WE WON!

Over the past 50 years I have hired a number of attorneys to represent me in business and on personal matters. I can tell you Patricia is one of the best litigators I have ever used. Thanks to her experience and skillful legal knowledge she helped us win a protracted family battle over a family trust... mater. I highly recommend Patricia!

Experienced, responsive and knows her stuff

I've worked with Pat for many years. We first met with her to write our wills. She brought up things we hadn't considered, like property deeds, and helped us get those in order. She's very responsive to emails and calls. She's professional AND friendly! I definitely wouldn't call anyone else. Highly ...recommend!

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.
