Paula Ann Phinney

In the deepest despair of my divorce, the shining light of legal reason was Paula Phinney and her legal assistant Raquel. They never told me what I wanted to hear, they told me what the law was. If you want competent legal advice and a legal lion in court representing you, I recommend Paula Phinney a...nd her team.

Paula took my case in an early time when it was very difficult with lots of chaotic disputes. Litigation was made unnecessarily tough and the opposing party makes issues on tiny or irrelevant things, which is typical in high conflict cases. Paula provided strong defense yet still opens the door for c...ooperation. She fought effectively against those unreasonable demands, protected client's core legitimate interests, while providing paths for the case to resolve with reasonable outcomes. This is what the court really likes to see. There are attorneys who encourage clients to worsen the conflicts or even lie to the court. Paula fights for clients with courage and honesty, and the judge can clear identify that. There are also attorneys who appear strong in court but lack true interest in knowing the client's needs. Paula understands the case to every detail and is extraordinary in being accessible.

Attorney took on my complicated case with previous knowledge of my case, after being loaded with information with case and prepared trail brief, stumbled in preparing tenacious defense and questions to the opposing party. unable to handle objections or to propose consistent and valid objections to o...pposing party. She can look "novice" in front of judge and wont command control in trial situation against strong experienced attorney, easy target for opposing counsel. It may work good for Amicable situations. Wont recommend for litigation.
