I was looking for some legal advice in regards to a DUI case. I have heard great things about Paula. I understand time is money however, when I spoke with this woman she had quite the mouth on her. I know that is a great quality to have in the court room and all but I could not get a word in. She spoke very fast, was condescending and abrasive. Mind you this was literally a 2 minute and 10 second conversation. Put a smile on and do some yoga sweetheart life is too short for animosity! Stay safe:)

How do you accept a case then change your mind and dump your client in the middle of the case? Extremely Disappointing and very UNPROFESSIONAL! I understand that sometimes unforeseen circumstances prevent Attorneys from seeing a case through but to come up with a poor excuse of communication after one of your firm representatives has worked extensively with the Client? The only thing that comes to mind is that this Attorney wants the SuperCase to take them to Johnny Cochran STATUS! If this Attorney cannot represent the Common Folk, ASK YOUR SELF, HOW WILL THIS END FOR ME? STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY
