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.

Highly Recommend

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.

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.

Legal Representation for Divorce

As anyone can imagine, a divorce can be scary, debilitating, financially draining and an extremely difficult time. While I knew I had to get divorced, the mechanics of putting emotions aside and protecting my interests, and those of my children, are not as easily focused on at times. Patrick did an o...utstanding job of not only working with me when my concerns were simply emotional, letting me vent - then talking me down, as well as doing an outstanding job of focusing on my legal needs now - and in the future. You can often have feelings that may want you to act in a way that, in the now, seems a good idea - but 5 years from now, would not be in your best interests. Patrick kept me focused, navigated some changing laws that would help me in the future - but also kept me focused on protecting the interests of my children. His engagement with my ex-wife's counsel was outstanding, and while difficult, insulated me as much as possible. His command of the law and legal needs was outstanding, and honestly - I was terrified of getting cleaned out, but Patrick helped me negotiate a deal that allowed me to move on and keep peace of mind. He was always available, extremely conscious of billing time and hourly rate, which can get expensive and made me feel, given the situation, that this would be handled in the best way possible. This could have gone multiple ways, but Patrick helped me get - in my mind - through a situation that could have been much, much worse.

Highly Recommend Patrick

I was involved in a messy high conflict divorce case and Patrick was the steady hand and guiding light during the entire process. I thank Patrick for being very knowledgeable, responsive, organized, dedicated, calm, steady, and being a strong advocate during the case. When I felt lost because of th...e process, Patrick was there to help make sense of things. I also thank his team (Gabby, Jackie) for being responsive, organized, and lending a hand to my case. For those who may need to deal with high conflict personalities, I would highly recommend Patrick for being very effective, steady, and strong in negotiation. In the end, I received the results I was looking for and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patrick.
