Patricia and her Paralegal Jennifer were on the case from the start. They communicated effectively and often. I always knew what was going on. The process was explained clearly to and I have never been through something like this before. I knew going into court what to expect. We got the max dollar. ...I got Patricia's name from a highly influential and powerful person who used her services. I would highly recommend Patricia and her team to anyone.
