More than excellent.

More than excellent, human, they listen. Mr. Markey, Ms. Sapia and Ms. Guerrero went out of their way to get what looks like a really bad divorce case, something easy. They took care of every single detail and I never had to contact my ex husband, they did it. When I talked to Mr. Markey the firs...t time I was in a lot of stress. As soon as I put everything into his hands, the stress was gone. And I was informed all the time what was going on. I never had to call them and ask what was the status of my case never, all the time they were about three or more steps ahead of me. I will recommend him in a heart beat. Thank you so much.

Former Custody Case

He started out really good, but then just seemed to fall off the cliff. It was almost as though he was trying to win a popularity contest and make friends with opposing counsel. He is ok, and maybe it was our chemistry, but what he promised and delivered were 2 different things. I wound up with a ...different lawyer and got somewhat closer to what I was looking for. It just sucks to be a man in Illinois who wants to see his kids.

Thanks for your feedback. Child custody and visitation cases can be very difficult and frustrating for everyone involved. Not every case is the same and they are each driven by their own specific facts. You are correct that chemistry between a lawyer and client does matter. I'm glad you got close what you were looking for. I'm available to discuss your issues offline if that interests you. Thanks.

Patrick Markey is an excellent attorney.

Patrick Markey is an excellent attorney, highly professional, competent, efficient, easy approachable and always available. I recommend Mr. Markey without reservation. Mr. Markey worked our case with passion and dignity. He explained to me the reality of our case by details. He never gave us false ...hope. I always tell him the true and with my truth, he did justice and won my case. He is a master making accomplish the father‘s right. Today, I am grateful to Mr. Markey not only because I did not have to travel long distance to be present in the court room, but also because he makes my son’s life happiest.

Responsive, knowledgeable white glove service

I obviously didn't meet Patrick during the best of times, but I can't recommend him enough for making a painful period better through exemplary support throughout my divorce. Aside from being extremely thorough in my document preparation and responsive, he had a great way of guiding me through this p...rocess with very sane, reasonable counsel -- such as helping me not to overreact to requests from opposing counsel or telling exactly me what would happen at the hearing. A very trustworthy straightshooter that you want in your corner. Would definitely use him again.

Exceptional attorney, far beyond my expectations !!!

Mr. Markey litigated my divorce. He was understanding and he knew when to be firm and aggressive. He was also knew how negotiate with the opposing attorney without compromising my needs. He always returned my calls and replied to my emails. I highly recommend you hire Patrick for your divorce case.
