I used Patrick for my divorce case. From the very first time I talked to him over the phone, I knew that I was going to have a great attorney. He explained things and made sure I knew what was to come. Even if it was something I didn't want to hear, he told me anyway to make sure that I knew what could happen. Turns out, he was right about all that he had told me.
Patrick stayed in close contact with me and updated me often to make sure I knew where my case was. He worked very hard to get me what I deserved and wanted.
We had a chance to settle that morning before court. I wanted to settle it to just have it over with but Patrick knew that I was cutting myself short and fought to get me what I deserved. My case unfortunately wound up in front of the judge. This to me, is where Patrick shined the most. He's very very good at his job and that was evident during the trial. Not only did I get what I had asked for, I got more. All thanks to Patrick.
In the future, if I ever have to retain an attorney again, he will be my go to guy. I was very pleased, and have already recommended him several times.
Patrick handled a child custody case for us. He did a fantastic job. Patrick is very thorough and he kept us informed every step of the way. We were very impressed with him.

Patrick Shepherd
Patrick was concerned, informative, and full of sound advice from the very beginning of the consultation and then all through the divorce process. At no time did he ever leave a meeting with an open question or at least not having a plan of action.
Patrick was very thorough, always prompt with responses to my questions, and his follow up procedures leave nothing to be desired.
Patrick's knowledge of the law is without question and his ability to translate the law into layman's terms put me at complete ease from our very first meeting. Even from the consultation he was prompt to point out all the steps that the case would take and how we would address those issues.
Patrick also has an uncanny ability to make you feel comfortable and is gregarious by nature.
Going forward Shepherd Law firm will represent my personal and estate needs as the firm handles a variety of legal cases. I could not have been more pleased with their service, nor with the outcome of my case, all to the credit of Patrick.
