So Grateful

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.

Such a waste

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.

Exceptional Attorney

I've found Ms. Fox to be an exceptional attorney who not only has a strong understanding of the law, but also has a strong understanding of the needs of the people she has been hired to represent.

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.
