Compassionate

I contacted Pamela to help my son with his custody agreement two years ago. She was so kind throughout helping him to figure out not only what he needed but what was reasonable to ask for. She was down to earth and non-judgmental. She has a gift.

Paralegal Student Looking for Help

I am a student who needed help with a homework assignment. And, even though this was most likely not the correct site for me to ask questions about the daily practices of a law firm Pamela took the time out of her day to explain in detail how everything works. She spoke a great deal about how clients needs come first and how she meets them from the beginning and gets really good knowledge about their cases so that she is not unprepared. From a student prospective I really admire a person who is an attorney and is really busy that will help someone with what they can. Thank you so much for your help today. It is greatly appreciated.
