Paula is Amazing!

Paula did a great job representing me during the mediation of my divorce. She was confident, decisive, and always knew what exactly what she was doing. Honestly, it felt like she was more in my corner than I was at times. I would definitely recommend hiring her to anyone.

Best Lawyer Ever!

After a year and 1/2 of a very difficult battle that was going to be hard to prove, Attorney Morrell set a new precedence for people needing a substantial change that suffer from mental illness. The Donna Hung Law Group are not the cheepest by any means, but we couldn’t be more happy with the outcome....

Best Divorce Lawyer Around!

I can not say enough awesome words about Attorney Paula Morrell and how she handled my divorce! After being served divorce papers at my job, I contacted her to handle my case because the law firm specializes in family law. My case also had domestic abuse present and I have three kids so it was no ea...sy matter. The other side kept changing lawyers, filing false motions, wouldn't turn in documents requested in a timely manner, and just plain wasted my time that left me frustrated. Attorney Morrell guided me through the entire two year event and kept me calm and patient. Attorney Morrell was always on time, let me know when I had to be present in court or not, gave me her honest opinion and helped my chose the direction that was best for me. Attorney Morrell communicated effectively and promptly. Due to my schedule, emails were best for me but if I needed to have a phone or in person conference she was there. My divorce ended with trial because at mediation my ex-husband's demands were just ridiculous. And she stuck with me when I refused to do future mediations with his new lawyer and his same demands. During my trial, Attorney Morrell was well organized and came prepared for anything. During the break, she coached me and my witnesses and made us at ease. She was ready for any and everything that the opposing counsel would try to throw our way. As of 2/16/18, I am the happiest divorced lady I know! Attorney Morrell got 99% of my demands met! Who could ask for anything more?!? The judge's exact words were, "Were are going to follow the respondent's request for final judgement except..." Attorney Morrell helped me come out on top of the trial by being able to help me tell my truths! I hugged her five times afterwards. The Donna Hung Law Firm was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who had the same results. I would recommend Attorney Morrell and the firm to everyone. Their knowledge of the law/judicial system, effective communication with clients, and professionalism is shown throughout the entire firm. Definitely give them a call!

Two successful cases with Paula!

This is my second time hiring Paula as my attorney; once for divorce, and second for relocation with children. I have been very satisfied both times and received my recent relocation after a very difficult relocation trial! I worked closely with Paula and Monica throughout my entire case and they are... very attentive, proactive, and thorough! They were always there to answer any of my questions or concerns and I am so thankful for all of their help! I would highly recommend Paula to anyone looking for an amazing attorney to represent them!

Paula is my hero!

Paula helped me resolve an issue I've been dealing with for over 3 years. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She never made me feel like I was bothering her when I had a question or concern. Anyone would be lucky to have her representing you! She is my hero!!
