Patrick represented me in a lawsuit against my former employer. He was an extremely skillful negotiator and my employer settled with us for a substantial sum of money. Patrick was great to work with and kept me extremely well informed at every step along the way. This attorney is extremely friendly and truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend him.
Big gratitude to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for helping me out on my credit report. Earlier this year I had evictions, foreclosure and bankruptcy on my credit report which deprived me access to so many things. I decided to go online and search for good hacker for help and that was how I came across PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who helped me removed the eviction, foreclosure and bankruptcy from my credit report. I can guarantee you they are the best credit specialist in the universe. They further increased my credit score from 553 to 802 TransUnion, 807 Equifax, 812 Experian. One thing I love so much about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is that they keep to time frame, they told me in less than 6 days they’ll get job done. In the 5th day job has been fixed already and uploaded to my credit profile. They’re the best among all. I sincerely recommend them to the universe.

Letter of Termination
As he always does, Pat asked the necessary questions and promptly executed the request for a letter of termination for an employee.
I've used Pat's services and advise several times and have always been very satisfied with the results.

A review of Smith Paulson & O'Donnell legal office
Where can I start. I have been with this firm for 20 plus years for both personal and business purposes. I have owned several business (one a major worldwide franchise) and Pat has helped me navigate the treacherous area of Employment & Labor, Litigation, Business law. Anytime I needed a different specialty, Pat's entire team of lawyers and legal professionals, have been at my service when needed and example would be for estate planning and family law. This firm is also very carful about the fees they charge and they help watch my pocket book. Do not get me wrong as I pay the going rate, but I never feel over charged. Because of our working relationship we are not great personal friends but we are friends. My wife is a dentist and has owned and operated (now a three doctor) practice for the last thirteen years. Pat and the professionals at Smith Paulson and O'Donnell have help guide her dental practice to great success. That is for another review. If you hire Pat and his firm, and you will not regret doing so.

A scary time made easy
Mr. O'Donnell worked with me on the execution of the contracts for the sale of my business. It was a major move for me and I was apprehensive. Mr. O'Donnell made sure that I was treated fairly and was knowledgeable of all of the potential issues. He took the time necessary to answer all of my questions, and made it all work out right. I am completely pleased with the professional and personable service that he provided.

Representation in MN
Pat O'Donnell was recommended to me as an excellent attorney to represent me in a partnership dispute in Minnesota. Coming from out of State, I needed all the help I could get! Pat and his firm were more than up to the challenge. Very timely and strategically knowledgable of the courts in Minnesota, I was happy to receive a settlement that was very much to my satisfaction thanks to Pat O'Donnell, and his very able assistant Pam Clark. I recommend Pat without reservation for any general business legal needs. Thank you Pat! Shannon

Business Attorney | Jan 14
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Pat represented the seller in a corporate transaction in which I represented the buyer. Pat was a zealous advocate for his client while not making the transaction more involved or expensive than necessary for both sides. I know many corporate attorneys, but Pat is one of the few I actually trust enough to send clients to when I have a conflict and cannot handle the matter myself."
