An Exceptional Attorney

I was going through a custody battle with my daughter's father. He was trying to make me look like I was not giving him time with her and like I was an emotional mess. Paula took my case and walked me through everything I needed to know legally and helped me to make a co-parenting plan that was best ...for our daughter!! She helped me to take a step back and do what's best for my child instead of letting my emotions lead the case for me. The results were great and I believe I am better prepared to co-parent.

An outstanding attorney!!

Recently I was faced with divorce papers and Ms. Pierce came highly recommended. To make a long story short I couldn't of been more satisfied. Ms. Pierce explained all the ins and outs and took control. This is one time I can say money well spent!

A great attorney!

My divorce was unexpected...I didn't know what to do or who to turn to. A good friend of mine referred me to Paula Pierce, who was a lifesaver. She held my hand for two years! Yes, it took two years to divorce my ex! She gave me hope, and assured me we would tackle this together. She let me know ...I was not alone. I would recommend Paula as an excellent attorney. Someone who is trustworthy, easy to talk, affordable, reliable, and most importantly; extremely knowledgeable. Divorce doesn't have to be bad as long as you have someone good by your side. I am forever grateful for the service Paula provided to me.

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.
