Paula Jeanette McGill

Paula McGill won a settlement for me from a landlord who was suing me for $25,000 and the landlord got NOTHING!! She was very thorough and gave my case her undivided attention. She walked me through every step and let me know exactly what to expect, as well as the appropriate way to handle the situ...ation. She was very personable, available when I had questions or concerns and affordable, which was a big plus. I do not want to date myself; however, Paula McGill is "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" and "Smart As A Whip". She definitely knows her stuff. She called it and gave that landlord the BUSINESS!!

I intended on utilizing Paula’s services for my dispossessery case but was unable to afford her service fee after being hit with an emergency expense. Paula still gave me more than enough information I needed to successfully get my case dismissed. Today I had my ordered court appearance and successfu...lly had the dismissal granted. Thank you so much Paula! I’ve worked hard over the years to improve my credit score and become a home owner, this filing negatively effected my rental report causing me to lose out on a perfect rental opportunity. Now that this case has been dismissed my rental report will not be effected. Thank you so much Paula you truly are a blessing to our community!

I hired Ms. McGill for a landlord-tenant issue ( I was the tenant). I was very pleased with her overall knowledge and plan of action. She also offered free advice over the phone and subsequently offered a free consultation. She was respectful and did not rush conversation, in order to get all pertine...nt details. However, after after paying my retainer, no action was taken for nearly one month (this was for an attorney letter and negotiations with a management company). Initially I was told that the letter would be completed in 48 hours (I did not request this timeframe). I heard nothing for a week and a half later. I contacted her again, and she stated that she completes her letters over the weekends and that she would send me a letter to review after the next weekend. Two weekends passed and I heard nothing. I contacted her again and stated that I would like a refund of my retainer, which she agreed to do. When I picked up my retainer, she stated that some people want things done faster than she is able to do them and offered no apology. I would not recommend against her services, but if choosing her I would recommend setting a firm timeframe or deadline which fits both attorney and client schedules. It is important to let a client know what to expect in a truthful manner. Whatever situation they come to you for is causing them discomfort as well; enough for them to pay for your services. Also if you fail to comply with the timeframe agreed upon, then an apology or explanation would be nice.
