Paul Jay Walchenbach

I interviewed three attorneys before selecting Paul Walchenbach. During the consult interview he was thoughtful and meticulous about explaining the process and how best navigate through a divorce without racking up frivolous legal costs. It was clear he was not taking the blood thirsty path as the ...other attorneys I had interviewed appeared to have wanted to, but articulated he had my best interest in mind. To say that I handed Mr. Walchenbach a case resembling a lemon is an understatement however he managed to make lemonade and the end result was the best possible outcome. This was similar to watching a bad reality TV show in that I was blindsided by not only my spouse suddenly leaving the marriage but as time went on discovering things that were so well hidden during the marriage. What should have been 90 days and done took almost a year and turned out to include addictive, narcissistic, sociopathic behavior and abuse from my ex. I would venture say that even with 30 years of experience that there were a few “first time events” which Paul handled with utmost professionalism. He was honest, compassionate and provided realistic expectations. This was much more difficult than it should have been and Paul stayed even keeled and patent throughout. Based on my experience my advice to anyone who is “shopping” for an attorney for whatever reason is to keep in mind you are looking for a subject matter expert to team with and guide you through the legal process. Clients are responsible to stay engaged and understand the steps along the way regardless how hard that can be. I am grateful for the way Paul and his staff handled my divorce and highly recommend his services.

I would absolutely recommend Paul. I met Paul three years ago. He has represented me in a custody case involving my daughter. From the very beginning, Paul showed me the respect that I didn't think I deserved at that time. He was kind, committed and most of all honest with me. Phone calls were a...lways returned in a timely matter. He and Linda both took time to explain things to me. Best of all, I have been extremely please with the outcome of my custody battle. I cannot thank Paul and Linda enough for what they have done for me and my family.

Paul was recommended to me by a "friend of a friend". He was the fourth (and last) attorney I used during my divorce case which had been pretty badly screwed up by the previous attorneys. Paul gave me expert advice and provided skilled guidance while allowing me to make my own decisions to settle the... case. He speaks in layman's terms and explains the legal terms clearly and without prejudice. Response time was typically less than a day for any questions I had, and sometimes within the hour. This guy knows how to use technology to his advantage ... and mine. His legal assistant Linda is wonderful and friendly to work with as well. I give them an A+. Thanks Paul & Linda.
