-- Grandparent clients

Hiring Paula is the best decision I ever made!!!

My name had been put on the Central Registry for abuse and neglect basically over having a dirty house. The ramifications of this meant I couldn't work with kids, which is what my degree is in. I tried to have my name expunged, but the state people fed me some false information and my expungement was dismissed. I contacted Paula and she was able to see that I clearly didn't belong on the list and she knew exactly what needed to be done to have my name removed. She was upfront with me about what could possibly happen, and also with what she thought most likely. She was available any time I had any concerns. The day she called to tell me my name was being expunged, without having to go back to court, I think she was almost as happy as I was! I highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her if I ever run into any issues that fall under her purview again.

Five Star--Attorney Paula Aylward, "She Wins Cases"

I highly recommend Attorney Aylward for the following reasons: She is a great lawyer, straightforward, empathic to her client's situations, and a genius in the State of Michigan Protective Services and Family Law. I felt hope when I observed Attorney Aylward fighting for me in the most challenging situations. In every case Attorney Aylward fought strategically before the local courts up to the highest court in the State of Michigan. Attorney Aylward saved my freedom and livelihood by exposing public corruption and the abuse of authority by government-mandated officials.

"Simply the Best"

I was going through a very bad divorce and I was wrongly accused of some very serious accusations from my ex. I had lost my marriage, my home, my child and my job. You see, I am a teacher. And the parent of an amazing child! Paula was recommended to me and I consulted with her. She told me approximately how long this would take, what she needed from me and what she would be able to do. It was a process and I had to be patient. I needed to have my case expunged from the central registry fairly quick so I could obtain employment as an educator. She knew what to do, who to contact and dug deep. She kept in regular contact via phone, email or both to update me on my case. She was able to prove my case in my favor, the accusations were unfounded. She let me know that I would be expunged from the central registry and I should be getting a copy for my records. I could not have been happier with the results and her ability to work in my favor. Her services don't come cheap, but you get what you pay for. She would found ways to cut expenses and was willing to work with my budget. I would recommend her without a doubt! I put all my faith into her and she did not disappoint.

-- Central registry expunction client

I hired Paula Aylward to expunge a CPS record from 17 years ago. She did an amazing job of gathering all the facts, reviewing changes in the law, and reviewing errors made by CPS. She kept me informed at all times. She was able to get this off my record so I can proceed with my career and life without his hanging over my head. Thank you!

-- Central registry expunction client

She’s phenomenal!!!!

Paula is an amazing attorney! We received her name by chance from a friend. We met with her and gave her the details of our case. The rest of her work was done behind the scenes. She was in constant contact with with the prosecutor and our children’s attorney. She provided all of the legal info necessary to support our desired outcome. It was a long drawn out process and the end result was victory! I can’t say enough good things about Paula! We HIGHLY recommend her! She is worth every penny!!!

-- Adoption clients

We hired Attorney Paula Aylward to write a letter to the DHHS to request expungement from the Central Registry. Paula was professional, polite, timely and excellent with details. She emailed us and called us to update us on what she needed from us, and what she was working on. She is an excellent communicator. She was available when we had phone appointments set up for a specific time. Promptly replying to emails. She did excellent work summating the information we had provided. She used multiple resources like other books, studies, cases to show why the current accusations were incorrect and what is permissible by state law. She is very well experienced and very knowledgeable.

We are so happy we hired her and we highly recommend her services.

-- Sara

We do thank you for your time today and your excellent report. We appreciate your diligence in pouring over this case. You have been great to work with. We have so much respect for your years of experience in this area. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Paula Aylward and her Allegiant Legal team delivered an excellent base of professional legal council and care for our adoption case. Once we found Paula and secured her legal service, we began to establish peace of mind, knowing she would represent our fair interest with dignity and compassion. She stayed ahead of the proceedings, providing efficient filing and paperwork. She conducted thorough research ahead of hearings. We are confident that all possible was done to help secure our case. Paula is an exceptional attorney and we remain very grateful for her help.

