Posted by Todd | January 29, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Nothing was “Sugar Coated”.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michelle Paul was nothing was "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce process from start to finish, Michelle kept me informed of each step and what the options w...ere and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Even though I filed for divorce, 6 months I later had a change of heart and decided to have Michelle stop the paperwork, and the court appearance. Michelle was very supportive of my decision and worked quickly with my wives councilor to resolve all issues. Todd, Retired Navy

Highly Recommended

Michelle handled a medical case for me. She took over as my attorney over a year after the lawsuit was filed. (The prior attorney did not appear to be concerned with my case and had no communication with me.) Michelle quickly became conversant with my case and all the background information. Aft...er she had discussions with the opposing counsel, she determined that trying to reach a settlement would be the best course of action. Accordingly, we went through alternative dispute resolution. Michelle fully discussed the pros and cons of my case and the position of the defendant as well as making sure I was prepared for the dispute resolution process. When we met with the arbitrator, she was a strong advocate for my position. The process is stressful but she was calm and professional and made it easier for me to deal with the process. A settlement was reached with the best possible result for me and it was because Michelle argued my case so well and always kept my best interests in mind. She guided me through the process of taking care of the settlement papers. After Michelle received the funds, she throughly explained the expenses that were outstanding and ensured that all liabilities were paid before my check was issued. Later, when a government agency contacted me regarding possible amounts due to them for medical expense reimbursement, Michelle handled the matter and made sure the agency straightened out their records. The lawsuit was a very stressful situation for me, but her handling of the case made the process easier to deal with. Michelle Paul is highly professional and ethical, she cares about her clients, puts their interests first and keeps them fully informed. I highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
