Great Attorney

He handled my case in a very professional and timely manner. He explained the process and kept me well informed. Definitely would recommend him to friends and family.

Excellent attorney

I consulted with Mr. McElhone about a small injury case that was, fortunately, not taken to court. He gave me excellent advice on how to proceed in settling things quickly and to my satisfaction.

Pat McElhone Legal Star

Pat was fair, hard working, and determined in helping me with my case. In my opinion, he is a star. If you need someone who will not stop and will be there for you, Pat is the man. I recommend him highly.

Pat is the MAN!!

Pat has been our family lawyer for years. He is responsive, thorough, and spoke with me many times on the phone and in person. He was great with our will and trust, and he has helped me navigate through another disagreement I had with my landlord many years ago. Pat has always been there for me a...nd my family, and I consider him a life-saver!

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.
