Client Recommendations:

While working with Valerie Pawson on a full range of legal services for nearly 30 years, I have found her to be insightful, available and super-resourceful. Perhaps the characteristic I value most is Valerie’s willingness and ability to connect with our interests and values such that her representation balances our mood and selfish best interest. In short, Valerie has deeply engaged, enabling us to maintain the moral high ground, speak softly yet with conviction while occasionally expressing pitch-perfect moral indignation. Valerie doesn’t guess...when she doesn’t know an answer, she finds someone qualified who does. I know of no other corporate lawyer our family would prefer to represent us.

In my over 30 years as a client of Attorney Pawson I have found her to be the consummate professional. She is courteous, tenacious, brilliant, and a genuinely talented legal problem solver who sees the big picture as well as anyone and fully understands the full range of implications for legal outcomes as they affect a client's short and long term goals.

Valerie L. Pawson, Esquire has been our primary personal and business attorney for more than forty years. During these years we have been self employed, have had various businesses, done many different real estate deals, been sued, filed suits and negotiated several different difficult settlements. Always available, sometimes at short notice, no matter whatever else she was working on, she made time for us. Over the years we became close personally and she has offered personal advice to us during the occasional crisis situations that arise in a large family. In summary, we have enormous respect for Val's intellect, experience, level headed advice and obvious professionalism in all her endeavors and we acknowledge her input in so many helpful ways over these many years.

Valerie Pawson is not only a great corporate attorney; she is also a trusted business advisor. We rely on her vast and varied, legal and business experience to point us in the right direction when facing the complex nuances of today's business environment. Her reasoned approach has saved me on several occasions from charging ahead, when her well planned response has resulted in a better long term outcome for us. I would recommend her unconditionally.
