Pat Grove will successfully steer you through the Storm of Divorce

Next to the birth of our children, among the happiest moments in our life is when we fall in love and get married. If only we could stay married and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, life is not a fairy tale - Trust me, I know. If you find yourself at the crossroads in your relationship, and yo...u know in your gut that you need to seek representation in a divorce, you better 'lawyer up' with the best, because it's going to be a very bumpy ride. You need a strong, rock solid advocate in command - Pat Grove is that attorney. When my divorce first began, I was seeking the best attorney I could find. I asked a good friend of mine who he would recommend. His answer - My ex-wife's attorney, Patricia Grove. There are few things worse in life, than going through a divorce; It is an emotional roller coaster. Divorce will test your mettle, and you must become 'battle hardened' to endure the process - believe me. You absolutely must have an attorney that is a proven advocate. Your attorney must also be respected by the Court and other attorneys - Pat Grove is that person. Pat will steer you through the storm of divorce, and you will emerge on the other side. There is also a beautiful life after divorce. You must do everything she says, because she knows. Pat will also be there for you post-divorce. Pat has been my divorce attorney for over fifteen years. We just emerged from a second storm over child support issues. I am once again reunited with my children and looking forward to our new beginning - I have Patricia Grove to thank for this, and I am eternally grateful for her counsel. If you get married - Try to stay married. As a husband or wife, If you must get a divorce, Pat will have your back - Always.

Great Person for the Job!

Pat helped me through a custody case and I couldn't have imagined going through it with anyone else! She was very good at explaining everything that was going on and everything that was going to be happening. She listened to my sometimes frantic phone calls and I always felt more at ease after talkin...g to her. The thing that I loved most about Pat was her concern for my child, I always felt like she had his best interests at hand and that she truly cared about him. Even now that my case has been settled she still asks about him, which shows me just how much she really cares about who she's representing. I have recommended Pat to numerous other people, and will continue to do so because she is an amazing lawyer!

Very Professional, Respectable and Trustworthy Attorney

Attorney Grove has been a pleasure to work with over the past year. She has not only helped my husband with a difficult child placement and support situation, but has looked out for him, providing legal and emotional support. During a time when it was hard to stay positive, Attorney Grove always show...ed us the light at the end of the tunnel, and we are forever grateful we selected such a professional and compassionate attorney to represent us.

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!

"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."

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."
