Wonderful person to deal with

When I became involved in a complicated eviction case I turned to Patricia for help. She spent a lot of time educating me and I found her extremely compassionate and very knowledgeable. She is a marvelous attorney and person and I do not hesitate to recommend her services.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

""PK" is a great lawyer and a good person too. She is knowledgeable in many areas of practice, but I have especially valued her opinions on bankruptcy cases and have never hesitated to refer bankruptcy clients to her."

Litigation lawyer | Jun 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known PK for awhile. We met defending protesters in Madison. She not only is a great lawyer but has great management skills as she helped organize and maintain 50 lawyers (all from different firms) in a co operative defense association. This was not her primary area of practice, but she did an excellent job. I would wholly trust her to handle any matter involving myself, friends, or family."

"I endorse this lawyer. She is very professional under trying litigation circumstances. She is very knowledgeable about complicated divorce issues and she will fight until the end of trial to get a client what he or she needs. She is also very experienced in the area of bankruptcy and debt relief."

Litigation lawyer | Mar 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer because I've had the opportunity to see her tireless work, effort and strategic wisdom in litigating several civil cases related to citations issued to peaceful protesters by the capitol police. Attorney Hammel went above and beyond in not only handling her client's cases with skill, but also providing guidance for many defendants who were not able to obtain counsel and helping the coordinate the legal strategies of many attorneys."

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.
