Great Attorney!

My divorce was not contentious, but I needed someone to look out for MY interests, after my now-Ex retained a lawyer and tried to pass him off as a mediator. I don't think there was any mal-intent going on, but I needed to make sure MY interests were being preserved. She listened to my desired go...als, where I thought there could be some negotiations, and she handled it from there. It's a stressful time, and was glad she was there to help me through it all. The outcome was as expected.

Dedicated Divorce Attorney

My divorce process became more contentious than I originally anticipated and Patrice provided excellent guidance throughout while efficiently managing my legal costs. She was professional and well prepared for our temporary support court hearing and was also very effective in final negotiations with ...my ex-husband's lawyer which led to a quick pre-trial hearing in front of the judge. She shows compassion without prying into personal matters and takes the time to evaluate the case fully to determine the best outcome for her client. I feel fortunate to have had Patrice by my side during this challenging time to represent me and protect my interests.

Amazing Attorney

Patrice was with me every step of the way when I was going through my divorce. She was receptive to my needs, but also was very pragmatic when it came to actual litigation. She never allowed me to have unrealistic expectations. Going through a divorce is a very emotional time and Patrice let me ha...ve those emotional responses, but also let me know what was and was not realistic.

Smart, warm, and honest

Patrice represented me in a collaborative divorce. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. She approaches divorce as a problem to be solved, rather than a game to be won or lost. She was constantly checking to see what I (the client) wanted, making no assumptions. I cam out feeling confident... and well-served.
