The Best Around!

After hiring 2 previous lawyers for representation and unhappy with how they coward to my ex's attorneys, I decided to approach Mr. Fromson. He was straight forward from the get-go about what it was going to take to get what I wanted. You do what this guy recommends and you will get results guarantee...d. I would highly recommend Mr. Fromson to anyone! ...except my ex :)

Very Satisfied

Paul Fromson is extremely straightforward, confident, and passionate in the courtroom. While needing a lawyer is never a good experience to begin with Paul’s confidence definitely helped my family when dealing with our case. While Paul is so far one of the best lawyers I have ever encountered in my... entire life I can't give him all the credit because his staff is definitely a force to be recon with. All I can really say is that I am eternally grateful for everything this Firm has done for me and my family plain and simple.

Best Lawyer hands down

My husband and I have utilized Paul's services on three different occasions and have been extremely satisfied. Paul and his staff are very knowledgeable he is straight forward and tells you the truth and not what you want to hear. He's tough, fights hard for his clients, and really cares about them.... I would highly recommend Paul.

The King of the Divorce Ring

Paul has been amazing! I've been going through an extremely difficult divorce due to spouse constantly misrepresenting facts, hiding assets, and secretly funneling tens of thousands of dollars to her kids and who knows what else to try and convince the court that she had no income in the hopes getti...ng $3,000 per month in temporary support. Paul destroyed her at my first court appearance, and she then offered to stipulate to $500 per month. Later, she made several requests to increase the amount she wanted to stipulate too because she got fired from her job and claimed she couldn't find suitable employment. At the hearing on her motion for increased support, Paul exposed her sham efforts by showing that most of her applications were to the SAME EMPLOYER WHO FIRED HER! Also, he provided the court with almost three dozen current opening with public entities in Merced and surrounding counties that paid as much or more than she had been making and got her to admit that she'd applied for none of those positions. The bottom line is that every request she's made has either been denied, although the court did temporarily increase her support twice. However, as Paul kept digging into her financials, she eventually agreed to waive any more temporary support. The guy is AWESOME!! If you're dealing with a deceitful, unreasonable spouse, you better hire Paul Fromson. Seriously. I would've been screwed without him.

Be Careful

I hired Mr Fromson to revisit a child custody matter. I had to have a third party serve my ex husband the papers for mediation because he said he was not able to do so.. He did not prepare for mediation because he did not believe me that my ex had been served. Only the day before our scheduled court ...date did he call me in to meet with him. In the nine months he worked for me I only received one billing statement though he continued to ask for more money. He collected over $20,000 for only one (nearly mussed) court appearance. Take time to interview him carefully.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Paul for many years. He is an energetic, kind and smart lawyer. Paul's enthusiastic support for positively assisting clients in the divorce transition, together with his deep knowledge of the law and his extensive courtroom experience make him a solid advocate. He is thoughtful, compassionate and a zealous representative. However, he is able to reach a negotiated settlement when there is a settlement to be had. I strongly endorse Paul as a colleague and excellent human being."
