Paul is a ‘no drama, get to the point’ attorney. At first he can seem intimidating but as you sit with him you realize that he is a “‘cut to the chase” person that will fiercely fight for you but you need to have your wants/needs/interested buttoned up and ready before you are in his office. He is not a marriage counselor, he does not sympathize with your situation ( I mean, to a degree but if you pay by the hour it’s cheaper to see a therapist). Be ready with your finances, boundaries, needs/wants/ideal outcome and be honest and forthright. As a female retaining him for a divorce without a lot of conflict he was able to walk me through my rights, file appropriate paperwork, give solid and sound advice while being realistic about the outcome. When you hire attorneys, expect to pay their worth, it’s the same with Eagle Law but you will get your moneys worth and be properly represented so long as you are prepared and ready with all documents and expectations at the first meeting. If you don’t waste his time, he won’t waste yours. I highly recommend his firm to any woman seeking a divorce with children in mind. That said, be prepared that he is not your therapist or friend, he is an aggressive lawyer that will represent you fully so long as you are prepared to move swiftly and let him know exact what you need.
