Posted by anonymous | July 10, 2026 | Hired Attorney

Unprofessional

Hired Mr Patterson, paid some down, then payments after that. Always was kind of treating me as inconvenient, never respectful to me as client as well. I missed a payment once, but adorable payed next time. Finished paying him in full, and he continued representing me. In divorce. And then one day ...just out of the blue in a phone call , he told me that he didn't want to hear me complain about how much it was going to cost if the case went to trial, and I was blown away by these comments and how he was treating me. And I believe it was because the other party in my case was being hard to deal with. Regardless of the reason\nI confronted them and told him that he was being very disrespectful to me.When i've been a good client. And then he just said, you know what I'm withdrawing from your case.\nAnd then continued to call me an awful person! And then came up with a lame excuse that he was withdrawing from my case because of nonpayment. After the fact that he was paid in full and still representing me. I suggest finding any other attorney that you possibly can find, because if you want an attorney that's going to be respectable to you with compassion, I wish you the best of luck.

Avvo Rating

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.
