Thankful

I don’t even know where to begin to tell the world just how efficient and effective Patrick Anderson and his firm really are. A few years back Patrick and his firm represented my son and had wonderful outcomes. During the process everything was explained not only to my son but to me also. Today my s...on was in front of a difficult commonwealth attorney and Willie Mejia was knowledgeable and efficient was prepared and won the case. So glad I trusted this law firm with the future of my son. If you are looking for fair, knowledgeable and a lawyer that will work for you don’t hesitate call them today!

Mr. patrick good lawyer

For over year me and wife wait in pain to find what happen to me from being said I assalted neighbor. First lawyer take our money and do nothing! We get many letters saying court date moved and lawyer not answer calls. We fire him and he say to me "good luck". We find Mr. patrick and ask to help. Was... angry at other lawyer that he did nothing. He agree to help but court moved again because was close. We agree. He does his work and neighbor says to police I did not assalt him. It was "mistake". Why so long for this? We know I did not do this. Fist lawyer did nothing and we wait in pain and Mr. patrick fix things. Bad time for me and wife but many thanks Mr. patrick for help. Very very happy and thank you very much

Highly Recommend

Law Offices of Patrick N. Anderson and Associates..... Highly recommend! Evelyn Mitchell was my attorney for a reckless driving charge I had last month. I was freaking out because I am in the process of getting a Security Clearance for a new job and didn't want this charge to jeopardize my career. No...t to mention, this is my 2nd reckless driving charge which Law Offices of Patrick N. Anderson and Associates assisted me on and got the charge dropped down to a speeding charge. Patrick and Evelyn understood my concerns and assured me that they will do everything in their power to get the best results. My reckless driving charge was dropped to a speeding charge and a fine of $100. Evelyn went above and beyond. She was very professional, honest, and trustworthy. She was a good listener and answered every single question I had. She is very knowledgeable of the field and was able to give detailed explanations/answers to my concerns. The overall experience was incredible. Evelyn went above and beyond to help me and did not just give up until I was satisfied. I cannot express how appreciative and grateful I am for Patrick Anderson and Evelyn Mitchell. I feel so fortunate to have worked with this law office. Thank you Patrick and Evelyn for everything!

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Anderson is an amazingly effective and truly gifted litigator and advocate. There is no problem too great or dilemma too difficult that Patrick cannot solve. Among journeymen lawyers, Patrick is universally recognized as a master. But, what really distinguishes Patrick as among the elite of trial lawyers is the warmth and compassion he brings in resolving the seemingly unsolvable legal issues that many his clients face. Gary Gerstenfield"

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.
