During my divorce, I was exposed to four sets of attorneys on both sides of the case. Patrick Markey was by far the most competent, most alert, and most knowledgeable on all aspects of the case and the law. He steered through the final stages of the divorce with a steady hand, always knowing how to r...eact and when. If you are unfortunate enough to experience an inevitable divorce, then I would highly recommend Patrick Markey as your counsel.

Patrick handled my complicated international removal case very well. As a fellow attorney, my expectations were very high. However, Patrick and his team definitely met the mark. From his co-counsel Gabriela, to his administrative team, I received excellent support throughout my case. He is one of... the most responsive attorneys I've ever worked with and always kept me in the know regarding my case. He was very pragmatic while being a strong advocate on my behalf at the same time. I don't think we could have selected a better attorney to represent us in this matter and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for a family law/divorce related matter. Patrick is an attorney that you can trust to get the job done and get it done well!

I used Patrick's legal services in drafting a prenup agreement this summer. Patrick is a consummate attorney and legal adviser. He took the time to thoroughly explain to me my options--both in an initial intake session and in several follow up phone conversations--and he helped me anticipate future s...cenarios as we considered what to stipulate in the agreement. Throughout the process, he kept me informed about our timeline, and ultimately helped us finish the agreement sooner than expected. Ultimately, Patrick helped me clarify my own expectations for my marriage and the years to come. I would highly recommend his services to others who need assistance in drafting a prenup.

Patrick handled my divorce case in 2011. It was an amicable split (as much as any divorce can be), and we went through a mediator, but I really relied on Patrick to handle the big picture items. He even helped us with the parenting agreement far more than the mediator did. I knew absolutely nothi...ng about the law and was very worried I was going to unknowingly agree to something that I would later regret. But, Patrick made sure I understood every word of the agreement and all of the ramifications, which was a huge relief. He knows what he is doing, and is honest and hard-working. I was able to calm down because I knew I was in good hands. Patrick is very professional and knowledgable, and got everything through the courts in no time at all -- he made it as painless as possible. Patrick has since helped us revise the parenting agreement and certain terms of the alimony/child support as my ex-husband had employment and salary changes. And, I think I've called him a few times for advice. He is just very personable and helpful! I strongly recommend him.

Patrick handled my not-so-amicable divorce and post-divorce proceedings. His greatest strength is his ability to remain calm when everyone around him is unable to do so. His calmness and foresight allowed a complicated divorce to move along and not get bogged down in petty details. He understood t...hat the decisions being made in an emotional case would be long term and the agreement being reached had to work for both sides. A year and a half after my divorce was finalized, I lost my job. With no income, I was faced with having to modify both the maintenance and child support. Patrick worked with my ex-wife and her lawyer to negotiate a fair modification. After I found employment, I had to return to court to once again to readjust the terms of the marriage settlement agreement. In a tense situation in the courtroom, Patrick stood his ground and calmly and logically helped everyone come to agreement. If everyone in the legal profession was like Patrick, there would be less litigation and more collaboration. In what can be a cold and frightening legal system, he is a refreshing bit of humanity. I give Patrick and the entire law firm my highest recommendation.
