Great legal advice from a very personable, smart, caring attorney!
I called Pamela based on the comment she made in response to a person’s legal concerns. I found her comments to be very detailed and helpful. She took my call. And as much as I tried to make it short and brief to not to bother her and take up too much of her time, she was so respectful and wanted to listen to everything I had to share and even asked good questions. She gave me great information to think about. She is super caring. I would definitely go back to working with her in the future. After my call, I found out that she is an amazing attorney based on all the reviews and the publications she was in. Pamela, thank you so much again!

One Sharp Lawyer!!!
Ms. Koslyn, is first and foremost talented in law, within moments of conversing with her, it is clear as day, and her thinking is way ahead of even one's questions. I am still looking to see how to leave more than 5 stars for Pamela, as she is a practitioner of law and superb SKILL! I'm rarely impressed, and she impressed me!

She took my call.
1st, she is the only attorney who gave a comprehensive and clear answer to the Q I posted. Then, she took my call and gave me 15 min of her time. She was straightforward and provided advice I could act on.

Highly Recommended
Very grateful to have found Ms. Koslyn and impressed with legal expertise.  Prompt response and very clear communication of case arguments and legalities.  Demonstrates seasoned knowledge of civil procedures, (even so far as being able to impressively recite specific state codes off the cuff for use in litigation/consultation). She was able to coach me through an extremely multifaceted case-- streamlining my argument into a concise and linear form for presentation to the judge.  She is attuned, considerate, professional, and highly attentive to detail. Her capacity to formulate a strong and clean case presentation for the court, out of an abundance of information, evidence, and narrative is exemplary. Prior to consulting with Pamela, my case was about as messy as was my understanding of it.  I'm incredibly confident with her, and again so grateful.  Truly can't recommend her highly enough. 5stars

Is Ms Koslyn The Real Erin Brockovich? Good and honest people are rare now a days. If You Hired Ms Koslyn Treat Your Angel Right
Ms Koslyn answered my call and without giving legal advice she did get me aware of a common mistake that most people make and she made me aware of how to protect my best interest. All within a window of a few minutes. I know you will read this and i hope all continues to be well for you in sunny California. You are very appreciated and i am very blessed to have been able to speak with you may god bless you for what you do for people in need.

Pamela is sharp and on point. From all the way half across the country, she is willing even to entertain questions from people across the nation living in other states. That's a champ. Thank you, Ms. Koslyn.

What a BRILLIANT mind!
I was served with a summons by debt collectors, Cavalry. My first thought was “oh well, there’s nothing I can do now.” I thought I’d try asking on AVVO and WOAH! Pamela KOSLYN helped me see what this lawsuit could turn into if I didn’t act now. She gave me some frankly easy, achievable action items that can make a HUGE impact. She shared her strategy (or what would work in my case) so freely …i can only imagine what she’ll do for a client! What a powerhouse!

Pamela exceeded my expectations
I am so impressed with Pamela Koslyn. She is very thorough and knowledgable. As a small business owner, I needed some discernment regarding a legal matter. Although she offers a 20 minute consultation, I asked for an hour because I needed to cover each possible outcome. She is so worth it! She helped me stand from a defense approach, rather than an offense approach. The law is tough to understand, and she had the insight/experience to steer me in the right direction. Thank you so much Pamela, you are a gem!
