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.

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.

I know divorces are complicated and costly but it seemed like the fees and court cases were never ending. Patrick is some what knowledgeable and I preferred he come to court cases and not any other lawyers. after consulting other lawyers I realized I was overpaying for promise that was never reache...d. After spending thousands, Patrick's outlook on my case changed and he said there was not much he can do anymore. I am now starting over with another lawyer who is more knowledgeable. closer and less expensive

Patrick helped me put the finishing touches on my divorce agreement. He was concise, very easy to work with and very reasonable. A few years later when I had a issue arise over the agreement, he took my call for free and walked me through the issue which was raised by the other side and gave me h...is opinion. In the world of family law, he is a God send!

Patrick took a stressful and anxious time in my life and made me feel as calm and prepared as possible. He also kept me informed of anything and everything involved, always returned my calls promptly and never seemed aggravated with me when I would ask a bunch of questions or didn't understand somet...hing and required clarification. He is easy to talk to, respectful and even funny; Patrick is the kind of person I would want to be friends with outside of the nastiness of family court. Most importantly, I am very satisfied with the work Patrick did for me as my attorney and with his very reasonable rates. I am out of state, and I put a lot of trust in Patrick to represent me in a contentious and very important matter. I would hire him again without hesitation if I ever needed to [fingers crossed I don't have to] and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney.
