Top notch, professional, caring attorney - Sanjay Paul.

Custody disputes can be extremely stressful events - I've been through two, the most recent with Mr. Paul. The last thing you need is an attorney who is only interested in money and as quick a settlement for you so that he can move on to his next case. This is not the type of attorney Mr. Paul is. ... From day one, he was compassionate, caring, thorough, and extremely professional. He was able to get a better than fair settlement; he was responsive to emails, phone calls and many of my questions. He is nothing short of a standup attorney, one you can truly trust. Please, if you have custody or child support issues choose him. You will not be disappointed. I give him my highest recommendation in all areas. He is, truly, on your side. Thank you very much, Sanjay, for your excellent representation.
