Excellent Family Law Attorney

Patrick took a stressful and anxious time in my life and made me feel as calm and prepared as possible. He also kept me informed of anything and everything involved, always returned my calls promptly and never seemed aggravated with me when I would ask a bunch of questions or didn't understand somet...hing and required clarification. He is easy to talk to, respectful and even funny; Patrick is the kind of person I would want to be friends with outside of the nastiness of family court. Most importantly, I am very satisfied with the work Patrick did for me as my attorney and with his very reasonable rates. I am out of state, and I put a lot of trust in Patrick to represent me in a contentious and very important matter. I would hire him again without hesitation if I ever needed to [fingers crossed I don't have to] and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Mr. Markey comes highly recommended.

Mr. Markey provided excellent counsel in regards to my divorce. He was very diplomatic and supportive of issues that were sensitive in nature. With his assistance and guidance, Mr. Markey was able to get the results I was seeking, in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Mr. Markey's services to ...anyone who is seeking a Family Law attorney.

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.

Professional, Patient & Through Support

Divorce is a painful process. Patrick has made it much more easier for me, when my now ex was changing his mind regularly. He has explained the laws clearly to me in a calm manner. Also he has helped me to look at this process more logically, instead of emotionally - trust me that can be done when yo...u work with Patrick. Also, Patrick has responded to my after divorce matter in a timely fashion, which is a great help. It is unbelievable how many things are still there after the divorce.
