Patrick Samuel Eidson

I would never recommend him! If you’re looking for a honest, dependable, and understanding lawyer, then do yourself a favor and look elsewhere! I hired Eidson for my divorce because I had to act quickly and I was misguided from the very start. His legal secretary named Alicia gave me legal advice, wh...ich she is not supposed to do, because he is never in the office. Long story short- I hired him for my divorce back in May because my ex chose to abandon the marriage. In the process, my ex had begun taking belongings (which were mine and purchased prior to the marriage) from our residence and pawning it to supply his alcohol addiction. I was basically told by the police on two occasions that until I filed for the divorce, he could continue taking items from the residence. So, under Alicia's advice, we filed an ex parte order so my ex would be ordered to return items he had taken. After I received my belongings back, a court date was set in June and in the meantime I was getting proof, receipts, etc. Not even two weeks later, I received a text from Alicia asking where I was? My ex had gotten a lawyer and they had moved the court date up, but did not inform me. I had not even had the chance to meet with Eidson to prepare before court or provide proof of anything. And really all I wanted was my dog. The day of court (which was the day I received the text), I rushed in, in a panic because I was not prepared at all. Eidson had already met with my ex, his attorney, and the judge before I even got there, so I never even had a chance to tell my side. And then I felt pressured into accepting what was offered which was visitation to our dog. Eidson acted as if it were absurd for me to want my dog and stated that it was silly for him to ask a judge for visitation rights to a dog. In that moment, it was clear to me that he did not care about my feelings or my requests at all. To make matters worse, Alicia was rude on so many different occasions when I would call to simply ask a question about my case. It was like once they were paid, they didn't care what happened. It’s been several months now and they still haven’t provided me with my official documents even after several requests. I was granted visitation rights to my dog; but none of that matters now because my ex took off with him to NH and even though he is in contempt on several things (because he didn't return all items), that would of course be more lawyer fees. To conclude- All they want and care about at the end of the day is your money! They could care less about your situation and helping find the best solutions for your individual case. I hope they reap what they sow one day!!!

My husband an I hired Mr Eidson and when it all started out it was great . Then it got to where no returned calls I gave them pictures showing there drugs being around the child those where never printed off . Basically he lost to a tax lawyer when this was a child case . And now I'm having to find a...nother lawyer cause the mother is homeless and strung out on meth . So thanks Patrick this child has had to suffer more all because you wouldn't do your job 4 years ago .........
