Going through a custody battle for our son has been one of the most difficult experiences my wife and I have ever faced. From the very beginning, our attorney, Paul Fromson, has been outstanding. He has guided us through every step of this complex case with professionalism, compassion, and an incredible depth of knowledge. Paul has always made us feel confident and reassured, taking the time to explain everything clearly and fight for what is in our son's best interests. His dedication and commitment have given us hope during such a stressful time. His entire team has also been amazing. Everyone has been professional, responsive, supportive, and genuinely caring throughout this process. We have always felt like we were in good hands. We cannot thank Paul Fromson and his team enough for everything they have done for our family. We will forever be grateful for their hard work, dedication, and unwavering support. We highly recommend Paul Fromson to anyone who needs an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate family law attorney. read more

I would like to say our experience with Paul and his staff is one to be shared and appreciated. He was very straight forward, understanding and went the extra mile. He is very professional and down to earth. Paul made us feel safe and confident from the get go, and the decision to hire him was absolutely the best! As custody battles are never easy, just know there is always hope to a good conclusion with Fromson law firm. I have read some negative reviews and I would have to say I do not agree with them at all, maybe it didn't go their way. Just know we are satisfied and continue to work with him. Our family will always turn to Fromson law firm Paul, Gina and their staff are just wonderful. read more

If you're looking for a lawyer in Merced Co. Give the Fromson Law office a call and ask for Julie she will get you squared away. The case they took on to defend me is a roller coaster and having the Fromson Law firm behind me definitely benefited my families situation. Alondra was also great in her assistance with my case, you're in good hands between all the staff and Mr. Fromson. read more

When I walked into Paul Fromson's office about two years ago, I was dealing with a very difficult child custody case with a person set on preventing contact at any cost. I was confused about my rights, the options available to me, and how I could possibly stand a chance in a system many men and women agree still favors one parent over the other. From the moment I retained Mr. Fromson, I knew I made the correct decision, and would like to provide fathers in a similar situation with some hope about what you can do to fight back for your children. First off, men; you have rights as a parent. Knowing your rights and how to make the most of them is something Mr. Fromson intricately understands from decades of experience working in family law. He will not let you waive these rights, or let give negotiate them away because you're hoping the other parent might come to their senses and become more amicable to your position. To this point, his exceptional knowledge of the system has yielded nothing but positive results from my perspective. Every time the other parent violated the court order, his office was expedient in ensuring they were held accountable. Every time this parent started playing games, he knew exactly how to get them to stop. I imagine I am hardly done dealing with the other parent's disruptive behavior, as I have a long way to go still before my child is an adult, but I know he and his whole team will be there through it all. On that note, let it be known I think the world of everyone in his office. They have made and my child and me feel like part of their family, and I have never doubted they are genuinely impacted by the results, especially when the courts appear slow to react. This whole team has been there through every triumph and every setback, and I imagine them seeing me go through every roadblock possible to be involved in my child's life also impacts them greatly. Empathy is a must in this field considering you (as the client) want someone you are working with to also care about the most important thing in the world to you... and I believe they absolutely do. As far as accessibility; he returns 100% of my calls the same day. I do not believe any review that suggest otherwise. He is prompt to hearings and provides regular updates between hearings if anything relevant occurs. He will disclose to you at the initial consultation that he falls on the higher end of retainers, but from my experience there is a clear reason why (cheaper options are not better). Most child custody cases will go on for some time; so, do not expect a low initial retainer to last, especially through a high conflict case. I wanted to address one complaint I read about him not listening to a laundry list of your issues; well, that's not his job. He is a lawyer who will tell you what you need to do to get the best results for your case. If you want to talk about every comment your ex made during your relationship, go see a counselor. When you have a consultation, leave your feelings at the door, and bring documentation. On that note; you remain the best tool for a successful court hearing. Showing up late, looking like you just rolled out of bed, or violating the court order because you think it's not fair, is not going help... even with a lawyer. Keeping diligent logs of visits, photos of the other parent showing up late to exchanges, and police reports when appropriate is how you get what you're looking for. Still, after more than two years and a lot of hearings, I am thrilled to say I have majority of the custody of my child, and I have Mr. Fromson and his team to thank for that. In closing, if you are a new single parent trying to figure out how to stop the other parent from abusing your rights, and damaging the relationship you should be having with your child... retain a family lawyer. And if this lengthy review is any indication of my recommendation, you should start by calling Paul Fromson first. read more

He was hired for my elderly fathers divorce. I feel like he stalled for 3 years until the to-be ex-wife died. During 3yrs was not even successful retrieving my fathers clothes and not a single dime. I feel like we gave him almost $10K to do nothing except waste time. In my opinion not capable of handling divorce cases. read more

Took a large retainer then dropped my case 3 weeks before a court date. Not willing to take the time or do the work.

