Aesthetics don't dissapoint
This attorney was 18b and was awful. He ended up converting to the plaintiffs attitude toward me, perhaps influenced by the false allegations. My personal exoerience leads me to believe he does not have integrity. He told me of a joke he and the forensic consult had about the thing that was written ...
This is why I am no longer taking court appointed cases. Assuming that I did represent this anonymous reviewer, I have no idea what he is talking about. Attorneys are not allowed to discuss open cases with forensic psychologists. Unfortunately a small percentage of court appointed clients have difficult or even hopeless cases and when they lose the only person they can find to blame is their lawyer. One of the biggest problem about taking court appointed work is that the clients don't choose you so tend to not trust you, while you don't get to choose or screen them and sometimes have to take clients with various mental health issues that make it difficult to build any kind of trust
"I endorse this lawyer. Paul and I settled an extremely complicated custody matter. We each had particular clients that had their own wants, regarding access to their child. However, working together we were able to put together a fair and equitable settlement that worked for each of our clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Paul Matthews on several complicated family law cases. I have always found him to be very professional and prepared. He is also very knowledgeable in the area of family law."
