About
When I first meet a client, he or she is often coming to me at the most vulnerable time in their lives. The client may be overwhelmed, worried, angry, stressed, and unsure of what the future will bring. The part of my practice I enjoy the best is watching that client change throughout the process; sometimes so much so that the person I first meet is hardly recognizable when compared to the person sitting across from me at the end of their case. I like knowing that the person who leaves my office was better off because I was involved.Whether in court or in settlement, I will be the most prepared person in the room, which means not only involving the right people, such as CPA’s, financial advisors, business evaluators or psychologists; it also means having the tough conversations with my clients. I will always be honest with my client, even if what I’m saying is not what the client wants to hear. My goal is to settle every case that comes through the door because in my experience, clients and families typically have better outcomes when a settlement can be reached. However, I am not afraid to go to court when necessary and I have litigated several complex family law cases, which my adversaries know about me.

Paige possesses the rare qualities of both taking care and taking charge. I began working with her under dire circumstances at the start of my contentious divorce and custody battle. She provided steadfast guidance in the midst of extreme actions taken by the other party, and never backed down from the complexities of my case. I sought full custody and a move-away order, a seemingly impossible endeavor, and Paige was realistic and transparent about the challenge ahead. During one of the most emotionally charged times in my life, she helped me find the patience to trust the process toward better long-term success. Paige is incredibly quick on her feet and extremely organized, key factors that made each milestone successful and led to the best outcome imaginable for my case. I highly recommend Paige to anyone seeking a highly skilled, compassionate, and strategic-minded lawyer.
In my experience, going through a divorce and parenting time disputes, is not an easy process and full of difficulties and high stress. The legal guidance I received through Four Point Legal and specifically Paige De Muniz was essential and stands out from others. Paige consistently provided a supportive, calm, and centered space. Her knowledge and advice was clear and punctual. I depended on her excellent access to resources. I could not have asked for better treatment and service. I wholeheartedly recommend Paige and her team of professionals to anyone going through a similar situation. My warmest regards, Ms. Hamilton
When we took our ideas regarding estate planning to John, he did a marvelous job of adapting our desires into legal documents that accomplish our goals. In short, he listened. When we hit a difficult issue, he had a simple solution that solved the problem. Well done, thank you John.
I highly recommend Paige De Muniz as a Family Law lawyer. Paige was able to settle my case after 11 years of spousal support to both sides satisfaction. She was able to succeed where others struggled and understands how to get to win win!
I hired Paige to represent me through a dissolution of domestic partnership proceeding after our initial consultation. Her technical expertise was apparent and she displayed compassion as I was navigating a very difficult transition. At a time when my emotions were high and my patience and rationale low, Paige maintained a great balance of sympathy and professionalism that kept us guided and on track to towards a favorable resolution. She exhibited expert negotiating skills and left me highly impressed when engaging opposing council, especially when opposing council was contentious or insensible. Finding myself in a no-win situation was never something I had foreseen, but I was able to come out the other side in a fortunate position that no doubt was due to Paige’s skillful guidance and keen judgement. Interactions with Paige’s legal assistance and the staff at Gevurtz Menashe were always pleasant as well.
I've worked with Paige twice for my family law needs and she has each time gone way beyond the call of duty. Her kind, compassionate, understanding attitude and strong work ethic shines through each time. I have been blessed to work with her during some of the most grueling personal tragedy. She is my go to for all my family law needs!
I first met Paige when I was deciding what to do about my marriage, she was very compassionate about the situation and I felt very informed. I did not reach out to her again for 6 months, she remembered me and jumped right in. She was thoughtful, organized and very detailed oriented. She was not afraid to take on issues with the other lawyer and did a great job protecting me when things were entering a gray area. I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a great lawyer who is very knowledgable, detailed oriented and compassionate during a difficult time in their life.
I recently hired Paige to help me with my divorce. It's a completely overwhelming and emotional process and I felt so relieved to have her on my team. She was so organized and informative and responded immediately to any concerns I had. She broke everything down into language that made sense to me and I know she had my best interest at heart. I had met with two attorneys and a mediator before hiring her and she was far and away the best choice. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.
Paige was very helpful and opened my eyes to what was happening. Paige let me know all i needed to know in the consultation and was up front and did everything I asked and more.
I am very thankful to have had Paige in my corner through a difficult process. She was skilled at keeping me focused and yet could listen to my questions and concerns with patience. I switched attorneys mid-case and had no idea how poorly I had been previously represented until I retained Paige and her staff. They raised the bar on every level. All top marks for Paige in all categories!
