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 helped me with a divorce from the most selfish woman that i had ever met. This was not a easy feat to say the least. He did a amazing job of advising me, let me know what i was looking at post-divorce ,and advising me on the best way to get out of it quickly, easily, and with as little stress an...d cost as possible. He always kept in contact with me on a frequent basis. His patience and understanding in my case was a lot better than mine and he was able to keep me calm concerning issues of custody ,property, and cost. I would recommend Paul Ylvisaker to anyone who maybe seeking a client first, no nonsense, lawyer professional. Joe A. Thomas USMC

Paul assumed the responsibilities of my case after I fired my previous attorney and my only regret is that I didn't find him much sooner. During our initial consult he listened! He let me tell my story and the difficulties I was facing and most importantly he managed my expectations openly and honest...ly. His ability to understand your priorities, work tirelessly on your behalf, and provide you with consistent and timely updates is unmatched. Sometimes you just want to be heard in court and Paul's your man to do it. I understood that some of my requests could potentially be shot down - he gave me the pros and cons to bringing them up, but ultimately let the decision be mine and that was refreshing. At the end of the day I'm finally divorced and most importantly, I have joint custody of my beautiful little girl. I couldn't be happier.
