As anyone can imagine, a divorce can be scary, debilitating, financially draining and an extremely difficult time. While I knew I had to get divorced, the mechanics of putting emotions aside and protecting my interests, and those of my children, are not as easily focused on at times. Patrick did an o...utstanding job of not only working with me when my concerns were simply emotional, letting me vent - then talking me down, as well as doing an outstanding job of focusing on my legal needs now - and in the future. You can often have feelings that may want you to act in a way that, in the now, seems a good idea - but 5 years from now, would not be in your best interests. Patrick kept me focused, navigated some changing laws that would help me in the future - but also kept me focused on protecting the interests of my children. His engagement with my ex-wife's counsel was outstanding, and while difficult, insulated me as much as possible. His command of the law and legal needs was outstanding, and honestly - I was terrified of getting cleaned out, but Patrick helped me negotiate a deal that allowed me to move on and keep peace of mind. He was always available, extremely conscious of billing time and hourly rate, which can get expensive and made me feel, given the situation, that this would be handled in the best way possible. This could have gone multiple ways, but Patrick helped me get - in my mind - through a situation that could have been much, much worse.

I was involved in a messy high conflict divorce case and Patrick was the steady hand and guiding light during the entire process. I thank Patrick for being very knowledgeable, responsive, organized, dedicated, calm, steady, and being a strong advocate during the case. When I felt lost because of th...e process, Patrick was there to help make sense of things. I also thank his team (Gabby, Jackie) for being responsive, organized, and lending a hand to my case. For those who may need to deal with high conflict personalities, I would highly recommend Patrick for being very effective, steady, and strong in negotiation. In the end, I received the results I was looking for and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick.

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.