-- CK, an adoption client

I will first start off saying my experience with attorneys has not been favorable. I’ve hired attorneys to handle issues within my business and I’ve had the worse possible outcomes and experiences. I was very leery to hire another although I knew I likely would not have received a favorable outcome without an attorney. When your middle class or poor your a victim of the system without the financial means to fight back. I hired Attorney Paula Aylward to contact DHHS for a phone conference meeting to request expungement from the Central Registry. Paula was very fair to work within my financial constraints. Paula was professional, polite, timely and excellent with details. She emailed me and responded immediately to my emails. She kept me updated on the status of my case and what she needed from me. She wholeheartedly believed I was unjustly put on registry and fought to get me off. Paula did an amazing job and the outcome on my expungement was granted. Paula even followed up with confirmation that I would get mailed an official copy that my name would be removed. She did excellent and I have absolutely no doubts she used all legal persuasion to relay the facts of my case to DHHS administrators to show why the current accusations were incorrect and why my name shouldn’t have been put on the registry to begin with. Paula is very well experienced and very knowledgeable. I am so happy I hired her and I received the outcome I had hoped for. I highly recommend her services especially If you have any type of family law, CPS, Central Registry, DHHS or similar legal issue. You can feel confident you are not just a file Paula will work hard to get you the best possible outcome and she will fully invest in your case. Thank you Job well done!

-- Central registry expunction client

Paula was amazing as we were adopting two foster children, one of which had Indian heritage, so therefore ICWA was involved. Not only did Paula prove the children were best suited to stay in our home, but she provided much needed information to the assistant prosecuting attorney, the judge on the case and others that were instrumental in the decision that the children could be adopted by us. She is an amazing lawyer that we would recommend to everyone!!!

-- Foster / Adoptive parent clients

Paula represented me in an appeal last year. There are truly so many positive things I could share about Paula's representation for my challenging case, but I'll highlight a few of the most important. For starters Paula agreed to take my case despite the time constraints; deadlines she had to work within. When I met her for the first time, along with my son, I felt cared about. She listened to my story with sensitivity and compassion. Further more, each time we communicated about my case I felt at peace. Paula was timely, very thorough familiarizing with my sizable case/documents; and competent with her argument before the apellet court. I have emense appreciation for Paula.

Best Attorney For A Central Registry Removal Expungement.

-- Central registry expunction client

“One of the best.” This review is way overdue. Better than 5 years ago now i contacted paula aylward in regards to a foster child that was in my care. He had been in my care since 2 month of age and he was now going on 5. He had been returned to bio mom several times and each time came back to me more abused, damaged and neglected then before. Mrs Aylward had agreed to meet with me, after i finished my story of this little boy i desperately looked for advise on how i could fight for him while the "system" did not. Not only did she take my case and helped me petition the courts and present my case she also presented such emotional support. I always felt like she was in my corner, guiding me thru the judicial system. Unfortunately my little boy was returned to his bio mom, it was not from lack of trying on my part or Paulas part, i can honestly sleep at night knowing i did everything i could to protect him, no regret. I have sinced moved out of state and no longer foster children. Last i heard of my little boy he had been taken away from his bio mom for child endangerment. I will always be grateful to Paula, not just for her legal services but the emotional support, caring attitude, and genuine concern she gave my case.

-- Foster parent client

“Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.” We hired Paula on a guardianship-custody case, she is awesome. She cares she is understanding. Paula takes the time to always be available and to listen to what you are telling her and she investigates like crazy to make sure not only does she have all the information but you do too. We could not have asked for anyone better and will refer her to anyone and everyone we possibly can. We can not thank her enough for all the effort she put into our case and the things she has done for our family.

“You Must Hire Her To Fight For You.” Paula was worth every penny to do the job I hired her to do. In the last five months she got every record possible to make my case possible to be a win for me. She is very personal and professional. I would totally recommend her for your case. Thanks Paula for everything you did for me. You are Awesome!!

-- Central registry expunction client

I hired a lawyer previous to Mrs. Aylward and I lost. I had been abused twice by a system that was flawed when it comes to falsely and unfairly being put on the central registry. I am a domestic violence survivor that Mrs. Aylward never gave up on and a new start to a broken life. If you’re looking for an honest and hard working lawyer look no further. She’s not just a lawyer she’s a great person. She won my unbeatable case

-- Central registry expunction client

We could not have asked for a better, more knowledgeable or professional attorney than Paula. She always acted on our behalf in a reasonable and dignified manner. We are truly grateful for her legal expertise and care.

-- Adoption client

Paula is the best lawyer you can find!!!

I am so glad I found Paula. She was so professional and knowledgeable of my case and was right on target with the way to handle it. As far as I'm concerned she went above and beyond, always caring and always there when I needed her, I never felt like she wasn't doing everything she could for me. Her advice was invaluable to me. If anyone asks me to recommend a lawyer Paula will be the one that I recommend I am forever in her debt!!

-- Central registry expunction client

Paula Aylward took my case regarding a central registry issue with the utmost concern and urgency. She proved to be a lawyer that was professional and yet caring. I was impressed with her attention to detail and her sharp mind. She was thorough in her preparation and put together strong and persuasive arguments that brought me the desired outcome in my case. It was comforting to know that she was experienced and could navigate me through this difficult issue. I also felt she was fair in the way she charged for her time. I have already recommended her to friends and would highly recommend Paula Aylward to anyone needing superior representation.

