Mr. Overson provided a sense of relief and hope during a difficult time

As a desperate parent looking for legal advise during a difficult time to support a child, Mr. Overson became available to provide legal advice in a matter of minutes. Mr. Overson returned my call and was available for a consult immediately. After discussing with Mr. Overson, there was a sense of rel...ief and I was able to focus on the family matter instead of feeling fearful and hopeless. I highly recommend Mr. Overson! Mr. Overson is very knowledgeable, experienced, and took the time to explain the legal process. Thank you Mr. Overson for giving our family hope during a difficult situation with a child!

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 represen...ting 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.

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, espe...cially 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.

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.
