Paul Frederick Seligmann

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!

Paul is completely full service, and was probably the most valuable decision i made in the months before and after the seperation. I sought him out based on personal reference. Paul immediately turned the tide. It went from the opposing party bullying me to one where things were able to be drawn to a... close, avoiding trial which my Ex was pushing for. At no time was I surprised by a bill or an action. Paul is amazing in simplifying arguments to what matters and giving the courts needed insight. There was a previous review on here about his gravitas in and out of the courtroom. It is not to be underestimated. Reading his reviews, you'll see some trends and consistencies that are still relevant. some examples: - set and elegantly executed a powerful strategy. - collaboration on important documents is invaluable. - Acts appropriately for the situation. Can be aggressive when needed. - his negotiating skills top notch, - Is informative and objective, will not act without your being informed. - Was able to delegate tasks to me to save money The above are all true, and you'll read them again and again. What i haven't seen mentioned in his reviews is one of his most effective weapons - coaching clients through the roughest times of their lives. From writing letters, to what to disclose, to laser precise feedback in posture, tone, and wording, i came away with far better skills when dealing with adversarial people. He trained me to put more of my head and less of my heart in situations that cause powerful, emotional reactions in everyone, but can literally cost a person their estate if they do. Not just basic guidelines, but *every* facet of interaction. I watch acquaintances and friends go through divorces- even amicable ones, and make so many costly mistakes that i was personally trained not to make. That my ex didn't have this training literally let her bolster our cause. Although expensive, Paul is worth every dime. I would recommend in a heart-beat.

Paul has been my family law attorney for the past 7 years, he handled my divorce for me and has handled all the post divorce issues that have come up since then. He is great at keeping me informed of all that is going on legally, he pays attention to detail, incredibly thorough, he was upfront and h...onest with me in every aspect. Paul is articulate in court and in all the documents he helps prepare. He would always walk me thru the pros and the cons of the situation i was in and would help me come up with the best cost effective course of action to handle the situation. He would listen to me and respect my opinion if it differed from his, but most importantly, i felt he always put the needs of my kids first and what was in their best interest.
