Lying Lawyer

Worst lawyer in the universe…don’t waste your time or money…you will regret hiring her in the end.

Run from this firm!!!

Worst family law firm in Orlando. I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy! Lack of focus, terrible communication, ignorance, and outright lies is exactly what you should expect from Paulette Hamilton and her staff. When you look for representation as you go to battle, please find another law firm..., one that is aggressive, pays attention to you, and is detail oriented. This Clown show does not care about their clients, they care about money. I honestly don’t know how they are not embarrassed with how they handled my case and I will spread word far and wide so that nobody I know is taken advantage of like I was. PLEASE find a firm that is truly looking out for you - Divorce and child custody is hard enough without having a lackluster attorney representing you.

Amazing Attorney And Staff

Bankruptcy is a big step to take in life, sometimes it's the only way back up. Atty Hamilton and her staff made my experience with this decision of mine that much easier. With all of my health issues I was very dependent on their guidance and expertise. I could not be happier using Atty Paulette Hami...lton for my legal needs. Thank you all.

The Attorney You Deserve

Paulette Hamilton is actually what most lawyers claim themselves to be: Smart, dogged, sympathetic, qualified. But, beyond that, she is accessible and patient -- qualities that most lawyers I've dealt with have in short supply, if at all. Every client prizes an attorney who cares, knows what she o...r he is doing, and is responsive even when the client is nervous and demanding. Paulette Hamilton is one of those rare finds who actually delivers both the competence and the compassion that clients crave and deserve.
