Christine Danave Patterson

I was served a summons for a hearing with very short notice. My ex was making an unfounded and misguided attempt to reduce the parenting time I have with our child. I hired Christine, and from the beginning she was comforting to me and a strong advocate for my child's rights, and my rights as a fa...ther. This sort of situation is extremely stressful and anxiety inducing. She let me know what I needed to do to look my best. She negotiated strongly and fairly with the other attorney. She gave me the confidence to remain calm and collected throughout three hearings. The result was that I not only didn't lose any parenting time, but we achieved a true 50/50 shared placement agreement, which is the most fair for everyone involved. Christine is knowledgeable, confident, and knows what is fair. I would work with her again in an instant if the need arises.

From the first meeting with Christine she was open and honest. She answered all my questions, explained what could happen and what we should do. This was a very stressful time in my life, as it was my daughter who was in the middle of this divorce. Christine realized how much I needed nothing to c...hange for her. She not only went above and beyond for me she did this for my daughter as well. I truly appreciate the time and effort Christine put into my case for us. Her help, patience and understanding helped make this difficult time a little easier and less stressful.

Christine Patterson represented me in a child custody case in the state of Rhode Island. From the first phone call, I was made to feel comfortable and was walked through every step of the process, in a way I could understand. She not only represented me in court, but advocated for my son and kept his... best interest in mind. She kept me updated and informed every step of the way and handled my case respectfully and with compassion, she even made it a point to check in on my son. Patterson made an extremely stressful and trying situation, as comfortable as possible. Her professionalism, vast knowledge, compassion and drive for justice, all factored into my experience and results.
