From the outset, in a most difficult situation, Patrick has proven to be a superior lawyer in every sense of the word. As I imagine with most divorces, issues and emotions arise, but I never once questioned Patrick's advice or work, even when his words were not necessarily what I wanted to hear. In ...every situation he stood behind his words and always followed up with me to make sure I understood what was happening and why. Patrick was one person who could put me at ease in my most difficult time and vulnerability. In a terribly difficult part of my life, I was able to trust Patrick with my future, and trust that his dedication and empathy were genuine; he never proved otherwise. Patrick comes with my absolute highest recommendation for anyone looking for a trustworthy and most dedicated lawyer.

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.

Patrick handled my divorce case in 2011. It was an amicable split (as much as any divorce can be), and we went through a mediator, but I really relied on Patrick to handle the big picture items. He even helped us with the parenting agreement far more than the mediator did. I knew absolutely nothi...ng about the law and was very worried I was going to unknowingly agree to something that I would later regret. But, Patrick made sure I understood every word of the agreement and all of the ramifications, which was a huge relief. He knows what he is doing, and is honest and hard-working. I was able to calm down because I knew I was in good hands. Patrick is very professional and knowledgable, and got everything through the courts in no time at all -- he made it as painless as possible. Patrick has since helped us revise the parenting agreement and certain terms of the alimony/child support as my ex-husband had employment and salary changes. And, I think I've called him a few times for advice. He is just very personable and helpful! I strongly recommend him.

I hired Patrick for a very messy long divorce and he was very helpful and patient throughout the entire process. There was a custody battle and a real estate short sale and he was very good at keeping me informed and advising me throughout the entire thing. He was very good at giving his honest asses...sment of what is realistic to get when going through court. He had a good rapport with the judge in my case and got results. I would highly recommend him for anyone going through a complicated divorce.

I spent ten years of a horrible divorce with a high profile attorney who believed as Illinois does that fathers have no custody rights. Even with joint custody, he tried to get me to accept visitation status quo every other weekend ect and he made my ex wife residential guardian. This caused my son t...o move to a less safe city with a poor school system in spite of my arguments to be able to provide him a better life! Every opportunity I made for him was battled back in the courts: he wanted to play hockey at age 6, his Mother did not want to have to "traipse around after him"he wanted drum lessons, she thought it foolish. HE needed special help with reading for dyslexia, she did not want it to conflict with her schedule. My attorney age 70 thought I was foolish to fight for my son, his Mother knew best. It took me 10 years to fire him and find Patrick! Patrick is an amazing attorney and compassionate Human being. He fought for me, he understood me, he cared about my son and what was best for him. Please believe me, I lived the nightmare you may be in, I did the research and found the best attorney in Illinois, he proved his reputation to me by results. You can get my phone number from him and I will answer all your questions. My son is now 19 and lives with me full-time. He played hockey for 8 years and won state championship. He is the drummer in a band that has played festivals accross the Midwest and opened for legendary rock bands. He is a student at C.O.D. earning a degree in cyber security. Don't waste years of your life with the wrong attorney. Patrick changed my life and my sons life. I prayed for God to help me through this terrible struggle and he sent Patrick. Brian
