Thank you so much!

Paula represented me in my divorce. I came to her expecting a long drawn out process. I owned a business and I wanted to protect it at all costs. The divorce turned out to be an amicable one so it went very smoothly. Paula is extremely knowledgeable and very well organized. I always knew what was ...going on and that is very important to me. She kept me aware of any and all pitfalls. I am so thankful I had Paula representing me. Her professionalism and calming domineer was very valuable. I highly recommend Paula for all divorce matters.

An exceptional attourney

Paula represented me in attempted negotiation with my ex husband and my custody trial. We did everything possible to negotiate an agreeable settlement for both parties but my ex was unwilling to negotiate so we ended up going to custody trial. Paula is extremely knowledgable and very well organized.... I felt that we went to trial perfectly prepared and ready to win. I am so thankful I had Paula representing me and I firmly believe that her professionalism and courtroom savy allowed us our victory. I highly recommend Paula for all divorce matters.

Kind, organized, thorough

Paula has been a great source of support and a true resource during a very stressful time. I often thought there would be no end in sight or positive resolution at times. She helped create a position of strength for me and walked me through a plan. I took the steps she laid out and have now found mys...elf with a better job, home of my own, stable income and support and was able to keep my kids in the same school district (our number one goal). My spouse is adhearing to better rules of behavior and we now have some positive communication that was not possible before mediation.

Way too decent for DELCO courts

Paula was the lead attorney for my divorce. She knew the reputation of opposing counsel was that of being a disgrace with a very specific agenda to waste time and rack up legal fees. Well, Paula fell for every trick in this woman's book. In front of the judges, Paula was timid and too polite next ...to a lawyer whose main form of argument was volume. It would have been nice to have Paula turn to that other lawyer and ask her to be quiet. But not once. By the time the opposing counsel's rant ended, the judge had already shut down. What a waste of time and money. Most of this expense and frustration could have been avoided by being more assertive. If you just need paperwork processed, Paula will be fine. If you need a strong advocate in front of a judge, find the best connected lawyer you can. Nice and qualified attorneys in DELCO courts are a waste since most judges are predisposed to treat their contributors and allies with favor. Go with the attorney with the best connections and biggest mouth.
