Patricia Ann Fox

I hired Patti Fox as my divorce attorney. In her consultation she came off headstrong, confident, and confirmed to me she would do her best to help me. My divorce was brutal, and my ex-partner put me through the ringer to take my daughter from me. Patti was strong and skillful for the first 4 months ...of divorce, then she started slacking. Communication was inconsistent. She would continuously ask me to search for and resend the same documents over and over. She did not provide a bill for the first 7 months of divorce until I had to ask twice for it. It was so high I struggled to keep consistent payments high enough to keep it down. I began disputing some concerning charges because I saw duplicate charges on my bill. It was clear she gave up when it became a financial situation. The reviews are accurate….if you can pay the bill, she will try. If she sees it’s an easy win for her, she will work harder. She comes off strong, but for a lot of people where they’re on the struggling end of a fight…she will give up.

In retrospect, I wish I’d hired her for my divorce in ‘09. She represented me starting in late ‘19 to get full custody of my children from their abusive mother. That’s not always an easy task for a man. Her legal acumen is top tier and she’s razor sharp. There was never a problem with communication a...nd she never tried to name nickel and dime me for phone conversations that sometimes lasted a good hour. She was always one step ahead during the litigation and finally by the end of this past summer we were done. My children are safe and it was worth every penny.

I chose Patti Fox based on the numerous reviews. I figured the few bad ones had to be outliers. Moody disgruntled clients. Please go elsewhere! After 7 months of basically filing papers and cc numerous emails they charged me 20+k and accomplished nothing. As soon as she got me to take money out of... my retirement to pay them, she dropped me as a client. We have a house, 1 child, and a couple retirement accounts. This was not a difficult case. Men...she will not fight for your rights as a parent! Be warned! Additionally every time I needed her to be the professional, she would ask me what I wanted to do...I didn't know what to do... that's why I hired a lawyer. She seems incapable of anticipating the oppositions responses and actions. She was always caught off guard and seemed helpless to know how to respond. This was a huge waste of money and now I have to start all over. If you have a ton of money to waste, go for this firm. Otherwise I would stay far away.

I hired her because of good reviews in Google and good impression in the initial consultation. I assumed she would be good based on her experience and her higher hourly rate. But my judgement was totally wrong. She was not very talkative or not guaranteed anything at front. But it turned into not inf...ormative. I intended to have her revised the material agreement given by the ex-spouse. But it turned into the petition and started the case. In addition, there were careless typos, grammatical mistakes and totally wrong client name in her paperwork which not understandable with her experience and expensive fee. I complained about the matters. She asked me to look for another attorney instead of accepting her mistakes. In addtion, she or her firm did not update about the final judgement until I contacted her a month after the divorce was finalized. She apologized for the delay, but still not understandable. The delay caused me the problems too. The firm is very prompt to send me the bill, though. She must be good and experienced attorney. But She was not the right one for me and for my simple divorce case. I hired too expensive attorney for my case.
