Custody modification

I had an extremely difficult child custody modification that I needed handled. I contacted Paul and set up an appointment. He was empathetic with my situation, asked for paperwork, the facts and what I wanted. He told me exactly what to expect and what henneeded from me. I have Paul my trust and let ...him handle the case without bugging him. It paid off, Paul got me exactly what I wanted. Let me be clear.... Paul got me exactly what I wanted. There was NO secretary or paralegal handling any part of my case. It was all Paul. To me that speaks volumes of the quality of his service. I'm proud that I hired Paul Sherman and if I ever need an attorney for anything else, I'm calling Paul.

I came to Paul F

I came to Paul F. Sherman to establish paternity for my son. My ex would not allow me visitation and was abusive to my boy. Mr. Sherman got me parenting time immediately and was able to get me custody of my child. I am still amazed. My son is doing so well now and we are a happy family again. Hir...e Paul F. Sherman for your family law matter. He is the best family law attorney in town. I give him my highest recommendation.

Professional misconduct

Reprimand issued in OR, 2019
