Paula A. Aylward

I hired Paula Aylward to expunge a CPS record from 17 years ago. She did an amazing job of gathering all the facts, reviewing changes in the law, and reviewing errors made by CPS. She kept me informed at all times. She was able to get this off my record so I can proceed with my career and life withou...t his hanging over my head. Thank you!

My name had been put on the Central Registry for abuse and neglect basically over having a dirty house. The ramifications of this meant I couldn't work with kids, which is what my degree is in. I tried to have my name expunged, but the state people fed me some false information and my expungement was... dismissed. I contacted Paula and she was able to see that I clearly didn't belong on the list and she knew exactly what needed to be done to have my name removed. She was upfront with me about what could possibly happen, and also with what she thought most likely. She was available any time I had any concerns. The day she called to tell me my name was being expunged, without having to go back to court, I think she was almost as happy as I was! I highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her if I ever run into any issues that fall under her purview again.

We hired Attorney Paula Aylward to write a letter to the DHHS to request expungement from the Central Registry. Paula was professional, polite, timely and excellent with details. She emailed us and called us to update us on what she needed from us, and what she was working on. She is an excellent com...municator. She was available when we had phone appointments set up for a specific time. Promptly replying to emails. She did excellent work summating the information we had provided. She used multiple resources like other books, studies, cases to show why the current accusations were incorrect and what is permissible by state law. She is very well experienced and very knowledgeable. We are so happy we hired her and we highly recommend her services.

I had never retained an attorney before when I brought a very sensitive matter to Paula Aylward. A lot was a stake, professionally and personally, and because of that, I am genuinely grateful I found Paula. A lot is said about doctor's "bedside manners," but not enough about an attorney's grace and... sensitivity, or "courtside manners," but Paula's were top knotch and greatly appreciated. Her professionalism, knowledge of the law, and communication style provided the equally important confidence I needed that the best possible outcome would be ours. I never considered that I would ever rate my attorney based on anything beyond his or her knowledge of the law and skill in arguing on my behalf, both of which earned my confidence in full, but it was her compassion that left me with a debt of gratitude. You would to well to retain Paula Aylward.
