Highly Recommend Paula and her staff

Paula Kleinman has aided and guided me through various family law issues, filing new motions, and advocating in court on my behalf. She has been attentive to my questions, prompt to response and accessible via phone, text and email. Extremely knowledgeable and organized. Her staff are a pleasure to i...nteract with. I recommend giving Paula Kleinman the opportunity to look over your case and trust she will represent you to the best of her abilities as she has demonstrated first hand in my case.

5 Star Lawyer

Paula helped me get all the right documents I needed to get a divorce and get full custody of my child. She appeared at court and handled the situation very well and was prepared and organized. If I didn't understand something she would step by step explain it to me. Paula kept me informed so I never... had to worry. At the end of it all I got my divorce and I got full custody of my child.

Very happy client

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Paula Kleinman. I retained Paula after my miserable and costly experience with a previous attorney. She worked zealously on my case. Paula was compassionate and easy to talk to when discussing my case and the actions that needed to be taken. Her staff was plea...sant and would bend over backwards to make me comfortable and knowledgeable on what was going on with my case. It is hard to find an understanding attorney who will take the time to know you on a personal level. I had a very litigious divorce case, but Paula handled it gracefully and with sensible attorney’s fees. From the research I did prior to hiring Paula, her rates are very reasonable and her services worthwhile. I am shocked to see that other clients had a terrible experience with Paula. I would recommend Paula to anyone and everyone, as she is a marvelous attorney who knows the law, and works diligently around the clock to achieve success.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Paula is an outstanding attorney. She is a lamb when she needs to be, but knows how to be a pit bull when she has to be. She fights for her clients and is well versed in the law. When she comes up against a tough opponent - she does not wither, but instead gets stronger. She is always prepared and up on the latest legal doctrines. I give Paula a "two thumbs" up."