-- Central registry expunction client

Paula is an expert on central registry issues.

I don't know what I would have done or what my life would be like now if I hadn't found Paula to assist me with removing my name from the central registry in Michigan. I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs help with navigating through what can be a very intimidating and daunting process. I really can't thank her enough.

-- Central registry expunction client

Humanized me, made me feel important and not just a client.

Where do I start, Attorney Paula Aylward not only defended my case but she didn't judge me. I had to disclose personal things about my past. This lady never bickered or complain about the many phone calls and questions. She wasn't petty and charging me for everything she did. This woman is a great Attorney that has very good morals. She saw me a person and not a poor black, never questioning how I would pay her but jump on the band wagon for my defense. I recommend her to anyone who is a Foster Parent and need a real fighter in their corner. She knows and study the law. She don't only listen to you, she gives you good sound advice. I must thank Attorney Greenfield from Bay City Michigan for referring her to me! Paula I'm glad to have cross your path and I wish you the best in your business. We need more people like you! You Rock....

-- Central registry expunction client

An attorney with high professional standards. Paula was my attorney during my divorce with two minor children. She kept my goals at the forefront of her planning. She communicated with me, the other attorney, and the court regularly, on time, and efficiently. She kept everything on track and proceeding forward toward a final resolution despite the other attorney's lack of attention to detail and failure to return calls. Paula acted with a high degree of professionalism at all times. I would recommend her without reservations or hesitation to my closest friends and associates.

-- Divorce / child custody client

My husband and I are extremely grateful that we found and retained Attorney Paula Aylward. Not only is she considerably knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive, but she is also very compassionate, empathetic, and devoted to her clients. The time and care she has given to us and our case is extraordinary. Until we hired Paula, we didn't think anyone could understand what we were going through. She understood exactly how we felt and why, and fought extremely hard to convince others to do what was right. She is an excellent attorney, and an even more amazing person. We never would have imagined having this great of an experience with an attorney. We strongly recommend Paula to anyone looking to hire an attorney.

-- Foster parent clients

I started my divorce with an attorney who didn't specialize in any particular type of law. My attorney and the mediator tried to pressure me into giving up custody of my daughter and paying my wife nearly $800 per month in child support. They also tried to railroad me into agreeing that my home is worth twice the S.E.V., which is almost $50,000 more than the home was appraised for. I fired my attorney, walked away from the mediation and hired Paula Aylward. She had a big job ahead of her, but she rolled up her sleeves and dove into the information and documents to find out the facts. She advocated vigorously on my behalf and won. We signed the Judgment of Divorce today and I am walking away with full custody of my daughter, the home and the car. The truth always prevails, but you need somebody like Paula, who truly cares about justice and the truth to be your advocate and make sure the cream rises to the top!

-- Family / child custody client

I personally appreciated your skills at handling this [adoption] matter. Thank you for helping not only us, but the countless other families as outlined in your cv.

We really appreciate you so much, and I wish we could see you in person to express it to you, as words don’t do justice. Thank you for being the voice of the actual children in a broken system who seem to lose track of those children’s voices sometimes! You are angels in our book!

-- Relative caregiver / Grandparent clients

Thank you for fighting the system and trying to make things better for children and families! I admire you and wish you all the best in that fight. If only there were more people who care as much as you, we’d live in a much better and more just world.

-- Foster / adoptive parent clients

Woah that’s a lot of work! … I especially like how you pointed out what will cause the next delay? I hope he really hears all this and recognizes that he is keeping [our foster child] in limbo. Thank you for all you do for us and [our foster child]! Our gratitude is continually overflowing!

-- Foster / adoptive parent client

-- Relative caregiver / Grandparent clients

I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts in helping me through this past year, and for the best outcome I could have hoped for. You always displayed an exceptional degree of professionalism and consultation throughout my entire ordeal.

I realize there is a lot of behind the scenes work which I am not privy, and I appreciate your savviness and diligence in negotiating a successful resolution on my behalf. You were readily available and provided ongoing support and follow-up whenever I had any questions or concerns related to my case. I never felt like I didn't know what was going to happen because you made sure I had knowledge of everything pertaining to my case and every option was explained and understood.

I am confident that I would not have been able to achieve such great results with my case if it had not have been for your hard work. I cannot express how thankful I am for your personal guidance, professional service and dedication. If anyone comes to me with a similar problem, I will gladly and strongly recommend you.

-- Central Registry expunction client

Paula - We need more people like you involved in our system. We nominate you for the Supreme Court.

