One of the Best Family Law Attorney's in the city

Pat has been my go-to attorney for years following my original divorce.( I wish she had represented me then too, and perhaps, I wouldn't have needed any further trips to court). I retained her originally based on a recommendation from someone else who'd used her. Boy, were they right! My experience h...as been that she is supportive and knowledgeable. She listens. She also allows you to vent, explain, cry, get angry, or whatever it is that you need, while providing the solid legal expertise that is necessary to 'win' your case( Family Law has no real winners- but she gets as close to a win as possible). Pat allowed me to make my own decisions about the case but also knew when I needed to be pulled back into reality. I would recommend her to anyone who has a family law situation. I am just saying, if my case didn't make her retire--- she is battle tested-- and can handle anything and anyone! She knows the law and the legal system so she will use it to her best ability to get the outcome that is right for you. One of the best there is...

efficient, diligent, knowledgeable

Ms. Grove helped me through a difficult case involving my children. She not only exceeded in the legal aspect of this case, but she was emotional support for me as well. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an efficient, diligent, and knowledgeable lawyer!

Represent yourself

Pat is generally a nice person. But when it comes to fighting your case, she will not stand up to the plate. When the case goes to trial she fails to remember details about the case. You would constantly need to remind her about specifics in your case that she should have kept records of. I found mys...elf representing myself, she did not stand up for me in the court of law when the circumstances required her to. She misled me and misinformed me about handling certain situations. NOBODY wants to feel underrepresented in front of the judge.

"Over the years, I have seen Attorney Grove at work in the courtroom, and her success on appeals. Her advocacy, in court and on appeal, is excellent, thorough and right on point. She knows the law and how to get a great result for her client."

Family lawyer | May 06

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Attorney Grove can best be described as a "lawyer with a heart". I have had the privilege of working with Attorney Grove over the years as both opposing counsel and as a business partner. She is extremely competent and professional. Her knowledge of the law is top notch. She fully assesses each individual case to determine whether it requires a collaborative approach or litigation. Her greatest strength is her empathy and compassion for her clients. If anyone makes a reference or poor joke as to self serving attorneys, they have never met Patricia Grove. The client's needs are always top priority. Any client retaining her will know that she will put her heart and soul into protecting and advocating their rights."
