Paul Matthew Graziano

Paul is AMAZING! You cannot go wrong hiring him for your family law issues. He took the time to help me navigate this difficult time. always responding, providing incredible advice, and actually cares about his clients. His paralegal Rachel is also amazing! She responds immediately and makes sure to ...help you with the process and answer all of your questions. If I could go above 5 stars I would! So much better than the big firms in my opinion! Hire him you will not regret it!

Paul was a professional, thorough, and effective attorney. I had a multi-year, very complex divorce process. Almost everything that could have happened did, complete with contested child support payments, alimony, custody rights, division of assets settlement, mediation, depositions, and eventually... hearings/litigation and a CA 730 evaluation. Throughout the stressful process, Paul and his colleagues carefully guided me through the relevant aspects of CA family law, what I needed to do and not do, and prepared me for success. Paul was particularly good at attention to detail and to ensure that all the required documents were prepared on time and in manner that the judge needed. Paul was also very cost conscious, helping me to minimize costs by gathering all the background material, evidence necessary and then formatting it for success. Paul was also regularly reachable. Unlike other family law attorneys who either do not use (or know how) to use email and return calls on a timely manner, Paul quickly replied to me particularly during a few urgent issues that arose related with my ex actions. Ultimately I had a good outcome on all matters related to my divorce. There were times we disagreed on approach and strategy, but ultimately he allowed me for my voice and desires to be heard in a way that would be effective in the court process. He also was a good human being and tried hard to reach out to opposing counsel to see is settlement was possible. I really felt he cared about me, my kids welfare, and getting to an end quickly and not just about getting fees from me. Speaking with my friends, I have found this rare. Overall a very strong and positive endorsement. I have referred both female and male friends who are going through a divorce to Paul. I have posted my name anonymously but am happy to speak to you if you want me if you want me to provide a direct reference.

Paul was an outstanding listener and always had my best interests in mind. Not only have I used him before for my divorce but now 6 years later I needed his expertise again for another child custody battle because I moved out of county. I know for a fact he saved me a lot of money that most attorneys... would have not done. He gave me honest advice and advised me on the things most important to my case and told me the truth on when to fold on issues that I would have lost , saving me from endless attorney fees keeping my cost down . Not only did I win my custody battle but we also went into my ex's income since it had been 6 years since we divorced. Not only did I get to live out of county but I also receive 600 more a month for child support because my ex husband's income had nearly doubled since our divorce . He also had to pay half my attorney fees which was fantastic! I really like Paul's personality and feel really comfortable with him on my side. He was sensitive to my needs but also not jaded and really cares about his clients. I recommend him and his services very highly . I am very familiar with the legal system and he is so worth every penny I spent. I walked away from war feeling completely assured that my sons father will never be able to threaten me again. Peace of mind is priceless when raising a child . He made it possible for me to focus on being a great mom instead of worrying about court.
