Made my divorce process very comfortable

I was referred to Pat Buss for my divorce. I was nervous and in a difficult spot emotionally as I was filing for divorce and my husband refused to get an attorney. Pat put me at ease during the first meeting. She helped me organize my thoughts and paperwork (as I had to do everything for the divor...ce) and was my advocate during the entire process. After the divorce there was a glitch in a piece of real estate (county recorder issue) and Pat was there by my side to help with that as well. She is a caring person who connects with her clients and an excellent attorney who "knows her stuff." Pat can be firm when she needs to be and will fight for her client. But also know that she has a heart of a mediator and will work to that end as well, if that is what her client wants. I would highly recommend Pat Buss!

Excellent in Family Law

Patricia was very knowledgeable in the area of family law. She was very sensitive to the needs of my family. She got us to take a long term view of things and that brought us to an excellent outcome. I would recommend hiring Patricia in any family law matters.

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.
