HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Attorney Paula Morrell was my attorney on a 2 YEAR child custody and support case. She secured the future of my son. She went above and beyond, not only with her legal expertise but also with her care and support during a very difficult time for my family and I. She was with me EVERY step of the way ...and was an advocate for my family to the fullest with our best interest as her top priority. The legal system can be confusing, scary and stressful but having her representation helped alleviate most of that during my experiences. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Paula Morrell. If the need ever arises again, I would be confident in hiring her and having her in my corner.

Paula... Everything you would want in a lawyer!

To say that Paula Morrell and Donna Hung are compassionate and professional would be an understatement. The circumstances in which I met them were unfortunate (as are most of their clients I"m sure). The last thing I would have expected or wanted was to get a divorce. However, I'm sure like a lot o...f people sometimes you don't get to choose your fate, **it just happens. I was scared, depressed and did not know how to put one foot in front of the other to pick up the pieces I was left in. From the moment I walked into my first consultation I felt a sense of comfort and relief. Paula was compassionate to my unbearable situation and at the same time gave me realistic expectations from our first meeting. She was honest and explained every detail of the process to me so I would know what to expect every step of the way. Any question I had she was quick to respond. Paula and her staff are top notch professionals and it reflects in their work as well as their reputation in this community. I would highly recommend her to friends, colleges or anyone who has to endure this awful process. Don't let your spouse (or their attorney for that matter) bully you out of what you are entitled to. If I can reach one scared person who is starting this journey, do yourself a huge favor and call Paula Morrell!

So very professional and competent!

Attorney Morrell and her team stood by my side through a fairly uncomplicated divorce. I'll be honest, I admit I was a little worried that I wouldn't get the same attention a bigger more dramatic case would get. I had such a good experience, however, and would definitely recommend this team!

Consider other options first

Paula was retained by default when hiring The Law office of Donna. We found her to be very lax with our case & often felt we were working for ourselves. After thousands were paid, progression was not made nor ideas given for settlement. I would urge you to fully research another option.
