J Hank Pailet

Hank made something as sensitive and difficult as a divorce an easy and straight forward process. He listened to me, gave me honest and fair advice, and advocated for me throughout the whole process. Hank had my best interest at heart and this was evident from the beginning. I wholeheartedly trust Ha...nk, and would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. Hank constantly provided updates, and answered any questions I had happily. He was very easy to contact and hear back from promptly. Hank fights for his clients and handles your case efficiently. If I had to do my divorce process over again; the only thing I would change is reaching out to Hank sooner.

I would suggest looking elsewhere! There are plenty of other GOOD attorneys out there. This is not one of them. Hired his services, and did nothing but put me in a hole of 5 mo. Couldn't remember my file, then charges you to re-review and consult. Never requested the Discovery from opposing counse...l in 5mo time. Never special set our hearing, since most if not all divorces take 5hrs to litigate. So left this as an assigned trial which could and would be a continued roller-coaster of delays even getting a judge scheduled for 5 hrs in Multnomah County. Never relayed any information that should have been given to opposing counsel, asked if I was seeking retribution for being upset based on the opposing counsel parenting plan (very limited access to kids for no reason) which any judge would deny (verified this with another attorney) and then up and quit the firm at Goldberg Jones. Asking if I want to retain and asked for an addition $10K retainer. Ha! If you want to be dug into a hole than what is already a bad situation, then Hank is for you.

Hank without a doubt search the bar when it comes to being an advocate for fathers and men. My custody battle took two years due to the courts jerking us around. Hank never quit and fought tirelessly to and sure I got what I wanted. After a year and a half my ex finally signed over what I wanted, but... when the courts decided to sit on the paperwork for almost a year they came back saying signatures were too old and we had to go to court. Then my ex refused to sign the papers. He never stopped fighting and standing up for me with the courts along with my ex. Every step of the way he had open communication with me, kept me in the loop every second, and when my head was spinning and stressing me out he always calmed me down and made sure I was thinking straight. Hank doesn’t treat you like a client, you’re not just a number to him, he treats you like a friend. He looks out for you to make sure you are protected and make sure you are doing good. If you’re looking for an attorney who is a bulldog, someone that will be extremely aggressive and get what you want, Hank is by far the one you want.

I had been through some difficult, confusing and painful years after losing legal custody of my child. I needed help to get custody back and bring stability to my child’s life, and Hank Pailet came to the rescue. He had my case under control from the moment he took it on. Hank communicated honestly... and compassionately, prioritizing my child’s wellbeing and focusing on the aspects of the case necessary to secure a successful outcome. I HIGHLY recommend this attorney to anyone seeking help with custody or any family law matter.
