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.

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.

I found Patrick online after my previous attorney filed an agreement in the court without notifying me, without my consent, and that I felt would draw the case out longer. I had previous misgivings about that attorney because he would often change his explanations about how the case was going to suit... his needs. Patrick, to contrast, was very open and upfront about his strategy. He strongly encouraged my participation in the case and required my consent to any agreements. And a small bonus is that his firm uses modern technology to handle documents and file transfers, which helps a great deal when you are dealing with a ton of paperwork. Finally, he responds quickly to questions, and is not just interested in telling you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Hopefully, I'll never need his services again but will turn to him if the need arises.

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.
