I used Paul McDermott for representation during a custody dispute following my divorce. He was extremely prompt and did his best to make sure I got the most of his services for the retainer. He always returned my correspondences quickly with the information I needed. Highly recommended.

Mr. McDermott is an amazing attorney, he has guided me through the remaining paperwork that I had yet to file, cleared up any questions and concerns but most importantly he was able to get a hearing within days for temporary time-sharing, he is honest to the point, flexible with timing and and has quick response times. I'm happy to have him on my side and would recommend him to any person looking for an absolutely incredible family law attorney!

Paul McDermott and his assistant, Louise, were wonderful through the whole process of my divorce. From the consultation with Mr. McDermott all the way to the very end, he was professional, knowledgeable, prompt in my returning my calls and above all else, kind to the situation at hand. I truly felt that he did everything possible to keep the negotiations peaceful and to keep all the legal fees fair and reasonable as opposed to collecting a ridiculous retainer fee and adding up unnecessary costs. I highly recommend Paul McDermott and his team. They are excellent and they care.

Working with Paul and his staff through this significant life event could not have been any better. Not only did he provide a thorough and efficient legal service, but also he counseled me at a personal level calling upon his theological background to walk through challenges of the process from a spiritual perspective. The office never left me guessing as to the status of my case, and was extremely effective at maintaining constant communication with me. They were also extremely diligent in follow-up with the judicial system and the opposing party, and brought closure to the event in a rapid manner. Paul was more than fair with fees for his effort, and notified me regularly by way of detailed invoicing. His practice and approach is one of high integrity and professionalism, with a truly personal focus on the individual. I recommend Paul, without hesitation, to represent anyone looking for a unique approach to domestic relations cases.

Paul represented me with a traumatic event in my life. He represented me for around 8 months and successfully helped me conclude my case. His skills, communication, and demeanor is what I was searching for and I got it. I would highly recommend scheduling a consultation.
