Mr. Overson handled the divorce for my wife and I. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of family law and used professionalism and understanding from both sides and helped us to get this matter done in a timely and successful outcome for both parties. We both highly recommend his service. Thank you again Attorney Paul Overson.
I hired Paul only 5 days before my divorce's trial court date was scheduled and his skills and empathy were outstanding! (And his office staff was bar-none!) I will have no qualms about referring him to all my clients and friends, a real professional!

Highly Recommend
Family law issues can be very complex when filing for grandparent visitation rights. After I received a referral to consult with Paul Overson, I met with Paul. Paul discussed my case, explained the process and costs prior to my hiring him. Paul was very knowledgeable, honest, and thorough representing me during this difficult time. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and enjoy every precious minute I spend with my grandchild. I highly recommend Paul to anyone needing legal help.

Mr Paul Overson
I contacted Paul almost 6 years ago for his professional legal representation and council with regard to a family matter which needed immediate attention. As family matters tend to be high emotion and ugly at times Pauls' reserved , knowledgable demeaner combined with exemplary support staff were a breath of fresh air,An assurance that I was not helpless. His expertise shone through in that family matter as well as a subsequent entirely separate family matter which i continue to appreciate him as a resource.Ive learned that Paul appreciates and strives for the best outcome for his clients but has a core of values that try to preserve family bonds where and if possible... Im very satisfied currently and will refer to Paul Overson and his lawfirm as needed in the future.

A thank you from great experience.
I have worked with Paul over the last 20 years.
He has done everything from set up my corporations to handling a divorce and also aiding me in the patents of projects over the years.
He has always gone the extra mile for me when asked.
I recently moved my business to Little Falls Mn so unfortunately had to change to a lawyer in my area.
It will be hard to replace Paul but life goes on.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
When my dad was falsely accused of a crime, Mr Overson was there every step of the way providing excellent professional representation at a fair price. His advice was thorough and sound. He helped us navigate through a difficult system and got the case dismissed. You never expect something like this to happen to you or your loved ones but if it does Mr Overson is a great person to have on your side.

Excellent service
The service that I received from Paul Overson was excellent. Even though I was a little bit late to my appointment...he still let me go to his office. The price for his service was at a reasonable rate that I can afford. I would definitely recommend him.

The Most Caring and Best Service Ever
Mr. Overson and his assistant Jennifer were excellent in the way they handled my divorce case. It was timely, efficient, and most notably the best service I have ever received from an Attorney. I would recommend their services to anyone desiring to have their divorce done as quickly as possible, especially without having things drawn out costing you more money. His assistant Jennifer kept me up-to-date, and informed as to the step-by-step process as well.
Thanks Mr. Overson and Jennifer, you guys rock.

A good guide through a difficult time.
After I discovered that my wife was cheating, Paul Overson helped me through the divorce process. It went as smoothly as it could (considering the circumstances). I was awarded significant parenting time with my children and I receive child support from my ex. I would definitely recommend Mr. Overson as a lawyer.

Great lawyer
Paul did an excellent job during my divorce proceedings. He keep me informed of what was happening at all times. He went through the documents with me and helped me to understand exactly what they contained. I thought he handled things well during court hearings and mediation. I felt that he was able to get me the best settlement possible in the divorce.

Make the correct decision and hire this attorney!
I've worked with Mr. Overson for over 20 years. He has helped me with business, personal, and family matters. Mr. Overson is easy to work with and he's never too busy to talk and provide advice. He has even done some out of state work for me where he coordinated with an attorney licensed in that state. I know a lot of times, lawyers get a bad rap (maybe deservedly so). But, Mr. Overson is a true gem. If you are looking for a straight shooter who knowledgeable, helpful and fair with billing, then you should hire Paul Overson.

This guy "Rocks"
I met Mr. Overson by referral, from a very close and trustworthy friend. Mr. Overson handeled my car accident case, where I was rear ended and needed spinal surgery. He told me, all I needed to focus on was getting healed and he would handle the rest . I never saw a single medical bill and recieved a more than adequate check to rebuild my life with. Since, Mr. Overson has helped me to set up a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), planned my estate, and wrote my will. Thank you so much for all you have done for my family.................

Horrible in the area of family law
I hired Paul to handle a family court matter involving parenting time and false accusations of abuse. I received no meaningful legal representation by Paul. Paul passively responded to the opposing attorney's actions, letting her drive the course of the legal case. He had no fight in him. There were numerous court appears made and Paul was never prepared. He asked "me" for details and facts of the case on the date of the hearings. Unbelievable! How can an attorney advocate for you if he has no grasp of the elements of case?! I fired him after he asked me to sign a court order drafted by the opposing attorney what represented all the request and interest of the other party and none of mine. I was out thousands of dollars and my family court matter was in far worse shape then before I hired Paul. I now have new counsel and my case has taken a unmistakable turn for the better thanks to the diligence, knowledge, skill and drive of the new attorney.
