honest, up front, strategic, borders on genius- saved my butt

I would feel bad if dishonest about the service I received. Pat called me to let me know what was happening in my criminal case. He sat me down and treated me like I was his golfing buddy. In other words, he was straight up. I think he is much better at doing law than making money. And that shows hi...s heart's in the right place. His trial skills are unmatched and I won against the scams of the government. He isn't a know it all, and doesn't treat me like I am bothering him when I show up or call. I have met several of his other clients who have the same high opinion of him. He destroyed the prosecutor's case.
