Schechter Benefits Law Group

I needed a QDRO for a company pension plan. I worked with Michelle Ewing on that and she was awesome! She is very knowledgeable and kept me informed for the entire process. She was very responsive to my emails and a pleasure to work with.

I had the privilege of working with Paul Woodard, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Paul showed professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and genuine commitment to my case. He took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, making sure I felt informed and supported throughout. His communication was excellent, and I always felt confident knowing he was advocating on my behalf. Thanks to Paul's expertise and persistence my case was resolved successfully. If you're looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and highly skilled attorney, Paul Woodward is an outstanding choice.

Rare and valuable combination of legal expertise and real world options. Paul Woodard's depth of IRA law and ability to be a key part of an East Coast litigation team , outlined to the court a way forward in what had the makings of an unnecessary and lengthy legal maze Thank you Paul.

Paul Woodard did an excellent job for me. I had a QDRO that was prepared by another attorney but I needed to have her work checked and verified that all was in order. Paul reviewed the work and communicated very clearly with my ex and myself so that we were both satisfied with the QDRO. Paul also referred me to a trust attorney and that has also gone well. Paul is a super communicator and very efficient. I would definitely recommend him.

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. Despite my efforts to correct the error, they refused to act. The moment I retained Paul, everything changed. He stepped in with sharp, aggressive advocacy and treated the case like his own. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, CalPERS reversed their decision without the need for a hearing. Paul is a rare attorney—dedicated, strategic, and relentless. Worth every penny.
