Shouldn't be allowed to practice law.

Patrick Ford took $5000.00 from me to represent me in a criminal case. I was extremely nervous and anxious about the possibility of going to jail. This so called attorney will not answer your phone calls. I fired him after 4 months and he refused to refund any monies. I ended up going to jail for two... years for a crime I didn't commit. I am now out and I am seeking legal council to attempt to collect my hard earned monies that this attorney "stole" from me. Do not hire this man.

Recommend

I highly recommend Mr Ford. He not only was extremely helpful in handling a difficult case for my daughter but he actually did it with care. I think finding a good lawyer is very possible but finding a good lawyer who also cares is a rare occasion.

Excellent Attorney- Dependency

Patrick is very reliable, honest and dependable. He is always there when you need him. I would highly recommended him to anyone. He was able to get my daughter home in a timely manner.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
