Posted by Susan | June 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Divorce and custody

I was referred to Paula by a friend who spoke highly of her professionalism. Paula was amazing every step of the way. The lawyer I had previously was not ferocious enough and lacked tenacity. I wanted someone who would fight to get me a clean divorce and full legal custody of my children, I knew it w...ould be a battle. I needed someone who was strong, willing and experienced. Paula went above and beyond to ensure I got sole custody, she was phenomenal! Her experience showed in court, and her presence in the court room was exceptional. I am so grateful that I choose Paula B Katchmer, and I would do so again in a heart beat!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
