Paul Frederick Seligmann

I switched to Paul from my first lawyer because Paul really caught my attention with the thoughtfulness of his initial questions. He cut to the core of what I should be thinking about through this new, painful, and high stakes process. My divorce was complicated and contentious but Paul has decades o...f experience and managed this well, he brought in the right experts, was an amazing sounding board and was flexible in how he worked with me. Paul isn’t the cheapest lawyer but he’s great and you get what you pay for in this process. At the end I consider Paul a friend as well as a great lawyer.

I would highly recommend Paul for divorce proceedings and related family law. He was careful in how he approached each step in the process surrounding my divorce to try to build rapport with the opposing council while ensuring I was protected and receiving the best outcome possible. Paul's wisdom i...s priceless - he helped me with the outcome I desired (and with what my children needed) while providing insights and information so that I could be involved in the decisions. He maintains regular communication and is very accessible. Paul is extremely thorough - and you do pay for this level of detail. He does not use paralegals, so his work can add up quickly. He is very honest about his billing and forthcoming about the projections on his costs. I would highly recommend Paul if you have a complicated case, a situation where you have a lot at stake, or you desire more support and detail throughout your process.

Paul represented me in my divorce. He is plugged into the community of divorce attorneys and offered insights into what we were up against. This alone added significant value to the final outcome. Paul is personable, respectful, speaks in plain English, and was diligent in providing me copies of all ...communications between the parties. We had issues of unvested stock awards, not inconsequential property, plus children, and i found Paul to be a great counsel on all of these aspects. I would be pleased to recommend Paul to my friends.

When I realized my marriage was unsustainable, I was referred to Paul from someone who had a great outcome during a similarly-difficult time. From our first meeting, it was apparent that Paul was going to be more than a reservoir of law facts. Attorney, therapist, coach, editor, Paul always kept the ...cardinal issues in focus. It's easy to tell a client what they may want to hear or sugar-coat less pleasant news. Paul was always very candid and realistic, but offered both strategies and tactics that ultimately made a potentially horrendous situation much less so. Emotions can jeopardize a favorable settlement. Paul's demeanor and practice standard can perhaps best be summarized by the dictum: "Don't get mad, don't get even, get what you want." I consider myself very fortunate to have met and worked with Paul during a critical period in the dissolution of my marriage. I feel even more fortunate that I never needed his (very favorably-reviewed) services in the court room!

Last February, I received a child support adjustment motion filed by my ex-wife that seemed unfair. I knew right away from the content of the papers served me that I couldn’t negotiate these waters without legal counsel. Although Mr. Seligmann was the third attorney that I contacted, I could tell f...rom our initial phone call that Mr. Seligmann was the right attorney for me. He took time to listen and explain what my options were. This was before we ever met face-to-face. From our first meeting up until the time the case was settled (in my favor, by the way!), Paul kept me notified of any motions or responses that were required. He was extremely responsive to me both via phone or email correspondence. The written materials were prepared expeditiously and with little need for corrections. I attended two court hearings with Mr. Seligmann. It was quite evident from the proceedings that Paul had prepared and rehearsed his arguments. On both occasions the hearings went smoothly and in our favor. Paul knows the law extremely well. He made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable setting (court) While many attorneys cannot guarantee what the court may decide, Mr. Seligmann made it very clear to me what the pros and cons of each decision were. His guidance along the way helped me make well informed and logical decisions. Paul provided clarity to the situation I was dealing with. Working with Paul Seligmann was a great experience. He is thoughtful, professional, confident, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with child support, family law and divorce cases. Thank you, Paul!
