"I have been a client of Wilson and Pettine, and Paul Pettine, since 2007. I was, and am, involved in a very difficult paternity matter regarding my son. My case was highly contested and involved two custody evaluations and a move away to Texas, together with attempted alienation by my son's mother. My childs mother had significantly more resources than I. From the beginning, Wilson and Pettine was forthright about their fees and estimated costs of the case. They worked with me regarding payment and were always understanding about my financial situation. Wilson and Pettine helped me obtain sole legal and primary physical custody of my son. They were not only concerned for me, but truly for my sons well being included. Paul Pettine, as well as the entire staff, provided us with a level of care and professionalism that I would expect from such an experienced and dedicated law firm. I highly recommend Wilson and Pettine, and regularly do."

•"It was with great interest that I read a recent Google review post on the Wilson & Pettine web site. I have been a client of Wilson & Pettine, and particularly Paul Pettine, since 2006. My case was very contentious and complex, involving a business, separate property claims, fraud issues and child related matters. I have two children and currently have sole legal and physical custody because of Wilson & Pettine. Right from the beginning Wilson & Pettine was up front and realistic regarding the potential fees that I could be facing. Their fee estimates were correct and their analysis of the case proved accurate. All the attorneys at Wilson and Pettine handled my initial divorce matters in a professional and exemplary manner. During my initial divorce matter, I was involved in a child custody evaluation which is extremely complicated and emotionally draining. The attorneys guided me through every aspect of the procedure with the skill and support that only highly experienced professional are capable of. They strategized and executed how best it would be for my business to survive during the divorce and helped me keep my business during the property division. Most importantly, they understood the financial aspects of divorces, even recognizing there may be fraudulent accounting issues by a third-party accountant. Post-judgment they helped me negotiate the difficulty of custody/visitation issues, eventually leading to sole custody of my children. I have recommended many friends to Wilson & Pettine and have never heard an ill word about their ability or handling of a client. In my business I interact with many attorneys on a weekly basis and few have shown the professionalism and dedication to their clients that Wilson & Pettine does."

•"I have been working with this law office for almost a year and I couldn't be happier! The entire staff has been loving and supportive towards myself and my family. Several of my co-workers, my friends, as well as my parents have had interactions with this law office and they are ALL incredibly impressed with the professionalism and caring people who work there. If you want the best go with Wilson and Pettine!"

•"For the first time in over a year and half and several attorneys later, I have an attorney accompanied by a team of support staff that is not only phenomenal at their job but return calls, are accessible, and care genuinely about their clients. Before Paul represented me, I was at such a loss with the first two "highly recommended" attorneys. I was underrepresented with the first, and then overcharged with the second without moving forward. Paul has demonstrated genuine results and clearly knows what he is doing. My only regret was not finding Paul sooner, but glad I had the bad experiences if for nothing else than to have complete faith in this firm now knowing the differences. I have actually seen more progress in the last two months than I have in the last year and a half. Paul may not have restored all of my faith in the legal system but now I am beyond confident that he will do all he can within his power to see that I am properly represented and am treated as fairly as possible in a clearly inequitable legal environment. I thank Paul and the firm for their fearlessness and willingness to not only take my case but put all of their heart and soul into it."