I don't even think he deserves a star. One of the worst persons to talk to, or even ask a question. I called to ask if he would be able to represent a friend and the way that he answered gave me an exact idea of the kind of person he is. Money hungry and ignorant. I called to ask a question and the kind of rude answer he gave me was not necessary. I am an educated individual who not only understands customer service but I work with the public myself. Horrible person to work for the public. I hope people realize that before they hire such individual. read more

Ever met a lawyer with NO voicemail, NO cell phone, and NO email? Now you have! Not to mention, he has his rude and derogatory Paralegal handle legal negotiations, even when you request to talk to the lawyer. These clowns even accused me of having a lawyer! Then, when it was obvious they were wrong, they never followed up on their false accusations..The icing on the cake? They incorrectly filed paperwork for their client (ex wife) and then had to fix that too. Paul is old, ready to sail off into the sunset, and doesnt care about anything but money. He will gladly take your money and promise you whatever you want to hear. As you can see in other online reviews, he even propositions his female clients for sex. If they say no - he quits! My ex wife was obviously desperate, and in a bad position, but Paul wasted no time taking her money and having his paralegal handle everything...Sad. I care about my ex and feel bad she wasted her money on this slimeball! Please dont make the same mistake that she did! read more

If you are hesitant to find a family lawyer, don't be. Custody cases are never easy and I am truly thankful to have found Paul Fromson and his staff. They have assisted in all aspects of my case making the process much more tolerable, and given me hope, which I had believed was impossible. While this is still an ongoing battle, I can honestly say I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel, which wouldn't be possible without Mr. Fromson and his team. read more

This man PAUL FROMSON is a liar. He misses court dates, makes deals with the judge and the parties lawyer (usually his colleges/long time friends) on your behalf without consulting you... and it won't be in your favor. He's disrespectful and does zero work. Please don't hire him... he's just a thief! He caused me to lose everything then told me he didn't want to represent me anymore. He never finishes cases... before you know it you down 20,000 and still in the same situation, if not worse. He even told me he didn't have time for me! I dont recommend him, he should retire... cause his heart is not in the game... he is also rude, tells at you, cusses and is very aggressive. He even started to lie to me about my case!!! Beware of PAUL FROMSON! I wish I never hired him. read more

After hiring 2 previous lawyers for representation and unhappy with how they coward to my ex's attorneys, I decided to approach Mr. Fromson. He was straight forward from the get-go about what it was going to take to get what I wanted. You do what this guy recommends and you will get results guaranteed. I would highly recommend Mr. Fromson to anyone! ...except my ex :) read more

Don't even bother! Got referred by EAP through my work for a free consultation Mr. Frompson spent less then 1 min on the phone with me asked me if I could afford a lawyer. I advised that was questionable. He then asked me why I was calling him I told him to find out what my options are. He advised me that he was top of the line and maybe I should look around. After being in public safety for 22 years and getting his number through my Employee Assistance Program I was shocked. I would never ever refer anyone to him as he is not helpful and only in search for money. I will be calling my EAP program to make sure this is reported. He should not be on a referral list if he is not willing to offer the free consultation as requested or prices before asking why are u calling me!?! Questionable does not mean cant afford. As a lawyer and a professional he should be aware of that and let potential clients know the cost before passing judgment on if they can afford it or not. I would not recommend calling even if referred by your EAP program through work ask for anyone else!!! read more

I hired Paul Fromson to take on my child custody and criminal case and had nothing but the best experience. Mr Fromson and his legal assistant Alondra did the best job at representing me and got me out of the false allegations that my ex placed on me by calling the police on me 7 times. He proved with his outlandish style that my ex was lying and it showed the judge that the restraining order placed on me was completely wrong. I ended up with Majority custody of my children and Domestic Violence charges dropped. Mr Fromson may be rough around the edges and not everyone's cup of tea but he's a bulldog in the court room and it shows by the respect all the other attorneys give him. I'll refer anyone that asks me to Mr Fromson and his staff. They are the best!! read more
