Paul Seligmann Referral

There is nothing to say about Paul that is anything less than exceptional. I work in the legal field and it was easy to recognize Paul's abilities, skills, and knowledge of what was needed for me to achieve my needs. He is meticulous, objective, thorough and extremely thoughtful. Thanks to his won...derful and meticulous efforts, my kitties are both home with me safe, sound and very happy!

Compelled to Win

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.

Excellent Attorney - Highly Recommend

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.

Loved by his clients, feared by his adversaries.

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.

Rating of Paul Seligmann

Paul is an amazing lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable of the law. He is very detail oriented and thinks thru the case and the issues making sure the legal strategies and tactics are sound. He takes the time to understand the clients story, issues, etc. He goes out of his way to explain the leg...al aspects of the case and have the client understand the issues before decisions are made. Paul has excellent writing skills in preparing briefs. He is also very skilled at trial presenting our case while blunting the other side's case. Paul is the best i have dealt with and would unhesitatingly use him again.
