I can full heartedly say that I have not seen my 3 kids, in large part because of hiring the wrong lawyer. It’s how been 9 years since I’ve seen them. After filing the wrong category of document, As soon as the case was dismissed, Paul said, “Why didn’t you tell me she was withholding the children from you?” I did! I submitted all the proof and my written statement which “he” edited was pretty clear. (I’m assuming the assistant did it then?) But even before that. When I was explaining to him how the divorce happened. (How am I to know what info was important or not) That she altered the divorce documents, she wouldn’t let me see my kids etc. To which he said, “If you want to talk about it, it’s fine, but I charge by the hour.” He then kept postponing the courtdate. 2-3 times. As in, it would go to court, he would ask for an extension. But was charging me for each time. I just wanted the judge to see See the proof. To read the altered divorce decree which was illegal. (It saying Pro se, when a lawyer had helped her) It was altered a month after we signed our original (alterations can’t be made within 3 months). In the first it was amicable. Where we split everything equally, no alimony, joint custody- then to the extreme where she gets everything we own, all our savings, my 3 kids, 110% of my 70hour a week pay check. Plus it says, I can never date, never get remarried. Never go back to school. Go to a church she chose. Confess every sin. Go to a men’s meeting weekly. Go to counseling. And IF I keep the list perfectly, then after 6 months, I can see the kids in person. Before that. Phone calls and mail once a week is allowed. I submitted the proof that she stopped all phone calls for two years. And returned all Malik. Her reasoning according to the mediation I recorded. “It’s best for kids to have one set of parents.” I provided the couselor’s witness statement when she said, “I know you’d never hurt the kids emotionally or physically. But I fear for their spiritual safety. I don’t want them going to Hell because they have a dad who struggles with sin. I’ll do anything to keep them from you. Even lie and accuse you of pedophelia. (Which she did later in court, along with prostitution, beastiality, homosexuality… and I think there was one more in there.). To me it was an open and closed case. But I never got justice. I didn’t even get a chance to tell my side to the judge on a single matter. I have it all recorded. It was remote , due to Covid. If you want to see the ridiculous divorce document. It’s Manderson VS Skeffington whatcom county. Anyone who reads it should be able to see. All I wanted was a judge to see it.

Well organized firm, thorough, experienced, and professional. Paul was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He put me at ease throughout a difficult and stressful situation and kept me updated and informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Paul Richmond and his team!

Hiring Paul Richmond was one of my best decisions I have ever made. He was exceedingly attentive, never left me in the dark wondering my next step, always returned my calls and emails in a very timely manner, and his paralegal Gretchen was always happy to answer the phone and always very helpful. Whenever I was worried about my case, talking with him always made me feel better he has extreme knowledge of the law. I am so thankful I found Paul to be my attorney and truly do not think I could have found anyone better for my case. I would highly recommend anyway with legal issues to hire him.

After MONTHS of trying to find someone who would work with a dear friend of mine on a serious matter with short time constraints, Paul not only was willing to help quickly but efficiently. Himself and his staff do everything possible to reach out and keep us informed as things progress day to day. Very thorough and extremely knowledgeable on every question we presented. I will always recommend Paul and his team! Well worth every moment spent!

I'm giving this review before my case is even over. First of all, I searched for days. Calling and showing up at attorney's office's, for them to turn me away or refer me to attorney's miles away. I found Paul Richmond Law through google. I had emailed Paul one night. It was very late. The next day I was on a mission to find an attorney. It was around 10am or so when I had lost all hope. My phone rang and it was Paul Richmond attorney at Law. I told him briefly what I needed, and without me hiring him; he was on the case. He emailed me with things about Washington law and told me what I needed to do. After a few moments I headed to his office and Paul was still sending me things and calling me to see if I wanted his services. And if I understood what my rights where. I did hire him as my attorney. He is very straight forward. He doesn't beat around the bush. I believe he is very passionate at what he does and he works on your case like you are part of his family. I haven't even went to court and no matter what the outcome will be. I know Paul gave 110% toward me winning my case. I also forgot to mention his paralegal, Gretchen. She as well has the same passion. If you read my entire review. Than don't hesitate to hire Paul for your legal matters.
