Paul Ylvisaker

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!

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.

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.

Paul was my attorney in a horrible divorce against a Narcissist. Dealing with Narcissists takes a very special kind of handling. I could not have picked a better person to represent me. He took a lot of time to listen to my case, the history I had with my ex, and he was not only empathetic but, very ...encouraging as well. I came in crying and left feeling relieved. Paul was confident and you could tell he had a lot of experience as a trial attorney. He does not tell you what you want to hear, he tells you how it is and how it is going to be. So you are never left guessing what the next steps are, what will likely happen, and when. I never had to wait to hear from him. He was always in constant communication via phone, text, and email. It was really nice because I knew exactly where I was in the process the whole time. I can't say enough good things about Paul. I highly recommend him, especially if you are in a high-net-worth divorce situation. He is very conscientious about his time and keeping costs down. He will tell you exactly what will be the cheapest way to go about certain things. So even if you are in a high-net-worth divorce situation, you are not going to spend all your money getting out of a marriage. He is really perfect for anyone looking for a low-cost divorce because he does use his paralegal as much as possible, however, for a high-net-worth divorce, I would never choose anyone but Paul. He looked over every financial record of mine and gave me the truth about it all and what I would be looking at post-divorce. So there was zero shock once those papers were signed.
