Paul Ylvisaker

I write this review as a Retired Army Sergeant First Class, "Wounded Warrior." First, I did not hire Attorney Ylvisaker, my spouse did. I'm writing this review as my ex-spouse's opposing representation. This 5 star review may come off as "strange" from the opposition during a divorce case. Al...though, as a former Army Senior Non Commissioned Officer/War Veteran, my vigilance caught many positive attributes with this man. Attorney Ylvisaker is an excellent lawyer, and also holds the military values that were instilled into him with high regard. Attorney Ylvisaker knows what "right looks like." My spouse stated many false accusations of me, that were proven unsubstantiated. Irregardless, Attorney Ylvisaker put up a good argument. During the "discovery phase" of my former spouse's and my litigation, Mr. Ylvisaker learned the whole truth, and help convince my ex-spouse to come to a mutual agreement, in which we did. Irregardless of the outcome, Attorney Ylvisaker accomplished something I could not for years, he convinced my former spouse to get mental health counselling. For that, I am truly greatful. It may seem strange after everything that was said and done; in the end, I still care about my ex-wife. The future of my children's, my ex-spouse, & I now looks brighter. Even being Attorney Ylvisaker's opposition, I respect this man's integrity and values. My advise to those who hire Attorney Ylvisaker, tell him the whole truth. Do not make unsubstantiated accusations out of spite. He will put up an honorable argument on your behalf. Attorney Ylvisaker, I know we couldn't speak to one another, being your opposition, and having obtained my own legal counsel but, I truly thank you for helping my spouse towards getting the help she needed. We are on good terms now, and has taking a positive roll towards co-parenting our children with me. One day, I'd like to shake your hand.

Paul is a great lawyer that provided a service that felt was only available for high end clients. He does not have employees or legal assistants, so you work directly with him on everything. He answers your calls and quickly replies your messages; there is no one else involved or in between your c...ommunications or the process. It is a very gratifying feeling having a direct line to him at any time. I am extremely satisfied with my decision to have him represent me for my divorce. He was able to articulate everything to me so it made sense in a way I was able to understand it. He always ensured I was in the loop with what was going on, where we were in the process, what was on the horizon, and what to expect. In addition to all that, Paul has a military experience that is invaluable to service members. If you are in the military or have any military benefits on the line, you need to retaining his services. Whether you are military or a civilian, I highly recommend!

I have not had much experience with lawyers. However, The nightmare stories I have heard over the years from friends and co-workers really made me a skeptic. Paul was there for every step from the time I realized I was over my head. Leagaly I was uneducated on my rights when before the judge at t...he initial hearing. Pail stepped in late in the process and was with my wife and I all the way to the end he was awesome!! Thank you!! Benton and Michelle

I contacted Paul Ylvisaker several days after receiving notice that my wife was filing for divorce. Ylvisaker was not the first lawyer I interviewed and consulted, but he will be the last. It was immediately apparent that Ylvisaker was very knowledgeable and well-experienced in matters of divorce a...nd family law. Just as important, Ylvisaker has helped to alleviate many of my worries. Our discussions have always been comfortable and constructive.

Due to a conflict of interest with my previous lawyer I was referred to Paul and his team at Pahl and Associates. From the beginning to the final court document, I was really happy and relieved to have them on my side. The communication was great and consistent, and I always knew what was going on wi...th my case. Hopefully I don't need a lawyer again, but if I do I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call.
