She carries my highest recommendation!"

"Paula Aylward drafted an SD response brief for me on an auto neg case with underlying dec action, 3 insurance companies arguing over who provides the coverage. One insurance company, with the largest policy argued permissive use, priority, coverage, choice of law, step down, etc. Paula did an awesome job on the brief, and we received the opinion and order today where the judge adopted all of Paula's arguments right down the line. This makes a $150K difference to my client keeping the largest insurer in for their full policy limits. A Public "thank you" to Paula and I would highly recommend Paula if anyone needs similar help in the future."
-- Michael Dungan, Esq., Jackson, Michigan |

"As a sole practitioner, time for legal research is a luxury that I rarely have. I wrote on listserv that I was looking for a legal researcher. Paula's name came up repeatedly. I called her, went over my issues on the phone and then emailed her detailed information on the issues. What I got back was truly masterful. Paula left no stone unturned and thought of issues to address that I hadn't thought of on our initial contact. Great work!"

Paula's vast experience in drafting briefs was indispensable.
