Paige is an amazing attorney! An advocate for me and made sure what I wanted, which was fair and equitable, all while making sure I didn't shortchange myself out of sadness. Paige looked out for MY best interest, even when I wanted to just say forget everything. Paige took care of me and had the foresight and experience to say, I will make sure your future is secure. I have the utmost trust, respect and gratitude for her! It's been 6 years and I haven't had to go back for any other issues. I feel everything was properly addressed in one shot with my divorce! Having an attorney who genuinely took

Paige Quilliam provided me incredible counsel during a very challenging time. She was dedicated to helping me get the fairest and most appropriate settlement I was entitled to and spent many, many hours tying down all loose ends. She was professional, firm and brilliant in court, and always had the best interest of my children in mind. I can't recommend her enough.

My husband used Paige Quilliam based off my recommendation (which I feel awful about). My recommendation came from my cousin who is a partner in a law firm out of state. Everything went fine the first time around, which is why he sought her out a second time.
I went with him this time around for moral support. I never met her previously, and honestly I wasn't the least bit impressed. The meeting felt rushed, and it lasted all of 15 minutes. I thought we would be there for at least an hour. On top of that - she charged him $200. Personally, I don't think it's in good practice to charge a returning

The following is a review of my experience with Paige Quilliam whom I hired to represent me in a child custody.
I had previously used Paige in the same case, against the same person, with the same opposing counsel. She currently works for a different law firm and I tracked her down since she was familiar with the case.
I had been attempting to communicate with my child’s mother since mid February 2018; in June I had had enough and set up a consult with Paige on 06 June. After the consult, I agreed to hire her and she said she’d be in touch. On 19 June I gave a credit card payment over the
