Top knotch attorney.

I worked with Patrick Risken as a court reporter for more than 15 years. Pat is a very talented, experienced and respectful attorney. In my almost 30 years of court reporting across the country and working with probably hundreds if not thousands of attorneys, I have rarely found an attorney who is ...as smart as he is successful. I highly recommend him for any type of legal mediation or legal work you are needing.

A Highly Competent Litigator

I strongly recommend Pat to any client needing skilled and effective representation. I have worked with and against Pat on a number of different cases, ranging from construction defect litigation to products liability claims. In all my dealings with Pat, he was at all times both professional and a ...strong advocate for his client. Pat knows how and then does obtain quality results for his clients.

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.
