Paula took on our contentious custody case from 2019-2021. Her knowledge of the court system and family law set up our case in the most successful way possible through multiple pretrials and contempt hearings; we didn't go to a full trial. We believe her approach to our case was the reason the defendant asked to settle. She has been an attorney in AAC for 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. 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 our case's events in a manner that truly showcased the poor actions of the other parent. She is worth every penny you pay, and we cannot recommend her enough.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paula and her team. Her guidance and expert advice throughout a very difficult time for my family was invaluable. At the conclusion of the case, we could look back and see how she built a winning case.

I interviewed many lawyers before I felt comfortable selecting one. Paula Darrah worked hard to get me the outcome I wanted while other lawyers I spoke with had a negative attitude and made me feel I had a hopeless case. Paula communicated regularly with me and clearly explained things I didn't understand. She strongly supported my case, but knew when to step back and not push the opposition too far. She was a great advocate to have on my side.
