Help in the Middle of the Night

Mr. Mulligan made all the difference in my case. Through his yellow page ad, I was able to reach him in the middle of the night, after my ex-wife had me falsely arrested for Domestic Violence Verbal. He was prompt in coming to my assistance. He went out of his way to help reach my family so that the...y could get me released from holding. He answered all my questions and walked me through the entire process. He was able to get the results I was hoping for at the pre-trial, so that we did not actually have to go through an actual trial. Mr. Mulligan exceeded all my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation. He was a Godsend for me.

My 13 year old daughter could have done better

You may hire L Patrick Mulligan initially but he won't be the one handling your case, it will be one of his lackeys who is completely incompetent. I hired this guy in 2014 for a DUI, he appeared once for me briefly. The next few times his lackey started showing up. When it came do to thyou plea h...is lackey told me the prosecution accepted to reduce to wreck less op. When I went before the judge the prosecutor told the judge my lawyer was wrong there was no deal. I ended getting no deal and was hit hard for a 1st dui conviction. My daughter who was 13 at the time could have done better. What a joke.

Extremely negilient, careless, arrogant

During my case he did not prepare for the trial, did not produce or made an effort to collect any evidence, neglient during the trial signed the paper without even talking to me about it,. Did not even return the calls I made to talk about the trial.

Arrogant and late for trial.

I was offered a plea deal in return for a six month sentence with work release on a misdemeanor charge. Mulligan refused and said we were going to take it to trial. The night before the trial, his assistant called me on the phone and said that we were going to take the plea and I’d probably have ...to do a few weekends in jail. The day of the trial Mulligan was 30 minutes late and the judge was aggravated -I agreed to the plea and was promptly handcuffed and lead away to jail with no work release! -I was better off taking the prosecutor’s offer than hiring Mulligan! -Then I sat in jail for almost a month waiting for Mulligan to secure my work release as the prosecutor originally offered.

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.
