Great lawyer to have

I don't know much about legal stuff, but Paula Greenway is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. She helped me with my bankruptcy case and made everything easy to understand. I didn't feel stupid asking her questions because she explained things in a way that made sense to me. Paula was always avai...lable to talk and made me feel like I was her only client. She was patient and kind throughout the entire process, and I never felt like I was being judged or looked down on. She really cared about me and my case. I highly recommend Paula Greenway and the team at Greenway Law Group. They made a difficult time in my life a little bit easier, and I'm so grateful for their help.

Highly recomment!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paula Greenway at Greenway Law Group for my bankruptcy case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Paula was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, taking the time to explain every step of the process and answer all of my ...questions with patience and understanding. What really stood out to me about Paula was her attention to detail and her commitment to making sure that my case was handled with the utmost care and expertise. She was always available to talk or email, and I felt like I had a true partner in her throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a bankruptcy attorney who will treat you with respect and dignity while providing top-notch legal representation, I highly recommend Paula Greenway and the team at Greenway Law Group. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

She cares about her clients

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Paula Greenway and the team at Greenway Bankruptcy Law. Filing for bankruptcy was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make, but they made the process so much easier to bear. From the very beginning, Paula was warm, compassionate, and under...standing. She never once made me feel ashamed or embarrassed about my financial situation, and instead focused on finding solutions that would work for me and my family. She went above and beyond to make sure that I understood every step of the process, and was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. What impressed me most about Paula and her team was their dedication to their clients. They truly care about the people they represent, and it shows in everything they do. They never made me feel like just another case or number, but instead treated me like a valued member of their community. Thanks to Greenway Bankruptcy Law, I'm now on the road to financial recovery. I never thought I'd be able to say that, but here I am. If you're in need of a bankruptcy attorney who will treat you with kindness and respect, then look no further than Greenway Bankruptcy Law. They'll take care of you like family.

So helpful!

I had so many questions and concerns before filing bankruptcy and Ms. Greenway answered them. Both she and her staff are very professional and just a joy to talk to. Very professional and know what needs to be done for a bankruptcy to be effective.

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.
