This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

HORRIBLE

My husband is currently incarcerated at Pierce County Jail on robbery in the first. The suppose victim recanted his statment several times that there was no weapon and my husband wants to fight this because he also didn't rob this person. My husband requsted for a knapstad order to be put in which sh...e did, but then refused to request a court date. This attorney would belittle and degrade my husband after several failed attempts to contact her and she wouldn't pick up the phone for me. She has very poor communication skills. She always seemed unprepared and unorganized. My husband had to go through his own case to point things out that didn't mach up. Lucky for me I was able to fire her and pay for a differentattorney. If you have someone who is in the jail, have them look her up in the library and you will see that she has been fired before by different defendants due to the same similarities that I'm going through. She also does a lot of plead deals and doesn't fight for you. She want's the money, but doesn't want to do the work or effort.

Professional and Trustworthy- She gets the job done.

Paula helped my husband and I change jurisdiction of a custody case which was almost impossible to do but she made it happen and we held on to custody of our son who is 18 years old and doing great now!
