Thorough, excellent family law attorney

Rhonda was my second attorney and has guided me through a very contentious divorce including a complicated child custody dispute. She paid close attention to all of the details I communicated wth her and always had sensible advice not aimed at continuously heightening the legal battle, but trying to... resolve things in the simplest and most fair manner. She did not always tell me what I wanted to hear, but instead what I needed to hear. She is fair, compassionate and understands the local courts, judges and the likely outcome of suggested legal steps. Rhonda is excellent at what she does. Even through all of the complicated issues I have had in my divorce proceedings, she has kept the details straight and I am so appreciative to her. I ultimately was awarded primary physical and legal custody of my children and will be forever appreciative to her for that.

Excellent Attorney

Rhonda is an EXCELLENT attorney and worth every dime. She works hard for her clients, has a very thorough understanding of not just the law but how the court system works. She makes every effort to ensure her clients understand both sides of the options presented in an effort to help them make info...rmed decisions. She works tirelessly and is dedicated to helping her clients receive the best outcome possible in very difficult circumstances - in my case, a divorce that included a custody dispute. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so. She is excellent!

Awesome and efficient attorney

Attorney Patterson was a magnificent force in negotiating my child custody and divorce proceedings for me. She was the perfect in between that I needed when my previous lawyer failed me. I was extremely happy and satisfied with the thorough services she provided. She is proficient in her legal advice... and the legal proceedings and she paid close attention to every detail. I was very thankful to have hired her and would recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Best lawyer ever.

I hired attorney Patterson to represent me in an international child custody and divorce, at first I was little bit frustrated because it was my first time going to court and the long process so I didn't had an idea, but with my attorney, I won all the permanent custody of my son and they divorce she... knows what she does, slow but sure, hire her and just sit back and relax no worries also her fees is very reasonable compare to other lawyers.

Rhonda is great! Highly recommended

Rhonda works quickly and she gets the job done, not to mention and she's affordable. I was feeling kind of helpless and lost when my ex filled for full custody of our daughter. The attorney I had before Rhonda was horrible and my ex's attorney shut our argument completely down. That's when I knew th...at I needed a BEAST in the courtroom that's when I was referred Ms Rhonda Patterson. We met, I told her my side of things and what I wanted to happen as far as custody and child support and she made it happen! I didn't have to harrass her or try to hunt her down trying to find out things regarding our case because she has stayed on top of everything from start to finish and she made sure that I was kept updated on all paperwork and approaching court dates! Rhonda is definitely a great family / divorce attorney to have on retainer!