-- Relative caregiver / Grandparent clients

Thank you so much for your help! That is a great burden lifted off of my shoulders that I have carried for a very long time. I truly appreciate it.

-- Central Registry expunction client

Paula, I don’t know what to say. That is a true blessing, and I thank God every day for who I am, and what I have in my life. I cannot express enough gratitude to you. It was a honor and pleasure to meet and get to know you, and how personal you take your clients. I would not have wanted any other Lawyer in my corner, and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you very, very much.

With that said, you will come HIGHLY recommended to anyone asking me for, or about legal services. Thank you.

-- Relative caregiver / Grandparent clients

This is very encouraging. Thank you Paula! I’ve said it many times but I’ll say it again, none of this would be possible without you. We owe so much more than we have to offer to you. You are a true angel and blessing to our family and we will forever be grateful for you! You’ve changed the trajectory of [our foster son’s] whole world. Thank you isn’t enough, yet I can’t think of what else to say or do.

I know this is early in the stage but we hope you will join us when [our foster son’s] adoption has a finalization day. And I apologize in advance if I’m emotional. You literally gave our son something that no one else was willing to give, and that’s a voice and focus to be about him and now permanency. It still feels so surreal.

Thank you!!!

-- Foster / adoption clients.

You have been so helpful and so willing to guide us through this process. We know you have a lot on your plate, but yet you always seem to be there for us. We are grateful.

Thank you.

-- Relative caregiver / Grandparent clients

Paula: We want to sincerely thank you for that A M A Z I N G letter you wrote on our behalf. It brought tears to our eyes. We really appreciate your taking the time and making the effort to "state our case". We especially appreciate your personal testimony as to your frustration with and dismay in "the system." You very clearly outlined the history surrounding the issue and came to our defense in a most aggressive yet forthright manner. We only wish YOU had been the caseworker, supervisor and judge in these proceedings!

Paula, You are a special person with a big heart. Your advocacy for children who, through no fault of their own, have ended up on the margins is remarkable. We hope and pray that the blessing you have been to us and so many others be showered on you sevenfold. Health, Happiness and Success in the year ahead!

Dear Paula: just a quick note to let you know how satisfied I was with your services. I did not expect to receive the type of thoughtful and caring attention that you brought to my case. You were very professional and precise, yet you were still able to maintain an attitude of friendliness and warmth that took the edge off of what could have been a trying time. For that, I am extremely grateful.

Although I hope that I would not require your services again in the immediate future, if I did, I would not hesitate to employ you, as I know you would do everything in your power to assist me in the most efficacious manner.

Thank you again for helping me in the most trying of times, and I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

For me, a recommendation is composed of two parts:

Would I refer others to this person or business; and
Why?

With regard to attorney Paula Aylward, the answer to the first question is a resounding yes; I would not hesitate to refer others to Paula and her practice. As for the "why," one word sums up my answer: trust.

Attorney Aylward is exactly the advocate you want on your side.

-- Calhoun county client

Amazingly helpful!

Paula was recommended to me by another attorney because of her specialty in removing people from the central registry. She was so communicative and helpful, editing and sending back my expunction request letter more than once trying to get it perfect. I was placed on the registry for failing to report an incident that had already been reported, which Paula agreed was unfair and did everything she could to have my name removed - successfully! I’ll absolutely call her again by if I ever find myself, or anyone else I know, in a similar situation or anything that she specializes in. I 100% recommend her services, she’s amazing!

-- Central registry expunction client

Attorney Aylward is an excellent choice. She is very professional and at the same time very personable and caring. She is very diligent in getting answers and relaying info back to the client. She is very fair with her fees. Attorney Aylward will be my lawyer for years to come. I do not hesitate to recommend her.

-- Calhoun county client

Paula Aylward is a highly qualified lawyer who has demonstrated by the work she has done for me that she is knowledgeable, trustworthy, efficient, reliable, prompt, responsive and always up to date on those issues that affect and have an impact on her clients. I recommend her enthusiastically and unreservedly.

-- Kalamazoo county client

Ms. Aylward’s genuineness and empathy give her clients a security and peace of mind that eliminates their worry and stress. Paula demonstrates emotion and concern -- qualities that many lawyers forego after they practice for a time -- and completes matters in a timely and efficient manner. Her clients are her #1 priority.

-- Child care licensing client

Paula Aylward was exceptionally helpful in a difficult case and her advice was invaluable. She kept us appraised of progress and was professional in all her interactions with us and with the other party's representative. In the end, we did not purchase the property, which was a wise decision since it could have been a financial disaster. Exceptional advice from an excellent attorney. Highly recommended.
