It has been one of the best experiences with a lawyer. I really want to point out they just seem to know everything. Well worth the investment.

I do not usually like to leave reviews, but there is one attorney changed that. My son and I were…read morein serious need of someone to care about our well being not just be a paycheck.

I needed her help regards to my divorce .You will find ourself poring out your soul, and I am not one to let on about my private life. I make my mistakes but prefer to learn from it and move on. She never rushes, keeps you informed and updated. She works long hours and I can attest to that by the emails that she wrote and sent in the early morning hours. She has a very calm way about her that will calm you down. If you need help, at least see her and find out for yourself. I would have given her 10 stars if I could. Valerie S.

If you are looking for an honest, caring, understanding family law attorney, who is also…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and willing to go to bat for you, look no further than Paula Robinson. Paula has worked with me through my divorce (amicable) and custody (not so amicable). Throughout the entire process Paula acted as not only good legal council, but as a support for me. She made sure I understood the legal process, recommended top notch professionals for me to const with, and most importantly, Paula told it to me straight. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear but she never shied away from being true, real, and honest. I don't know if I would have made it out of the challenging process (at least it was challenging in my case) with my sanity without Paula. She is a tremendous resource and I can not recommend her services, and her, more.

Strangely, I have read a few negative comments about Breanna Cornwall despite my ongoing case being…read morevery positive. Last November, I fired my incompetent divorce attorney. Then, I hired Breanna, whom a close friend highly recommended. My first conversation with her was free, and as my case progressed, she and her attorneys have told me how to keep the costs down. Since then, the court hearings we have had have been in my favor. She has a strong knowledge of family and business law. She has been a strong advocate for my interests. She has been caring and quite attentive to my fears. During the last hearing, I was very nervous and a bit afraid and told her so; she responded, "It is ok for you to have questions, be nervous, and be afraid. But I am not. I am ready, and I've got you covered." I do feel sorry for the mother with the kids. I wish she had hired an expert attorney instead of representing herself. A court is not an easy place to navigate on your own. The intricate nature and intimidating atmosphere of the court, as well as being in front of a judge, makes it essential to enter with the proper legal counsel. I will keep you posted once the divorce is over.

To start, I have generally had an awful time with divorce lawyers. Carolyn was my fourth hire…read more Never once did I find a lawyer that had the bedside manner, the legal smarts, the organization (including regular billing cycles and consistent/timely communication), the will to fight for you and have your back -- basic things that one wants/needs in a lawyer and Carolyn was no exception. Why lawyers think it is okay to ignore clients and let calls and emails go unanswered just floors me. When I brought up the issue, Carolyn said that my mistake was in not copying Melissa, her assistant. But the issue still persisted even when I copied her. Surprisingly, what Carolyn confessed was that she wants to work with clients where the children will feel the direct impact of her service in a positive way. She wants to be in the courtroom. This is admirable, but everything else, (and most of family law is the infuriating back and forth negotiating and mind numbing calculation and modifications) she puts off as a low priority. When I asked her to explain legal terms to me, either she did not want to or she did not know how to. She made me feel like I was stupid and stubborn and foolish for not taking her advice. She did not refute false information that my ex submitted in legal documents. She overcharged me. Had I not kept meticulous records of my calls and emails with her, I would have missed her overcharging me by $8000. Bananas! Ultimately, she did not have my back. Does Carolyn know the law and understand the family court and differing styles of the judges? I guess so. But that's it. She is cold. She is impatient. She may lack feeling at this stage of her career. I truly regret hiring her.

When you are trying to explain something to the staff they just say uh huh, ok. Like are you even writing anything I'm saying down!? What you say is gonna go in one ear and out the other. It takes forever for anything to get done by their office. I'm talking months! So if you wanted to hurry and get your paperwork submitted do not use this office! They don't know how to do anything. My mom is still waiting for paperwork to get processed since January. 8 months and we still don't even have a case number. We went to the workers compensation office and the information and assistance officer said no application has ever been submitted for the dates and gave us a packet how to fill out the application and the name of the insurance company we needed to submit the application. This attorney is a thief, I do not recommend this office at all!!
