Professional Counsel

I originally consulted with Patricia and then engaged her once I had made the determination that I would move forward with a divorce. I found Patricia to be very responsive, professional and she consistently assured that I understood the process and what the implications were when alternative paths a...nd/or positions needed to be decided upon. She would also provide her thoughts as to what direction to take which I appreciated immensely. Most importantly, she always gave me the sense that she truly cared about me and my situation and that she was always looking out for my best interests. I found her to be a strong but fair negotiator and very capable in assuring that initial agreements made, between the parties, were translated appropriately into the formal documents. I am extremely happy with the way Patricia and her staff have handled my divorce. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of family matter legal counsel.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
