Patrick helped me deal with an international "custody" and parenting case. The situation was quite complicated dealing with European vs American laws. It was a pretty black and white situation legally, but the US judge wasn't seeing it that way. Patrick started with the same claim from the very begin...ning, knew the laws better than the 3 judges we had, and in the end, his very first petition that was written for me was essentially what was granted. It unfortunately took us 1.5 years to get a ruling, but that was beyond Patrick's control. He is communicative, values confidentiality, uses modern technology and is prompt with delivering results. I never waited more than 24 hours for anything to post to my file. I never met Patrick in person; we did everything via phone and email and I seriously cannot recommend someone else. I was highly satisfied with his services and the team that works alongside him to make everything happen. The opposing counsel was really trying to "pull some fast ones" or change things around to better her case and Patrick really seemed unphased by the games and just continued to represent me in the best light and himself as well. I think in the end this really helped my case and I also got the verdict I wanted. I receive child support and was not required to relocate. You won't be disappointed with Patrick.

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.

Patrick Markey handled my divorce, child support, and joint parenting agreement issues. I would highly recommend Patrick Markey to anyone seeking legal help. My divorce lasted 9 months. In that time I always found Mr. Markey to be very available. He was prompt at returning calls and emails. If he di...dn’t know the answer to the question I had, he quickly used his resources to find one. I was very comforted knowing that I wouldn’t have to wait to hear from him. As I was going through my divorce, I always felt that Mr. Markey kept me informed as I was going through the steps to complete my divorce. Every step of the way, Mr. Markey explained the process so I could easily understand and anticipate what was going to happen next. Mr. Markey has a very calming personality, even when things were “out of control”, he was able to listen with compassion and offered practical suggestions that brought the situation back to “calm”. Mr. Markey’s advice was always “right on the money”. I never felt down by any advice that was given. One thing that I was extremely thankful for during my divorce was an attorney who not only showed compassion, but also had a sense of humor. Anyone that could get me to laugh during my stressful time, was worth keeping around. Patrick Markey came to me highly recommended, and I was not let down.

Mr. Markey as well as his administrative office staff were always very professional, courteous and efficient when handling my child support issue. In fact, the day we were due in Court, I was unable to appear, but Mr. Markey kept me informed via telephone before any final decisions were made. I wou...ld highly recommend Mr. Markey.
