Child support and custody

Absolutely terrible with communication and organization. Takes weeks to respond and has to be reminded of any changes and updates constantly. Not worth your money and is all talk and no action. Would never hire again.

All sales pitch, no action or knowledge.

I hired Patrick to deal with an HOA. His sales pitch was that their law firm could do anything together. Unfortunately for me, Patrick could do nothing by himself. Patrick wrote and received a couple letters for me. Every time I talked to Patrick I felt like I was talking to a wall because he had no ...clue what I was talking about since he refused to do his own due diligence. Funny how I paid Patrick to do due diligence for me and he could not do it. After Patrick took my money he sent me a letter stating that he didn’t have the “know how” to fight my case, like he told me when I first showed up. That, my lying friend, is false advertising. The one star review above is absolutely correct. Patrick Kelley you are a fraud.

Unresponsive with a weak reputation I only learned of later

Pat was convincing in his sales pitch, claiming to "fight" hard for me and be available even if it was "A million emails or calls". The reality is that he rarely returned messages, if at all, within a week. It took my leaving a voicemail restating the promise he had made to me before he began retur...ning messages, and that lasted only a week before tailing off once again. As for the actual proceedings, he was scared to go to court (I later learned why from others that had hired him). In the end, after 15+ years of marriage, I ended up with only a used minivan and a china cabinet that was my mother's, while she ended up with the marital residence, everything in it, more valuable car, everything in my garage, and everything else (including the kids) that was acquired during the marriage including my grandmother's wedding ring. Lastly (and this should be a red flag to anyone reading this), he sent an email that I needed to accept their offer and "get this over with" soon because he could not longer represent me due to a conflict of interest and I would have to represent myself if I didn't.... he was going to work at my ex-wife's attorney's firm.

Fantastic divorce lawyer

Patrick helped me with my divorce, and prevented my ex-wife from taking me for everything she probably could have. We went all the way to the end, and he was really helpful.
