a true Professional
I first Met Mr. Patrykus in his front lobby of his office years ago. We walked in together and I was unaware of who he was. Before I could ever be screened by an Assistant he asked how he could help. I could not believe a lawyer would talk to a potential client without being screened. He spent 30 minutes just answering questions and told me how to represent myself and that he would help me but I did not need to pay him for his services. He said I could represent myself in this case. I think I called him twice more for advice and he provided some insight for My wife and me. A few years later I remembered that when my son needed some help, Mr. Patrykus answered all our questions and set my son at ease. My son really had done nothing wrong but being younger was being pressured into admitting to something he had not done. Mr. Patrykus set my son at ease and was able to get to the facts of the case. He took a lot of the emotion out the situation and basically got both sides on the same page. The other side basically admitted they over reacted and apologized for the misunderstanding. Being accused of something , whether yourself or a Family Member can really get very emotional. The way Mr. Patrykus handled the situation made it into a learning experience for both Father and son. He never Judged my son, he simply Listened to my son. Over the years we have recommended Mr. Patrykus to people we know who needed help, he has helped them Both as a consultant and represented them in cases. all of the people we have recommended to Mr. Patrykus have been very happy with the services he has provided to them..

We definitely recommend Dan Patrykus
We hired Dan Patrykus when we needed a lawyer for an auto accident that we weren't at fault. He was very helpful throughout the entire process, and explained everything very thoroughly. We were definitely pleased with the end result of the case as well.
