Paula Elisabeth Pratt

After I researched Florida Matrimonial Attorneys, my elderly father hired Ms. Pratt based upon my research and recommendation from a former Pratt & Morrison client. Although my father was the client I asked Ms. Pratt to keep me in the loop. I felt she kept me and my father fully informed throughout ...the litigation. Her office worked tirelessly to settle his divorce with out wasting time and client's money (escrow) on needless litigation. Of course my father wanted a quick and easy divorce but there is no such thing as quick and easy when it comes to divorce. Ms. Pratt is an excellent litigation/trial attorney. She will fight hard for her client. Her staff, particularly Natalia are supportive and knowledgeable. If Ms. Pratt was not available Natalia had answer or was able to return a phone call with an answer. I read the past negative reviews about this attorney which I feel are unwarranted... Divorce law is a tough battle between two parties who are so blinded by their emotion and hatred they don't seem to understand the attorney is working hard behind the scene to resolve the issues. Court dates and waiting for a trial date are not within the attorney's control. This area of the law is a practice is patience and listening skills. Ms. Pratt has both. I highly recommend Pratt & Morrison and would not hesitate to refer someone to her office.

Paula and Natalia (paralegal) were very helpful throughout my divorce process. I was always informed and when push came to shove they were able to get a me a court date in a short amount of time. She does free consultations and was reasonably priced. I have referred her to many friends and would u...se her again in the future.

I started working with Paul over 6 years ago. As a single dad fighting for custody of my then 1 year old daughter, I knew I was in for a long difficult road. Paula worked very hard to litigate my case despite the numerous complexities that we had to overcome. I remember many instances where I had to... contact Paula after hours for what would be deemed rather serious issues, and Paula was ALWAYS responsive. I will say my case was far from easy to litigate due to the geographical disparity between the mother and myself as well as the courtroom drama that would always unfold in the 20+ hearings we had to go through. Through it all, Paula rode the roller coaster with me and tried to keep me calm through all of the chaos. My anxiety was extremely high through most of the court case, but Paula never skipped a beat. She is very good at sticking to the facts and doing what is in the best interest of her client and the child involved in the case. For instances, there would be times that I would present ideas to her and she would have to bring me back down to earth by asking if I truly believed those ideas were in the best interests of my case and more importantly my daughter. On February 20th 2016, I was finally awarded majority permanent custody of my daughter. It will be a day that I will always remember and I have Paula to thank for that. If you need an attorney who will work on your behalf and will strategically fight for your rights, consider Paula Pratt. You will not be disappointed. A word of caution, Paula is a highly respected attorney in the Central Florida area with many clients. This means she is very busy however, she will always address your needs and respond accordingly.

She did not fight for me. She did not file a response to a petition for dissolution. She did not even request a court date for trial. She does not return phone calls or emails or text messages. I did not have a good experience. I was forced to terminate her NO-services and hire another firm. She shou...ld be avoided and business practices investigated. Talk about over promise and under-deliver.

After being forced into the court system with my child's bully father for over a decade, paying close to $30K in lawyers fees with four lawyers, my x filed again on me. Paula was kind enough to give me a free consultation and right away offered to make a call to resolve the matter to his attorney. Sh...e also went out of her way to make several calls and file court orders for me pro-bono to avoid court once again. She had patience with me and explained the matter with me a few times when my anxiety was at it's highest and helped me resolve it. I can't thank her and her staff enough for helping me and helping me restore my faith in attorneys once again. Thank you Paula and Lora :)
