Posted by Jeanette | July 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Modern day white knight

With everything that was taken from me in an abusive marriage and all that was attempted in a prior custody battle, he came through... with intelligence, heart, toughness, and a type of resolve that isn't common among his professional peers. He does it out of the kindness of his heart through Leg...al Services and according to his internal moral compass. If he were to go into private practice, he would quickly gain the type of wealth that matches his ability. But there are those of us who benefit during the time being, the disenfranchised, railroaded, and/or abused, whom he saves the day for. He is a champion for children above all else. My boys owe their security, comfort, and happiness to Paul Shipp and I owe him a debt of gratitude for it I can never repay. He is humorous and down to earth... knows his business and looks out for his clients even if it means having to sternly realign them. You are lucky if you ever get him in your corner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
