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 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.

Patrick handled my complicated international removal case very well. As a fellow attorney, my expectations were very high. However, Patrick and his team definitely met the mark. From his co-counsel Gabriela, to his administrative team, I received excellent support throughout my case. He is one of... the most responsive attorneys I've ever worked with and always kept me in the know regarding my case. He was very pragmatic while being a strong advocate on my behalf at the same time. I don't think we could have selected a better attorney to represent us in this matter and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for a family law/divorce related matter. Patrick is an attorney that you can trust to get the job done and get it done well!

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.
