Posted by anonymous | February 26, 2013 | Child Custody

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.

I do not recommend Patrick. He does not study the case but promises victory to client.

I would not recommend Patrick. He does not study the case well and understand the facts. He is aggressive and misleading and takes short cuts. He argues strong that he understands the rules but sets wrong expectation to the clients. He picks clients from low income groups and gives ex parte hard ...time.
