Extremely Supportive, Honest, Professional & Creative! Call Paul!

I called Paul as I had separated from my daughter's father and after a year and a half we still weren't seeing eye to eye on anything. With my daughter's best interest at heart, Paul walked me through creating a parenting plan. He had some very creative solutions on how we could split the time with o...ur daughter so that she could attend all important family functions and holiday traditions. After our first court date, my daughter's father realized that he was not going to get everything that he was unrealistically asking for. Paul walked me through how to talk with him to try to come up with a compromise (to save us money and time). It worked and my daughter's father and I were able to come up with a compromise that worked best for our daughter. We were easily able to wrap up our case and move forward. Paul was extremely professional and supportive throughout the entire process. He was easy to get a hold of and returned all of my phone calls extremely quickly. He was open and honest to me about the process so that I didn't encounter any surprises. I know that Paul was handling multiple cases at the same time, but I always felt like I was the highest priority when I had a question or concern. I hope that I never have to go to family court again, but if I do, I will be calling Paul as I want him on my side!

GOT ME WHAT I DID NOT DESERVE...and MORE

Girls if you want a lawyer that will not only get you the money you need from your "ex," he'll also help to get you money that you do not deserve. He helped me to financially devastate my "ex" and he got, and showed me how to keep, over $60,000 in overcharges made by my "ex." It turned out to be a gr...eat retirement fund, as my "ex" had no money to hire an attorney to change the original court order for child support. He'll have to pay this for the rest of his life....HA! If you want a lawyer who is only interested in winning all he can, at whatever the cost, give him a call.

Appreciation for the lawyer who got me through a tough time

Paul Reni was actually recommended to me by another lawyer who had been up against him in another case. He was impressed by Mr. Reni and felt he could do a good job representing me through my divorce. It is not an easy thing nor a quick process, but I felt Paul has found a great combination of profes...sionalism and empathy. He takes his job to heart, and I consider him a guardian angel.

The best

Mine was a complex divorce after many years of marriage. Mr. Reni’s compassionate, professional, and calm manner was always reassuring and his sense of humor appreciated. He kept me informed and involved in every step of the process, answered any and all questions promptly through phone or e-mail a...nd used mediation as an effective tool in the end. Paul and Laura, his paralegal, always made me feel like I was their favorite client. I found his integrity unquestionable, his knowledge thorough, and his years of experience a real asset. I highly recommend him as someone who will listen to your concerns and fight for your interests.

Paul is Super!

I would highly recommend Paul for any one seeking legal assistance. If it's an area in which he lacks expertise, he'll be the first to tell you. In my case, he helped me navigate a financially difficult separation and divorce over a 2 year period. He was the first to tell me if my logic was unsound, ...and offer alternative courses of action as we sought to finalize the divorce. He is also fun to work with and that's always helpful in difficult situations. Paul is straightforward, trust worthy, very responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. You can't do better!
