I can't begin to thank and recommend Paul enough. Going through family court is one of the hardest processes a family can go through, especially when it is a high-conflict case like mine was. As stressful and anxiety-ridden as it was, one thing I knew I could count on was Paul. He is not only caring and relatable as a person but his professionalism and matter-of-fact attitude were outstanding. He stuck to the facts and the truth while sticking up for what I knew to be the best interest of my child. Paul was easy to get in touch with and always on-time. Paperwork for the courts is always daunting but Paul did a great job making sure everything was put together in a professional manner leaving me with as little work as possible during such a stressful time. It is hard to always think strategically in the legal realm when emotions are high and the case is so personal to you. While being empathetic to what I was going through, Paul did a great job helping to make sure I was making decisions based on facts and not emotion. Also, finding trust in an attorney is not always easy to do but it was easy to trust Paul with my fragile case and I am glad I did. If you need an attorney to challenge opposing counsel, to stick up for what is right and fair then Paul Knudsen is for you. He worked with me every step of the way and I can't imagine hiring anyone else to get the job done so effectively. If you are going to hire an attorney, hire Paul. In the long run or at least temporarily, the outcome of my case could not have turned out better for the time being. Thank you, Paul.
Paul guided us through an unfortunate journey which had to involve the family court system. Although there is still more to conquer his patience, expertise, and calming nature settled us all along the way. Our family truly appreciates and thanks him immensely. Gratitude beyond words, Heather & Family
From the initial consultation to the successful conclusion of my case Paul was there to lead me in the right direction. Resulting in a 50/ 50 time sharing custody agreement. No alimony or child support as well as a favorable and fair monetary settlement. Paul never went more then 24 hrs getting back to me and usually replied the same day if not within the hour. His office staff at his firm were of great help as well. Most importantly he is honest and knows his specialty. Everything he told me would happen actually happened. He made an uncertain situation palatable as the process unfolded in a timely manner. I will be referring everyone I know in need of his services to him. Paul truly cared about me and my family and it showed in his dedication and strong work ethic.
When I met Paul and told him my situation, he was right on the mark. Paul was very patient with me while I was retaining monies needed and with my personal issues I was going through. He always was one click away for me to contact him. He has a very calming presence when you are in court with him because I was very nervous. He coached me and I executed what I need to convey to the judge. The process was painless and quick. Thank you Paul with your excellent knowledge, understanding and patient. You were blessing when I felt I was drowning. You are inspiration! Use it to pay forward. All the best, Carla
Mr. Knudsen is a fantastic family attorney who will fight for you. Not only is a assertive and knowledgeable, but he is very honest and will always tell you what to expect throughout the difficult process of family legal matters.
I was a misunderstood mother in fear of my life. I feared and dreaded dealing with my legal situation in court because my safety was in danger. Strangely enough, I initially did not receive the protection and remedy I so desperately needed from our legal system. Upon retaining the legal services of Paul J. Knudsen, Esq., the difficult situation I had been dealing with took a sharp turn. He went beyond the call of duty and proved through his work with my case that he always puts his clients first. He worked diligently, insuring he had every ounce of evidence needed to demonstrate my case. Because of his work ethics and passion to right a wrong, my life is now back to normal. He is not your average attorney, he is extraordinary. His fees are more than reasonable. Through my experience, he works for the pure passion of helping others, and he won't rest until the job is done to his satisfaction.
I would recommend this attorney to everybody. Highly satisfied with the service provided, step by step information and updates. Every question was answered immediately. Very reliable and professional.
Mr. Knudsen is very well versed in family and marital law. He handled and produced my documentation in an exemplary manner!
Mr. Knudsen was very thorough and kept me informed of the status of my case the entire time. He managed to arrange an excellent plea, even though I did not leave him much to work with. Definitely recommended.
Attorney Paul Knudsen, Handled my case with the utmost care, respect, and professionalism. I would Highly recommend Attorney Paul J Knudsen to anyone seeking legal services.
