Paul Frederick Seligmann

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.

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 was recommended to me by my estate attorney to help me handle my divorce. It was a new and complex process with a large number of assets, a family business, and children involved. Paul helped me navigate it every step of the way and I was extremely happy with the results. Paul’s personal advice ...throughout the process was very helpful, and his legal advice was always sound. Over the past few years, I have called on Paul more than once to help me with continuing family law issues, and he has never let me down. Paul is personable and friendly, and I was impressed by how warmly he was greeted by judges and commissioners in the hallways of the King County Courthouse. Opposing counsel also greets Paul warmly, but with the kind of respect that indicates that they maintain a healthy fear of him. They know who he is, they know how competent he is, and they know that if they make a mistake that Paul won’t miss it. He’s the kind of attorney you hate to see sitting on the other side of the table. I am also impressed by Paul’s ethics. In my business dealings, I’ve encountered more than a few of the types of attorneys for whom “lawyer jokes” are made famous. Paul, however, is not one of them. He never has to bluff or play dirty to get a good result. He understands the law well enough that he doesn’t need tricks to excel at his job. In summary, I have no hesitation recommending Paul Seligmann to anyone who needs a competent, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and responsive attorney. If he’s on your side of the table, you should be happy. If he’s on the other side, you should be concerned.
