Patrick Hanifin

Patrick Hanifin of Gritz, Hanifin, & Shih provided us excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details related to one of our tenants that had stopped paying their rent. Patrick's attitude to the work he does not only saved us money by dealing with the situation ...quickly, but it also helped us to avoid other problems a landlord cannot foresee. I would 100% use Patrick and Gritz, Hanifin, & Shih in the future.

A DUI, DWI and 5 other traffic offenses (totaling 7 in all). I wasn’t guilty, and I knew only a very good lawyer could help me establish the facts, properly. I hired Patrick Hanifin and it was the best decision I made. Hanifin worked wonders and 6 of 7 charges were dropped. I only paid a fine for the... far lesser offense and the DUI/DWI were dropped. Believe me when I say he is reliable, consistent, knowledgeable about the law and very professional. To top it all, he walks you through the whole process, lays out the available options and gives sound advice. Hanifin is definitely a keeper. 5 star service all the way!

Patrick Hanifin won my case easily for a traffic violation cited against me due to an auto collision. He covered all of possible scenarios in our consultation before court so I felt confident about the options before going. The case ended up being extremely quick. The other driver as a witness couldn...'t identify me, and I believe felt a little nervous that I had counsel to represent me. The judge dismissed the case after my denial of the events, and I left within 20 mins. It was well worth the money to have Patrick. I didn't have to pay the traffic ticket, but more importantly I didn't have to worry about getting points on my license and my auto insurance rates skyrocketing.

First, I valued Patrick and their firm's proactive attitude. Just after my father, a Chinese traveler who doesn't speak any English was pulled over by a police and was requested to appear in a court. We received the firm's advertising mail, which makes me feel they work very hard. Second, they are v...ery sincere. Their quotes are most reasonable and won't let you feel that you are fooled. I called ten more lawyers and visit at least five about my father's issue, some of them make me feel this issue are very serious, while Patrick gave me a practical strategy that made me feel confident. What's more, their quote is very reasonable at the very beginning. Other lawyers gave me a very high quote and after bargaining, they said they would give me a 50% or more discount and trying to make me feel that I should be grateful for the discount. Come on, why don't give me a reasonable price at the first time just like what Patrick did? Third, they work very efficiently. I don't need to concern my case at all! I would suggest Patrick and their firm to every friend of me. They are more than helpful!

I found myself facing several somewhat serious motor vehicle charges, which would have added many points to my license, possibly lead to incarceration, or at the very least thousands in fines. I had never been in trouble before, and had extreme anxiety over the whole situation. Patrick Hanifin was ex...tremely courteous and good-natured, and he set my worst fears aside with his evident familiarity with this type of case. I was put at ease by his intuition about what the prosecutors and judges would be looking for. He clearly understands the nuances of defending against a list of charges with varying degrees of seriousness. I felt in very good hands. As it turned out, he was able to get the worst charges thrown out, and negotiated fines which were a small fraction of what I expected to pay. I couldn't have been more relieved at the outcome, or more pleased with Mr. Hanifin's performance on my behalf. Not only is he extremely competent, I told him he was a calming influence, as this case was very nerve-wracking for me. I highly recommend Mr. Hanifin. I am grateful to have had him in my corner.
