Professional and Caring

I met Patrick when he was appointed by the court as the attorney for a juvenile who was the subject of a lawsuit between two parents, my ex and me. His job was to investigate the evidence given by both sides and then report his findings and his recommendation to the court regarding what was in the b...est interest of his client, the juvenile. Patrick was very diligent in his efforts, handled himself professionally, was available for questions and further information gathering on a reasonable basis, and made sure the evidence supported his final recommendation to the court. Neither side could refute his findings. I would highly recommend Patrick.

Exceptional Professionalism

Patrick Rice handled my case with due diligence in order to make sure that the outcome was desirable. I was fortunate enough to have him recommended to me by a friend and I could not have made a better choice. He worked tirelessly to be well prepared and he kept me informed I every step of the proce...ss as we went along. The legal knowledge he possesses and can easily obtain provided me with exceptional representation. His people skills were very well and we were able to settle the matter peacefully. The ability to calm situations can be a great asset. The case itself was very difficult on myself and family, but the process was eased with Patrick. I knew that my interests were his top priority. He was able to get the best terms in our agreement and kept everything professional. Patrick Rice is an exceptional attorney and you can't go wrong by choosing him to represent you!

Respectful Bankruptcy Attorney

Having to file Bankruptcy was the most stressful thing I have ever had to do--Mr. Rice was kind, professional and understanding. He went out of his way to make the process as stress free and smooth as possible. I would most certainly hire him for future legal needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
