Testimonials
Paula has been a very active advisor with 20 Under 20. Since becoming an advisor with us she has been very thorough in her participation and outreach with fellows. She has also volunteered her time to look over legal documents and serve as an office hour provider. I look forward to her meeting and contributing to our new class of fellows.
Danielle Strachman
I’m thankful for having been referred to Paula. I had a request that normally would take days for proper assistance but Paula was able to help sort out my situation overnight. She is well versed in startup companies and does not hesitate to immediately help make a difference however she can.
I would encourage any startup organization to seek the support of Paula before anyone else.
John Marbach
Paula is absolutely amazing! She stepped in during a very volatile time for me and has proved herself to be an amazing leader, problem solver, and even more so, she is personable! Her work and skill speak volumes to just how dedicated she is to helping solve issues that the normal person may seem baffled by. She wastes no time in finding solutions to problems and implementing measures to fix the them. I am truly grateful I found Paula when I did, her dedication to her clients have proved to be invaluable! I highly recommend her, and she will always be my go to person.
Lesia Farmer
Paula is a real go getter. I worked with Digital Law for about 5 years from negotiating my contracts to filing my trademarks. She went out of her way to help settle a case for fractions of what other companies had to pay. Jessica and Paula, are a good team that collaborates together to find the best outcome for your case. Paula also understands my company and connects me with projects that help us both.
Vince Offer
Paula is an excellent business attorney and a close friend. As an attorney, she is knowledgeable, tough-minded and extremely responsive. She has helped me write contracts, dispute contracts, protected me from fraud and defended my business and my family. As a friend, she is deeply caring and a helluva a lot of fun to be around. I recommend Paula without reservation as an attorney, and, if you’re lucky enough, as a friend.
Mark diTargiani
Paula is an inventor’s advocate and a necessary part of their protection plan. In my capacity as a writer and speaker to the inventor community, I see too many horror stories of things gone massively wrong. Paula is not only skilled in helping to prevent rookie errors but likely able to assist in repairing . Inventors, please share your stories and lessons with Paula and with others so she can help make inventing safe and profitable.
