Helped me make the best of a poor experience

To start - I consulted Patrick for my divorce and he made me feel comfortable from our first meeting. He made it very clear from our first meeting that the law was on my side, and guess what? It was and turned out exactly like he said it would. And what I mean by that is that the scenario he laid out... in our first meeting is exactly how my divorce turned out. I hired Patrick for over 18 months and he and his staff were responsive the whole time. Jackie R. was very calm and kind over the phone, and my dealings with his associates were very professional and accurate. My ex contested many issues with our divorce, mostly including money, and Patrick's dealings with her attorney were forceful but also kind. He made it clear that he was all the way on my side and also the one who was in control of the situation. We went through private mediation with a retired judge who Patrick had a working relationship with and that made me very comfortable during the actual mediation session. It was clear to me that he had been doing this for many years and had relationships with the people making the decisions in these types of cases. Patrick is knowledgeable about the entire process too. I just finished my refinance this week, and Patrick was available for questions I had along the way. He guided me through the whole thing - before I had been served, immediately after I had been served, through the private mediation, and all the way into pre-trial, which is when we ended up settling. I felt like I was guided very well throughout the process. Lastly, the most important thing I think about from my experience is that it really did end up exactly like Patrick said it would. He is very knowledgeable about the law and has the experience to know what to expect, and has the relationships to get you to your destination. I'm sure he'll do a great job for you too.

Very Happy with Outcome

I was put in contact with Mr Markey via a former employee of his. After meeting him, I made the decision to move forward and have him represent me in my divorce proceeding. In short, I was happy with the long term outlook of the divorce. Altough in the short term I was a bit disappointed, but I under...stand that there is a little give and take in these matters. But overall, he kept me abreast of the situation, was available whenever I needed to speak or correspond with him and provided excellent representation at the hearing. In short, I would highly recommend Mr Markey as a divorce attorney.

Divorce lawyer that cares

I am recently divorced and while it was done it about 1 year, it was difficult for many reasons. Patrick walked me through the process with patience and checked on me even when he didn’t have to. I was able to walk away without a huge financial debt. Even today, he continues to care even though I h...ave been divorced for nearly 3 months. I’m very happy that I chose Patrick for my lawyer.

Responsive and Knowledgeable Attorney

I hired Patrick to represent me in a contentious divorce. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and the divorce process in Cook county. He made sure I knew what to expect during each step of the process. In addition to knowing the law and helping me understand my rights, I found Patrick to be e...mpathetic, which I appreciated. I had many questions and concerns. He was easy to get a hold of by phone and email. I would highly recommend Patrick.

Awesome Attorney & Person

Calm, patient and measured in his approach, Patrick is everything you need in a divorce attorney. His breadth of knowledge and experience is unparalleled and his communication skills are excellent. He is also backed by an excellent and competent team. During a very difficult time, I was treated w...ith respect and professionalism. If you retain Patrick, you’ll be in the best hands.
