This attorney handled my divorce back in the nineties. Thank God for her. I was confused and terrified to face a future with a handicapped child and a young daughter. Paula worked with me as if I were her only client. She made sure we were well taken care of well.

Paula took on our contentious custody case in 2019. Despite many setbacks from COVID, she helped us get custody of our child in 2021. Her knowledge of the Maryland court system and family law set up our case in the most successful way possible through multiple pretrials and contempt hearings; we didn't have to go to a full trial. We believe her approach to our case and was the reason the defendant asked to settle. She has been an attorney in Anne Arundel County for over 30 years and her knowledge, network, and skills reflect this tenure. She is a bulldog in court and made sure the defendant's counsel followed litigation procedures absolutely perfectly or not at all; and the judges agreed. She understands the behaviors of disordered parents and knows how to approach them with legal actions that will perfectly document their performances in a manner that the courts will understand. The legal motions she drafted for our case were brilliantly written and documented the events of our case in a manner that truly showcased the poor actions of the other parent. Not only is she good at her job, she also truly cares for her clients and their families and still asks for updates on our kids. She is worth every penny you pay, and we cannot recommend her enough. If you are seeking aid from the courts for any issues, big or small, you want Paula representing you.

I am extremely grateful I hired Paula Darrah to help me through my divorce. She is very dedicated, professional and works hard for her clients. She is definitely someone you want in your corner if things get tough. She will go above and beyond and I cannot imagine going through such a difficult, life altering event with anyone else representing me.

Ms. Darrah proved to be knowledgeable, confident, thorough and very professional. I had complete confidence that she was there to represent my best interest and help guide me through the process. Although the court order did not end the difficult situation, she has always been available to discuss any new issue.

Amazing lawyer! Very professional and straight to the point. I’ve hired Paula several times...for divorce, custody, and visitation and she has been phenomenal every time! Very punctual and meets deadlines. Her staff is also very helpful and professional. She listens and provides professional expertise with your goals in mind. Will go above and beyond and work after hours to ensure she represents you.

I was represented by Paula DARRAH in my Divorce & Custody case. My case was unique in many ways and required a lot of attention. Paula gave the necessary attention and fought for my child's well being each and every time we were in court. I can honestly say she was "My Voice" in the court room. I can not imagine a better attorney she is Amazing at what she does!

We hired Attorney Paula Darrah in need of immediate representation and could not be more pleased with our decision in having Paula represent us. Attorney Paula Darrah holds the standard of professionalism and ethics to the highest degree. As an attorney, the quality of Paula’s representation is of no comparison. Paula Darrah is an honest, thoroughly dedicated attorney with a pronounced focused attention to detail; fully committed to her client’s best interest; immersing herself in her cases in preparation for the most ideal outcome for each of her clients. Paula takes pride in the business of representing her clients and their needs and her unwavering and direct demeanor displays the firm believer of what and whom she is representing; she communicates openly and regularly and is responsive to all court matters and/or filings, and is abundantly knowledgeable and easily displays such, both in and out of the court room. After experiencing multiple attorneys throughout the past many years, Paula Darrah is the only attorney we will use and the only attorney we will recommend. Her guidance, support and dedication is worth far more than any rate charged. Having Paula on our side has been a blessing and we feel lucky to have found her when she was needed the most.

Paula represented me in a complex and difficult divorce action. She was a consummate professional and dedicated advocate, and overcame numerous obstacles to achieve a successful resolution in my case. She has a great command of the law and is a skilled litigator. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone in need of a lawyer.
