Patricia M. LaFrance

I appreciated the opportunity to work with Patti and want to offer a balanced perspective for others who may be considering her services. In person and in the courtroom, Patti was always professional, supportive and pleasant to work with. Her office staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, whi...ch made scheduling and office communication a positive experience. However, my case involved complex interstate child support and custody issues and I ultimately found that I needed more responsiveness and legal strategy than I received. Communication was often difficult, as emails frequently went unanswered and it was sometimes challenging to reach her due to time out of the office. One of the most challenging aspects of my experience was a legal issue that I believed was clearly addressed in existing law and case law. I spent significant time (like hours, on hours) researching and sending relevant materials for review, but I did not feel that my concerns were fully acknowledged or explored. The position ultimately taken aligned with opposing counsel and the issue was not pursued further despite the information I provided. Since obtaining new representation, it has been addressed that my interpretation of the law was in fact correct, which was frustrating given the effort I had put into raising it sooner. Overall, while she was kind and supportive, I felt that more concrete strategy and follow through would have been helpful. For straightforward matters, she may be a good fit, but for complicated interstate custody or child support cases requiring frequent communication and detailed legal analysis, my experience suggests it may be worth carefully considering whether the fit is right.

Patricia (Patti) LaFrance esq. Is an amazing attorney. She did a very nice job laying out exactly what my expectations should be during my divorce. She quickly ascertained the nature of my case and the unique challenges that I was left to deal with. She is particularly well versed and known for her a...dvocacy in domestic violence cases. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised when our Judge knew her by first name and referred to her work when she was with the prosecutors office. The judge certainly seemed to value her legal arguments and opinions. Needless to say I got a more-than fair result in my divorce. If I should ever be in the unfortunate need for an attorney then Patti is the very first person I am going to call. Thank you Patti for your incredible effort. It made a big difference for my children and myself.

Patricia was hired to assist in appealing a denied claim filed with our insurance carrier for a large employee theft that occurred at my company. I had been battling back and forth for well over a year with our carrier before dismissing our current attorney and hiring Patricia. Patricia had the issue... resolved for us within a couple months and our claim was paid in full. She has also been assisting us with the ongoing criminal investigation of the former employee and has been instrumental in keeping a very slow process moving forward. Patricia is personal, smart and extremely competent. I'd highly recommend hiring her for your legal matters.

Patricia LaFrance has been an absolute savior to me over the past year. She was professional, considerate, compassionate, knowledgeable, and she worked tirelessly for me throughout my divorce case. Her guidance and support helped me through the process. Patricia was more like a friend to me than a...n attorney. She was there for me during the worst of times as well as during the best of times. She had a way of calming me during the most stressful times. I felt 100% comfortable with Patricia. Her knowledge, expertise, and down to earth manner made her a good fit for me. I highly recommend Patricia LaFrance for consideration as an attorney.
