Patricia Powers-Simonelli

Patricia was very knowledgeable, kind, and I appreciated her no nonsense approach handling a delicate situation. I felt I was in very good hands from the moment I met her, and she did not disappoint. I would not hesitate to recommend her to close friends or family and would not hesitate to reach out... to her again if I needed her legal advice and assistance.

Excellent Attorney

Patricia Powers-Simonelli represented me in a divorce. The marriage lasted decades and there were some assets. My ex and I had come to an agreement on the division of the assets, although he waivered back and forth. Pat listened to me, understood how I wanted the divorce handled, understood that I... did not want to be spending loads of time going over old records, coming up with budgets, expenses, going to court, etc. This was in complete contrast to my ex's attorney, who I felt wasted time, caused the completion of unnecessary paperwork, filed forms incorrectly, etc. Pat found errors in the legal papers and time frames that could have presented numerous problems for me. Pat is extremely knowledgeable and very efficient. She kept me posted via emails and was available beyond regular office hours. I appreciate that Pat respected my wishes to just "have it be done with". I believe Pat did a great job for me and definitely kept my budget in mind. I was very impressed with Pat and would use her again for legal matters and highly recommend her.

Mrs Patricia Powers-Simonelli

We hired Mrs. Patricia Powers-Simonelli for a very delicate family matter. She was very professional and knowledgeable on our matter, and also honest and supportive. Patricia was answering all our questions all the time. I would recommend Mrs. Patricia Powers-Simonelli with no hesitating.

Exceeded my expectations!

I retained Ms. Patricia Powers- Simonelli post divorce for parenting time and child support. Her knowledge of the field is exceptional and her fees are reasonable. She is a cut and dry, no nonsense kind of person and will tell it to you like it is. She was spot on when it came to knowing what the c...ourts generally award and why they do so. I 100%+ recommend her to anyone trying to get through the emotional process of having the court involved in deciding parenting time and child support.

A True Professional!

I had the honor and privilege to contract Patricia to handle both my Alimony Reduction and eventually the elimination of my Alimony. She worked not only for me, but with me, and was receptive to my feelings and ideas as well as her own. I found her to be a professional in all aspects regarding her ...efforts, knowledge, responsiveness, detail, and overall handling of my case. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to have their Alimony reduced or eliminated.
