Paula C. Scharff

My Mom and I first met and hired Paula because my Mom wanted to draw up her Will. I found her in the Yellow Pages (!) and after identifying three local lawyers which I wanted to contact before deciding on one, I chose Paula because she was the ONLY one I was able to speak with directly. I liked and a...ppreciated that accessibility and ease. After meeting with her, I was struck by her manner. Quite frankly, not what I'd expect from a lawyer. Certainly professional, of course, and respectful, but there was and always has been a warmth about her. She treated me and my Mom with compassion, as we told her about my Dad's recent death and other difficult family issues. After my Mom's death, I have continued to consult with, turn to and depend on Paula for all my legal questions and matters. These matters have included assisting me with my Mom's lingering medical bills (which I was not mentally capable of deciphering as I grieved my Mom) as well as in finding a Florida lawyer who could help in the Probate process of a house I have down there. Even after finding a Florida lawyer, I still felt better including Paula in the Probate process, even though the house was in another state which involved other laws and applications. I continue to turn to Paula, even after my Mom's passing, not only because I personally trust her judgment and expertise and feel very comfortable with her, but because one of the last things my Mom asked of me once she knew she was going to joining my Dad soon, was to call Paula after her death so that she could assist me in any way I needed. Knowing she was leaving me behind, but with Paula to turn to for help in my grief, brought my Mom great peace of mind as she departed this world. And if that is not a vote of confidence, I don't know what is.

Paula did my living will,and my will. Also POA both medical and for my will.I had to go to her office several times and got her full attention and help. What impressed me most about her was how she was very concerned about my decisions. I felt like I was her priority. Prompt with call backs. I trust ...her very much!
