#bettercallpaula

Paula is PHENOMENAL!! I faced 6 charges and she was able to get me an offer dropping 4 charges!! My DUI was amended to aggravated reckless driving which kept me out of jail and with my license. She is just as intellectual as she is beautiful!! She is real and to the point! I recommend that you not ge...t in trouble but if you do, you better call Paula!!

Answer to my Prayers!

I had an extremely difficult case and was facing a lot of jail time. She got all of my felonies dropped, no jail time, only 2 misdemeanors. All my prayers for the best outcome, this was it. I could not have asked for anything better. Paula is very professional and results oriented. The type of lawyer... you want on your side!

Thank you Paula

Paula was an excellent choice of representation! She read me and my situation like a book and knew exactly how to explain to me my opinions. Because of the way she handled my case I was able to stay out of jail and serve probation time. Thank you for your time and help Paula, because of you and your ...team I was able to plan and attend my sons wedding along with my youngest son graduation.

Top of their game

Paula is very clear and concise with information. She exudes confidence and skill. Surpassed any and all expectations and was a pleasant surprise to be represented by her. Also impressive was her professionalism and go getter mentality. I highly recommend Paula. She is not to be underestimated. Thank... you Paula.

A Highly Skilled Empath is a Rare & Amazing Attorney

Paula worked my case and she got the false felony charge my narcissist husband tried to file on me as a power move dismissed. She picked up that he was lying immediately. And I now have evidence of his deception in case I need it for the future. She was very understanding and kind, but also plays har...d ball and great at her job in court. She went above and beyond for me and I’m still thinking of how to repay her for that. If you've been recommended to Scott's office don't hesitate to let Paula handle your case. She's a force to be reckoned. Thank you so much, Paula!

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.
