Nightmare, vacation

Patrick was not only extremely knowledgeable, and realized the obvious case of mistaken identity from the arrest report immediately upon our first in person meeting!! He was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for us. From our first meeting, he explained ev...erything in terms we could easily understand and was always very responsive when we had questions outside of our meetings. Needless to say, the case against my husband was closed quickly afterward in his favour!!! We would highly recommend Patrick to anyone facing wrongful criminal charges

I consulted Patrick Mcgeehan after my difficult divorce. He gave me excellent advice and guidance. He was very professional and compassionate and always available to answer my questions. He reassured my concerns about my rights for my three children. I feel very confident that he knows the laws well.... I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

The Best!!!

At the time, in 2008, I had been served with divorce documents and I found myself with nowhere else to turn and found myself overwhelmed with the situation and downturn of events. It was then that I was referred to Attorney Patrick McGeehan by an acquaintance. Attorney McGeehan took the adequa...te time to discuss what I was facing and clearly explained the options that were available to me. Eventually, the matter was confronted and resolved with Attorney McGeehan's expertise and dedication to my case. Attorney McGeehan was always prompt to answer and or return my calls or texts. He also always arrived early to court to defend me before a judge and in front of an aggressive opposing attorney. I was later faced with two other personal court matters of which Attorney McGeehan also defended me with those cases of which the results were advantageous and in my favor. I am truly appreciative of Attorney Patrick McGeehan's professional legal services and of course, I most definitely recommend him to help you with your unforeseen personal events which require his legal services. Thank you for all of your help and understanding with those cases Patrick... Freddie...

Highly Recommend

I worked with Patrick before he opened his law practice. I found him to always be hard working, dedicated and well versed in all areas we worked in. After he started practicing law, I had occassion to utilize him as my attorney in other matters, and have referred friends and family members to him, ...as well. He continues to be just as dedicated and helpful. I trust him implicity and would never hesitate to consult or hire him again.

Superman

Able to scale tall buildings in a single bound..? I'd say so! Honest, hardworking, & affordable. Patrick is the best trial attorney. He's a real life hero saving lives. Protected my whole family in a custody battle. Truth, Justice, and the American way.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Patrick and I worked on a case a few years ago each representing a spouse in a divorce. Patrick did his job and advocated strongly for his client, but was professional and we were able to ultimately settle the case. He is a tough litigator and someone I think a client can count on, but also seemed to look to resolve a case when possible without a court battle."
