Paul Russell Panico

Please don't not waste your time with this entire lawfirm. Absolute nightmare, over charged with nothing done, and to top it off they let people walk on them so they can extend and make more money. I pray no one else wastes there time, they put me out 7 months without even 1 motion to see my Son. I t...ried to resolve multiple times but was told I had to pay 500.00 to just have a explanation on the billing and what was done.

I was so skeptical at first since I've never retained an attorney before and I've worked for attorneys, so I know how some of them can be. Since Paul was so much more responsive than other attorneys, I was willing to pay his higher-than-average hourly rate, especially after he made it clear that he w...asn't going to retire off me and if it was justifiable, he'd balance the scales. I felt like I knew Paul my whole life after sitting down with him for our initial consult 10 months ago. He listened to every excruciating detail I had to give him and took great notes. It was obvious he wanted to make sure I was fully protected going into the ordeal. I had NO idea the opposing counsel we were going up against would sink so low not only in professionalism, but in just supporting a fair & positive outcome for the best interest of our child. Paul kept me aloft on every trick, delay and dramatic inject opposing counsel added to the mix. With magistrates failing to show and numerous month-to-month hearing "pushbacks" because opposing counsel would purposely wait until the day of court or close of business the day prior to present their offers. This is because the more months that passed, it became a game of attrition for opposing counsel hoping I was just "settle" and drop the contempt against my ex-wife for refusing to let me see our daughter for nearly three months without even notifying the court or modifying our agreement. Long story short, opposing counsel was able to drag this relatively simple case out for ten months using EVERY trick in the book at the expense of our child, the valuable time of the courts, the court guardian at-litem and Paul argued for the best interest of our child and for a timely and fair outcome for both parents, despite all of the petty drama stemming from opposing counsel. Approximately 8 months of hearings (or lack thereof), I had spent thousands on two attorneys (including court guardian ad-litem) and couldn't take much more. That's when Paul worked with me to make sure we got through this ordeal together. He was a man of his word and provided the legal protection, arguments and filings needed to ensure that I got 50/50 custody of our daughter and significantly more time with her. I wish I would have retained him back in 2015! If you want an attorney who WILL fight for your rights as a loving parent when you're going into a scary legal situation and you want a legal professional who WILL respond to you promptly, Paul Panico is your best bet in Central Ohio. Take it from me who was so skeptical to ever retain legal help in the first place. It's worth the money to establish your self as a parent for many years to come!!!!

Paul represented me in my divorce. To say that I was very frightened of what might happen was an understatement. As a background, I own a business employing 25+, so I felt I had a lot to lose. More importantly, I have two wonderful children. Fast forward, Paul and his staff took care of me while no...t vilifying my wife, which was also important . I have to say, financially what happened hurt like heck, but it was fare. I get to be with my children regularly. All-in-all, Paul and his staff brought to together the right resources to help me get through a very turbulent time. I recommend his office very highly.
