Paula has a big heart. She cared about my case and believed in me when it seemed that nobody would. I had lost all respect for the legal system. She was so wonderful to work with and she didn’t quit until I got the justice I deserved. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for everything you did for me Paula.

Real work, there for you. Dependable. Real members of your community who care about what’s right

Paula was amazing at helping me terminate a guardianship in tribal court. It was a difficult and unique case. She fights for what's right and is straight to the point.

We can't thank Paula and her staff enough for the hard work she does and how she fights for what's right. Shes absolutely the person to go to when your family is in need of help especially if you're in tribal court.

I couldn't have asked for anything more when it came to helping me and my family. I thought going into this I'd feel scared, overwhelmed and unsure about everything and somehow Melissa and the rest of the team took most of that weight right off my shoulders. They stayed very professional and to the point but yet had a heart if gold when I needed it most. I couldn't recommend anyone better for the job.

Paula helped us through our step parent adoption! She was very timely with sending us paperwork to fill out and kept in touch through the process to ensure that we were all on the same page! She made this process as easy as it could have been and finally made our daughters dream come true!

So incredibly thankful we found Paula! She immediately took action on an incredibly tricky case my husband and I had. We were very impressed with her precise knowledge and experience of the matter. We highly recommend Paula and her team of professionals! Without her we would not be where we are at today, in our own little slice of heaven. ❣️

This attorney is a joke, my daughter hired this law firm to represent her in a custody battle which ended up costing her over $10,000.00 and they have done nothing for her. She should have gave them the money to represent her child's father because that is pretty much what they did. Then they call her to tell her that she owes them another $3,000.00 for a show cause hearing that's coming up because they didn't file the paperwork with the court. They think she is young and dumb and going to keep paying them to do nothing. You try calling them for answers and no one answers the phone and it goes right to the answering machine and says your call is very important to us but the mailbox is full. I would never hire these people if my life depended on it.

This law firm is a train wreck and money pit/vacuum. I spent approximately $20,000 on a very small portion of a family law case that was primarily based on my attorney's incorrect understanding of the law. And I lost. Paula Fisher complained that I "owed thousands of dollars for months before deciding to pay". However, I still have a copy of EVERY SINGLE MONTHLY invoice that shows that I was NEVER any more than $170 past due, and that was only by 30 days. My attorney (Melissa) failed to provide critical time-sensitive information and documentation to me until 28 FULL DAYS of receiving it. Beyond 21 days, I (nor anyone else) could do anything about it, per the statute. "Dropping the ball" would be an understatement here. One month I was charged ~$11,000 without anyone giving me a heads up that this unreasonable cost would soon be charged. I was charged about $1000 for my attorney (Melissa) to construct a small table that could easily fit on half a page. It was something that could have easily been done about in 30 minutes by a person with no legal experience (like me). My attorney did not start to prepare for my hearing until the night before and was sent critical information about the hearing just 2 hours before the start. On another occasion, my attorney dragged her feet and gave me only about 2 hours to review/reply before an important deadline (and that was assuming I was available at that time on that day). No advance notice whatsoever. I was threatened about payment on my account ONLY 5 DAYS after FIRST receiving an invoice or verbal information on the charges. I was given the answer "I don't know" when asking details about why opposing counsel was objecting to our motion because it did not follow standardized court rules. They recently hired a lot of staff with little experience. And no staff with medium to lots of experience. Interestingly, no one every answers the phone when you call. And calls are return less that 50% of the time. I could go on. From what I hear, other clients are charged 10 times more than they should for the same sub-par work. And the "sub-par" description is being generous. Perhaps the only place they have in a court of law is to defend themselves against dereliction of duty and fraud?

The last thing you want to hear from your attorney is “I don’t know.” If you want zero results and charges that are eight times what are reasonable, this is your place. You’ll also receive court documents that are approximately 30 days late so you’re better off doing all your work yourself to meet deadlines.

I hired Paula’s law firm for a show cause case from my ex wife breaking a court order and keeping my children on my parenting days. I had a meeting with Paula over the phone and she assured me it was a quick and easy case to win. What she didn’t tell me is that she rarely uses paralegals and that you are charged lawyer fees for almost all work done at $350 to $400 an hour. My invoices were constantly wrong and I had to contact her numerous times to correct it. After I received my first invoice I was shocked at how much she had charged me, I hired Paula in February of 2022 and the case was resolved with a win in December of 2022 and the total bill was about $8000 to get 9 days of parenting time back. After complaining about the ridiculous bills she did give me about $2000 off. So $6000 to get 9 days back. After I paid Paula her final invoice she said my account was paid and closed but then in march of 2023 I received another bill from her for a meeting in February that never happened. When I emailed her about this, I said I didn’t owe her anymore money and that this meeting never happened and that her billing has been ridiculous since day one and she couldn’t even be bothered to respond… This law firm seems very unprofessional compared to the other lawyers I’ve hired in the past and MUCH more expensive. Melissa that works for this law firm and handled the actual leg work of my case was on the other hand very impressive in court and I have no complaints about how she handled things in court.

Paula overcharged me. I only had a misdemeanor, but she charged for a felony. Otherwise, she did great
