Professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

There is nothing easy about about the divorce process. However, we are both very happy with Pat and all of her efforts through that very difficult time. Pat immediately put us both at ease and was a excellent guide throughout the process. Pat’s calm and patient personality made each of our sessio...ns very productive. The cost was fair and precisely what she quoted us. The final product was well written, concise, and captured everything we communicated to Pat.

Great!

Pat was the perfect combination of professional and friendly. She was efficient with our time and patient to answer any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend her for mediation services.

Fair and balanced

Pat performed the role of mediator and prepared our divorce/separation agreement. She has command of the laws and issues and presents them in a clear and concise way. I think she treated each party fairly and help negotiate a solid agreement.

Divorce Mediation

My ex wife and I used Pat to mediate our divorce. Pat made a difficult situation easier to handle. She came recommended and I would recommend her as well.

Personal injury case - great results.

I worked with Pat on a personal injury case in which I was hit by a car while jogging. I contacted her and she was extremely efficient with the casework, kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and I felt very confident about the case in her hands. She responded to voicemai...ls and emails within just a day or two. I am glad to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone in the North Shore Massachusetts area considering a personal injury case.
