This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

do NOT recommend

Had a 6-year case divorce case. The estate was worth about 9 million and ex was proven to have cheated with a working prostitute. Mrs Patrick dismissed my case, intending to refile, and did it WRONG. The opposing attorney told her TWICE that she was doing it the wrong way. As a result my entire case... was dismissed. I had to allow her to fix her mistake . The NC bar has already agreed she did indeed mess up. She lost the appeal and Rule of 60 (do-over) cases. As a result...I got nothing- no child support, alimony OR retirement. She has the least amt of liability insurance an attorney can get (100k) and NOTHING is in her name. I paid her over 50K- she had to do an appeal and rule of 60 for free. She now has several attorneys representing her, and their attorney fees are paid by liability insurance. She refused to settle or discuss a settlement. I never felt she had my back, intentionally put things off, and was a terrible advisor. We never had a meeting before mediation, she was never prepared, and always seemed lost when appearing in court, and was dominated by the opposing attorney. I do not recommend using her !
