TESTIMONIALS
Paula Meyer Besler reported directly to me when I was President of Advocate Lutheran General Hospital and Children’s Hospital.
I hired Paula as my Director of Community and Health Relations because of her aligned values to the organization and an excellent track record in creating meaningful and collaborative relationships. Paula was an integral part of the leadership team. She has an excellent “can do” attitude and manages her time and resources to maximum utility.
Paula also had a passion in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion which she pursued her Certificate in Diversity Management in Healthcare to advance her acumen and helped her broaden her scope and extension of her work. In summary, Paula exceeds goals, makes a difference with measurable results and always does so with hard work, strong leadership, grace and impeccable work ethic.

I have had the distinct pleasure to work with and go to trial with Paula Meyer Besler on numerous occasions as my co-counsel both when she was an associate in the firm and later as my highly respected and accomplished partner.
Paula is quite simply an excellent attorney, an outstanding advocate for her clients and a true trial attorney. She has excelled at every professional challenge she has taken on during her career. She possesses the enviable combination of being very knowledgeable of the law, highly intelligent, having keen analytical skills, a passion for her work and a well-balanced common sense. Her excellence in her work combined with a high level of integrity and professionalism has earned her a high level of respect in the profession and beyond.
Paula has a strong empathy and passion for those in need and those who do not have a voice in our society which is reflected by the professional positions of leadership she has taken on during her career and her pro bono activities that she initiated and handled while at our firm. She is one of the best attorneys and advocates I have been privileged to know and at times been able to work with. I would recommend Paula highly and without reservation to any person or organization.
