Paola helped me to feel confident & at ease about my upcoming divorce proceedings.

Attorney Paola Torselli was recommended to me by my close friend. When I first contacted Miss Torselli, I did not know my rights and what to expect when faced with a divorce. It seemed that my husband was holding all the cards & was making all the decisions benefiting him. Miss Torselli sounded kind and caring on the phone. She called me right back and explained all the options & differences of her services. I went for consultation since my husband & I decided to go our separate way without having to pay possibly high attorney fees. We wanted to start anew amicably since we share a child together. I noticed from the start the kind approach of Paola. She suggested consultation. I scheduled an appointment immediately. At her office she was friendly & approachable. She went through each paragraph in detail, explaining what it means (letting me to make my own notes). Also what my rights are after being married for many years, about alimony & child support. She was very patient during the whole process. I felt safe and I trusted her completely, telling her my whole situation in detail. Her advice was very professional and direct. At the same time she never forgot that at the center of it all is and is going to be the welfare of our child. Our relationship would have an impact on him. I have to say that I feel like she gave me a healthy outlook on my new found situation & a smart approach to my future life. I can only recommend attorney Paola Torselli as a divorce attorney. She really helped me a lot, erased my fears, and instilled a good feeling about my life to come.

AMAZING ATTORNEY!

Paola is so professional and such an amazing attorney. She was such a tremendous help to me during a terrible time. Would highly recommend!

Posted by Vernon | February 23, 2023

Great lawyer to work with

I found Paola after my first attorney stopped returning my calls. Paola was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. She was very patient with working with my now ex-wifey attorney's, as they were very unresponsive to getting documents to us and to the court. She was able to get the divorce as quickly as she could. I highly recommend hiring Paola if you're wanting to get your divorce done ASAP.

Incredible, kind lawyer!

Paola rescued me when I was navigating a difficult divorce situation and I was at my wit’s end. I can’t thank her enough for her professionalism, efficiency, and compassion. If you have any need for a divorce attorney, I would absolutely recommend Paola.

Excellent, Experienced Lawyer

Paola is an excellent lawyer. She was there for me at every step of my divorce and made it seem manageable when I was going through a very tough time. She took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly, and she genuinely cared about me. Paola has decades of experience and is very knowledgeable and efficient -- she made use of every spare minute during the mediation process to prepare the settlement agreement document which ended up saving me a lot of money. I trust Paola 100%, and she helped me achieve a much better settlement outcome than I expected. I highly recommend her!

So happy with Paola

I am so grateful to Paola for guiding me through my divorce. She was kind, thoughtful, attentive to my needs, and most importantly calm throughout. As a consequence, it was key to me channeling all of the emotion that comes with a divorce constructively and resulted in an amicable outcome that was much quicker and much less painful than it could’ve been. If you need an attorney to shoulder the load while you handle all of the other things going on in your life, you can’t go wrong with Paola.

The Beat Divorce Lawyer!!!!

My Journey with Paola Torselli began during the pandemic. I found Mrs. Torselli’s firm because my X Wife had filled for a Divorce, and I was in need of legal council. From my very first interaction with Mrs. Torselli she was empathetic yet straight forward, detailed and extremely thorough. I could not have asked for anyone more accomplished than Paola and the Torselli Law Firm to represent me. Paola Torselli is quite simply the best Divorce defense out there period. If you are in need of representation, look no further because she is the one.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

I could not have asked for a more thorough, compassionate and dedicated guiding light through this dark period of my life. Attorney Torselli went above and beyond to make sure I understood the entire process and the possibility of any future amendments. Because of Covid, we never met in person, but if we had, I would give her a big hug.

Un Divorcio difícil

Contrate los servicios de Paola para que me defiendiera en un proceso donde injustamente me llevaron a corte por algo que no hice, gracias al conociemiento y experiencia de la abogada, este proceso finalizo exitosamente. Despues de este duro proceso decidi tomar nuevamente los servicios de la abogada Paola para mi divorcio, el cual aparentemente era un proceso facil y rapido, desafortunadamente la contraparte dilató el proceso por dos años con solicitudes y peticiones absurdas. Agradezco y recomiendo 100% el trabajo de Paola no solo porque estuvo conmigo en ese dificil trayecto, sino que se comprometió hasta el final. Con su larga experiencia, conocimiento y profesionalismo tambien culminó este proceso exitosamente. Estoy inmensamente agradecida. Nuevamente GRACIAS Paola!!

Honest and kind attorney!

The divorce process was hard for me as my ex would not agree or even try to meet half way on issues. Paola was thorough and kind, helping each step of the way. She did not waste time (retainer $), rather she worked hard and smart. I am happy with the outcome and am grateful that she represented me. Thank you Paola!
