I know divorces are complicated and costly but it seemed like the fees and court cases were never ending. Patrick is some what knowledgeable and I preferred he come to court cases and not any other lawyers. after consulting other lawyers I realized I was overpaying for promise that was never reache...d. After spending thousands, Patrick's outlook on my case changed and he said there was not much he can do anymore. I am now starting over with another lawyer who is more knowledgeable. closer and less expensive

I spent ten years of a horrible divorce with a high profile attorney who believed as Illinois does that fathers have no custody rights. Even with joint custody, he tried to get me to accept visitation status quo every other weekend ect and he made my ex wife residential guardian. This caused my son t...o move to a less safe city with a poor school system in spite of my arguments to be able to provide him a better life! Every opportunity I made for him was battled back in the courts: he wanted to play hockey at age 6, his Mother did not want to have to "traipse around after him"he wanted drum lessons, she thought it foolish. HE needed special help with reading for dyslexia, she did not want it to conflict with her schedule. My attorney age 70 thought I was foolish to fight for my son, his Mother knew best. It took me 10 years to fire him and find Patrick! Patrick is an amazing attorney and compassionate Human being. He fought for me, he understood me, he cared about my son and what was best for him. Please believe me, I lived the nightmare you may be in, I did the research and found the best attorney in Illinois, he proved his reputation to me by results. You can get my phone number from him and I will answer all your questions. My son is now 19 and lives with me full-time. He played hockey for 8 years and won state championship. He is the drummer in a band that has played festivals accross the Midwest and opened for legendary rock bands. He is a student at C.O.D. earning a degree in cyber security. Don't waste years of your life with the wrong attorney. Patrick changed my life and my sons life. I prayed for God to help me through this terrible struggle and he sent Patrick. Brian

Patrick Markey did an excellent job on my very complicated child custody case. It involved two separate jurisdictions and lawyers in two different states. He was clear with his expectations for how the case would proceed and extremely knowledgeable of the intricacies of child custody law. I would ...hire Mr. Markey and his team again in a heartbeat. Because of his hard work and excellent representation I was able to remain in the state where I lived with my child despite my ex's attempts to force us to move.

Patrick helped me put the finishing touches on my divorce agreement. He was concise, very easy to work with and very reasonable. A few years later when I had a issue arise over the agreement, he took my call for free and walked me through the issue which was raised by the other side and gave me h...is opinion. In the world of family law, he is a God send!

for my divorce case, I hired Mr. Markey. He is a good lawyer, giving suggestions, and detailed billing. Always answer my questions quickly. However, I raised some requests which he thinks not possible in the court, and he resisted my requests. Basically he thinks I should declare all my assets ...and my ex should declare all her assets then divided our marital assets according to the law. Also, my wife acted as her own lawyer, and I felt that he was too accommodating to her and not accommodating enough to me. So I switched to another lawyer because that lawyer vaguely promised to do what I requested. But once I hired the other lawyer, he did not do that, or could not do that. In the end, I got the same result just like if I kept Mr. Markey as my lawyer. I think Mr. Markey is a honest lawyer, but I would suggest he be more straight forward and be better at educating clients.
