This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Paul Is Excellent

Paul Vangellow was very open and transparent. He freely gave us his time over the phone and seemed very knowledgeable. After further investigating our case, we decided we didn't need Paul's services. But he gave us enough information initially to put our minds at ease. His initial assessment of ...our situation was correct and we found this out, as I said, we further investigated some things. We called him back to let him know that his professional assessment was accurate and we thanked him for his time. If we ever need any assistance again in this area of our lives, Paul will be the first one we call.

Excellent divorce lawyer

I hired Paul Vangellow to represent me in my divorce proceedings when my divorce case was in very bad shape. It might easily end up in my ex-wife living in our house with our two kids for another 4 years having full custody and all expenses for house paid by me, leaving me completely out of money. P...aul Vangellow managed to reach an agreement with her and I got both kids living with me, house was successfully sold, proceeds were shared evenly and spousal support I pay to my ex-wife is rather modest and affordable for me. Paul really helped me to avoid bankruptcy and the loss of my job.

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.
