pleasure of working with. It is never an easy task to go through a custody modification, but Paula\u2019s showed me what a truly engaged and passionate lawyer looks like. She puts her heart and soul into her work and I will appreciate what she did for me forever. Whenever you call her you can reach her and whenever you need to talk to her she will make time for you. I\u2019ve had other lawyers in the past and she has set the bar extremely high, if I ever have to go back to court for another lawyer to take her place. I would say the best thing I have done with my time so far this month is writing this well-deserved review.
