Family Law Attorney Paula Schaefer is simply AMAZING! I struggled for 3 years to find a family law attorney who listened, treated me like a human being, and cared about the details of my divorce case. Paula is kind, steadfast, honest, professional, cool under pressure, and a classy attorney who will never make you feel like you are unworthy of great legal representation. She returns phone calls, responds to e-mails, Has an incredible legal staff, and prepares thoroughly. Paula is BEST!

Hired Attorney

I initially hired Paula in regards of a high conflict custody case. Initially, our first consultation, she made all these promises to be able to win the case, after paying the retainer fee which she made me think she needed asap, communication dwindled, and all those promises fell through. When having to write discovery, all she stated was to do it to the best of my ability, without any advice on how to proceed with some of the questions. Thank goodness for google. Ended up being charged for every email sent and received. Most emails were responded to by paralegal and she still wasn’t very helpful. Paula had no care for my case and seemingly just was in it for the money. Ended up doing most of the actual agreement myself along with opposing counsel. All Paula did was sign over papers, just for me to owe thousands. Highly don’t recommend.
