I found Paul Woodward at Schechter Benefits Law Group after being appointed administrator of my mother’s estate following her unexpected passing. Navigating probate was already stressful, but it became even more difficult when CalPERS attempted to pay the wrong beneficiary—ignoring a clear QDRO that directed payment to the estate.

Paul is a super communicator and very efficient. I would definitely recommend him.

My husband and I had the ultimate pleasure of working with Mr. Paul Woodard of Butterfield Schechter LLP. We had an issue with my husband's pension and an old QDRO that we could not get resolved on our own. Mr. Woodard worked meticulously, honestly, and resolved our matter expediently and fairly. Thank you for all that you have done for us Mr. Woodard and Butterfield Schechter!!!

Paul Woodard helped me recover money that was being confiscated by an unethical Guardian during a nasty divorce. Aren't they all! Something 2 other attorneys in my area were unable to accomplish. Paul is a pleasure to work with and I admire his professional ethics.
