Complete waste of time and money

I hired Paige in 2016. She made a ton of promises, and made me feel better. After I hired her and paid her retainer, she waited months to file anything with the court. Fast forward to 2019 when I finally fired her. In those 3 years nothing got accomplished, our case was constantly continued for a myr...iad of reasons. Her office staff, and especially her paralegal Kelly, are just as worthless as she is. No one returns calls, no one returns emails, and you're left hanging. Her office was excellent though at calling and demanding more money, saying they need it in the next 7 days, or they'll file a substitution of attorney form with the court (her office firing you as a client), and also threatening to not show up in court. I spent well over $20k on her services, and got absolutely nothing in return. If you're thinking Paige will really help you, and get some resolution in your case, think again. She makes great big promises that she knows she has zero intention of keeping.

Sad Grandma

I had a Grandparent rights case with Paige. I pd $7,500. Our case took over 1yr. There was no testimony given during this time. I tried numerous times to contact Paige without success. She cancelled phone conferences that had been set. She was a noshow at her office conference.(Bakersfield is a ...2oo mi trip for me), She canceled at least 3 court dates to personal reasons (dentist etc.) I felt very under represented.

Professional, Dependable, No nonsense, Gets results!!

Glad I didn't waste time trying anyone else first. Paige has been a complete bulldog in the courtroom and nothing but professional in handling my case. Being a man, especially in this state, I never imagined so much would go my way in terms of child support and custody. I am always notified in adva...nce of my next hearing and my case has never been continued for anything other than legitimate court related reasons. I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me and my case. Don't waste time, get her in your corner ASAP!!

Busy for a reason

Paige and her whole office have been wonderful! Ive been going through a nasty divorce for the last 2 years and Paige has done a great job for me. She is very good as well as her paralegal. The only slight complaint i have is that she is very busy. During court hearings its not uncommon for her t...o have 10-15 other matters on the same day so be prepaired to be patient. But thats not too bad of a thing because if she is billing her time across 12 clients in a day your not going to be charged as much :)
