Very pleased!

James Padish represented me through my divorce and I am very pleased with the outcome. He made me feel confident and comfortable the entire time. His Paralegal, Alicia Gallo, was just as pleasant to work with and very personable. Going through a divorce at a fairly young age, and add two children und...er the age of 3, was very frightening at times. But I never lost hope that Mr. Padish would have justice served, and give me the ability to move forward with my life. His expertise with law, and previous career as a Judge, gave me the ease to go about my day and remain hopeful the entire process. I would recommend James Padish to anyone who feels taken advantage of by their spouse or business partner, and wants a shark to represent them. His name alone is worth every penny because of his reputation among his peers. A huge thank you to The Padish & Wells team!

  • 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.
