Review for Paul Metzger
Paul Metzger from the very first phone call provided information and did research on my case. He was available and easy to talk with. What I appreciated the most is that he took the time to explain to me the facts of the case and was accessible when I needed to speak with him. He is also very knowled...

Thanks So Much Paul!
I hope that one never finds themselves in a situation where you are facing false allegations from DCFS or Juvenile Court. It is an outright terrifying thought that your right’s as a parent may be in jeopardy, and an even more terrifying thought that the wellbeing of your child may also be in jeopard...

I was referred to Mr. Paul Metzger through my criminal defense attorney in the wake of my complicated, lengthy, and stressful situation that involved DCFS. They were very aggressive and threatened to take my children away. My situation required immediate decision and action, and thanks to Paul and hi...

Awesome attorney
Dealing with the DCFS and a child dependency case is very difficult and complicated. After my daughter was unjustly removed from our home I felt alone and frustrated. Paul was able to guide me through and show me the bigger picture so I could focus on what I needed to do to get my daughter back. ...
"I endorse this lawyer. Paul is a skilled and knowledgeable attorney. Moreover, he has a great demeanor and is unflappable in the court room."
"Paul is a strong and tireless advocate for his clients, and knows his way around a courtroom. He is well respected by judges and attorneys for his experience, skill, and tenacity. I unequivocally endorse him."
"I have known Paul Metzger for almost 15 years. I have worked with and against him on numerous cases over the years. He is a strong advocate who will work tirelessly for his clients. His combination of intelligence and aggressive representation is hard to beat."
"I was the opposing counsel against Mr. Metzger in a juvenile dependency case that involved several complicated issues. Mr. Metzger is one of the few private juvenile dependency lawyers in Los Angeles County that understands the dependency laws and how to effectively advocate for his clients. Dependency court is very specialized and takes a well trained lawyer to handle properly. Mr. Metzger understands how social workers, judges, and minor's attorneys make decisions, which is essential to winning results. If you are looking for a juvenile dependency attorney to fight DCFS and the foster care system, you better call Paul!"
"I've known Paul Metzger and the very high quality of his legal work for over 20 years. He is, quite simply, an outstanding advocate and the juvenile dependency attorney I would call if I needed one. He is quickly able to grasp and evaluate even very complex issues, and then devise the most effective way forward. He is unrelenting when he determines that fighting an issue is the best path. And he is a top-notch trial attorney with vast experience and polished courtroom skills. He is also a fantastic negotiator and as a result of his trial and negotiation skills has been able to resolve cases -- ones that other attorneys likely wouldn't even want to handle -- very favorably. Paul genuinely cares about his clients and their dilemmas. He doesn't have staff talking to his clients -- he communicates directly. So if you want the best juvenile dependency attorney out there, I say choose Paul."
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Mr. Metzger in court and I really enjoyed working through the issues with him. He is a tough advocate but he is reasonable, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him."
