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.

STAY AWAY

Paul Fromson and his office staff typifies the stereotype of the corrupt and deceptive lawyer. I hired him to settle a high conflict custody matter. His mishandling of my case and his inability and/or negligence nearly cost me custody of my child. He consistently failed to communicate with me about t...he progress, or lack therof, of my case. I basically did his job for him. I had to have the DA's office file my case because he didn't and I had to monitor the court calendar so I woukd know when to show up. Fortunately, by the time he started threatening to quit my case I had already found a new lawyer and fired Fromson. I managed to get sole custody in spite of him not because of him. Do not walk away from this lawyer, RUN.

Superman in a suit!!!!

Lampe and Fromson is an attentive, discreet, powerful law office. Mr. Fromson is beyond proficient with a strong establishment of experience. He is accessible day or night and will discuss any concern sincerely with you. Lampe and Fromson not only won my child custody case, but went above and beyond ...to ensure my child receives the support that is deserved. Mr. Fromson will battle for you paying little heed to the "status" of your adversary or their threats. Moreover, his group is unbelievable...silent, yet dangerous rings a bell. I wish I would have searched him out from the very beginning of my divorce!!! Lampe & Fromson is worth every penny and more.

Very Satisfied

Paul was excellent in my case. When I approached Paul back in January with a very unique child custody case he didn't hesitate to take it on. He made me feel very confident in the process that everything would work out in my favor. Paul does charge for his services all upfront which makes for a larg...e retainer fee but it saves in the long run. I can’t tell you the countless hours of conversation and time both Paul and Gina (his paralegal) put into my case. He stays in constant communication and returns every call. I would highly recommend his services.
