J Hank Pailet

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.

Where do I start with Hank Pailet. He is without a doubt, the best attorney I have spoke with. From the moment I hired him to the moment we were done with my custody case spanning in about a year and a half, he fought the entire way advocating for me and making sure we did what was right for my daugh...ter. Between having my ex refusing to leave the house, and battling with this whole pandemic, Hank kept me in the loop weekly. He went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared and ready for the battle. Our weekly updates made me feel safe and prepared for what we were doing. Never did he ever give me a doubt in my mind that this would not go our way. Every step he encouraged me and made all the doubt in my mind go away. Hank knows what he is doing, I have complete faith and trust in him and will continue to have him on retainer if anything happens in the future. Although he is a shark and he gets things done fast and efficient. He also is strategic annoying when to go to battle and when to light up just a little bit and prepare for a strike. In an area that predominantly rewards mothers, Hank went up and fights for the dads. I was able to get full custody of my daughter because of him. Every time I would get worked up emotionally not knowing what to do, he would have me take a step back and explain what is going on multiple times till I got it into my head. He is the most personable and helpful attorney I have ever spoke to. If anybody wanted me to describe Hank in 4 words I would have to say: Fearless, Strategic, Shark, Compassionate. If anyone ever needs an attorney to get things done fast and smooth, Hank is definitely your man.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Mr. Hank Pailet. He was instrumental in correcting the failures and mistakes of my previous attorney, and the civil/family court system in both California and Oregon. Mr. Pailet is an honest man of integrity, who is also a straight shooter, who doesn't sugar coat ...your situation. He is very knowledgeable, professional, diligent, driven, and highly experienced. His drafts are well written and accurate. He has great communication skills, and maintains confidentiality. Because of his hard work and diligence, my family is whole, my child is no longer subjected to abuse; they are after many years, in a stable home environment and thriving. I can recommend no attorney higher than Mr. Pailet. God bless you sir, and thank you for all you do!

Hank is, quite simply, an outstanding attorney. He listened carefully, asked questions and was in full command of the facts of my situation so that he could effectively represent me. He helped me understand the process at every step and truly cared about the outcome of my case. He advocated for my ri...ghts and for the rights of my child and was focused and determined, which helped to keep me focused and determined, as well. I'm extremely grateful to him for his thoughtful representation and I would hire Hank again without reservation.
