Paul Hittelman Obituary

July 7, 1938 - November 10, 2023 Attorney and native Angeleno Paul Hittelman passed away peacefully in his Palm Desert home on November 10, 2023. A lifelong Bruin fan, Paul earned his degrees at UCLA and Harvard Law School. Loving and charitable to his family and friends, Paul was also a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, and in life.
Paul was preceded in death by his wife Marilyn. Survivors include his sons Eric (Cindy), David (Robin), Steven (Kory) and Brian, his grandchildren Kaitlyn and Wyatt, his brothers Karl (Georgyn) and Jeff (Yolanda), and his longtime partner Joni Migdal.
