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.

Paul is the best attorney ever!!!

He worked with my friend to get his divorce. I was handling the paperwork portion for my friend, so the three of us worked together. Paul is just awesome!!! He truly cares about people and their situation and does a fantastic job of understanding all the details. He takes time to explain the lega...l portion of the situation, and will answer all of your questions. His paralegal, Laura Sulik, works with him. They are an excellent team! I will recommend him to everyone I know. I will use him for any legal work I have in the future.

Brilliant mind and incredible heart!

I can't even count the number of people I have recommended to Paul and his team, and they all have told me Paul was the best thing that happened to them during their hard time. This man is an incredibly brilliant attorney and a wonderful human being as well. Think Paul, think integrity. There w...as nothing as hard as fighting to keep my daughter safe when my ex and I split. I was heartbroken and mad and was losing everything. I didn't know who to trust and if I didn't pick well my daughter life would be in jeopardy. When I met Paul I felt comforted and safe and knew that everything was going to be alright. He had my child's and my best interest at heart, his advice was sound, he kept me from making costly mistakes, his staff was top rate and I always felt like I had the winning team walking into court. As far as I am concerned he is the full package of heart and empathy to his clients and master mind lawyer in court. Because of Paul and his team I was able to make sure my daughter grew up happy and healthy! Do I sound like a raving fan!! Why yes I am. Call them today, you will never make a better move when it comes to getting what you and your family deserve.

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.
