Paula Burnstein is an amazing Attorney for Family Law! My case is part of my messy story. I had a daughter with a mentally ill man, that believed he was Jesus. I lived on a compound and was able to escape with her. After 8 years he came back after me to get her. Paula fought the whole brutal way, so I could protect her. It was a tough case against lies and surprises. She was brilliant with all the different judges we had. Was super reliable and always answered all my crazy questions. She was very concerned for my whole families' well fare along the way and very patient. I would call her again in a heartbeat. She helped protect and kept our family together. Thank you Paula! We will be forever grateful! Anonymous

It is very difficult to maintain compassion and empathy while delivering tangible results for your client in a process that is, by its very design, oppositional, yet Paula Bernstein is the consummate professional who manages to strike just the right balance in such a trying time. She delivered an excellent outcome for me, while maintaining a level-headed, professional, yet caring, and realistic advisory role. I very much appreciated her style, restraint, effectiveness and flexibility. We communicated via email, phone, and in person, and she was always available, as needed. I enjoyed very much working with Ms. Burnstein throughout the stressful roller-coaster of my divorce, and while I obviously hope to never require her services again, I can wholeheartedly recommend her in the unfortunate event of a divorce.
