law Offices - Paul is the attorney at his litigation specialty firm engaged in business, real estate and environmental-related issues. Having “learned the ropes” while in the Office of General Counsel at Mobil Oil back in the 1980s, his firm (formerly Straw & Gough) was retained as Mobil’s outside counsel thereafter not only to represent it in various ongoing matters, but to keep them off the payroll of potential downstream adversaries in the retail petroleum business. You see, Paul Gough is one of just a few practicing attorneys who, from the perspective of Big Oil, know “just too darn much about the oil business”. When Exxon swallowed Mobil, Paul’s firm acquired the ability to represent anyone it chooses…and that’s how he came to be listed among our group of savvy service providers. When looking for an attorney with an intimate knowledge of the oil business (and perhaps the way Big Oil will view your situation), Paul T. Gough may be just the man for you. Give Paul a call to see if he may be able to help you head off a future problem or solve one you already have. You can reach him at:

Toni Pinnolis a.k.a. “Lady Car Wash” – is a California car wash broker and consultant. While most active in the Los Angeles Basin, she is fully familiar with operating conditions statewide. In 1980, the male dominated car wash community was skeptical of Toni, its first female broker. That turned rapidly into admiration when she closed the sale of the industry’s first car wash for over $1 Million. After completing her 75th sale, Toni stopped counting and never looked back.
