Paula M. Barbosa

Not only is her secretary extremely rude, but she advertises herself as an estate lawyer and she is anything but. She was clueless throughout the process in which my family hired her HUSBAND, not her. they apparently share accounts and fail to tell anyone that. She did not meet any state or court dea...dlines with anything, she was the worst communicator with correspondence, and she does not follow up on anything. We eventually had to fire her because the estate became very stagnant and wasn't moving forward even though we were incurring charges for phone calls and emails that were never returned. She is very polite in her office to you and to your face, and is a typical textbook lawyer as soon as you leave and has zero concern for the families involved or the estate itself. She told us we were about two years away from closing the estate, as soon as we fired her and paid our bogus bill, the new law office closed the estate within 3 months. She is also never in the office, she has more excuses then a child. I would suggest if you want an estate to be done quickly and correctly, do not hire this woman.
