Child Custody

Can't say enough good things about Andrea. It is obvious that she is in this to help families. First of all, she helped keep our cost as low as possible (not what I expected when looking for an attorney). But best of all, she really cared about getting the best result for my kids and me. Hopefully I... will not need an attorney again, but if so, it will be Andrea Pate. I definitely recommend her.

Former client

She misrepresented the truth to me on a case I hired her to do. When I needed her most she wasn't available. When I instructed her not to do something she did it anyway and then charged me for her time. She is very naive and offered me detrimental advice that has proved to have long reaching, ne...gative consequences for my family Find a different attorney. She doesn't know what she's doing.

Look here first

I was in a very high conflict custody battle that was almost at the 2.5 year mark when finding Andrea Pate. I had been through 2 other attorneys and spent way too much money to go anywhere and was in a hole. I found the Law Offices of the Ozarks and found Mrs. Pate. She is very honest, straight forw...ard, never lied to me, and actually cared about my case. She put 100% of her effort and her legal teams effort into my case. She is very thorough and prepared for court more so than anyone I have ever hired or heard of. For my situation she did better than any attorney I could have ever found. My situation is the best outcome it could have been. I am so thankful for Andrea, Joe, and Dakota/ all of the team that helped on my case. She is conscientious, efficient, professional, informed, knowledgeable and dedicated. She cried when we cried and fought hard for my son and I. I am forever grateful. I just wish I could have had her from day one.

Andrea Rosser-Pate

I hired Andrea when she was still in Orlando Fl due to I live in Florida as well. I needed a lawyer that could practice in both Florida and Missouri. Let me tell you she was/is worth every penny. She is straight forward and true at heart. She will never guide you in the wrong direction with anything.... So if you are in Missouri and need a good lawyer that is true take it from me the most stubborn picky person you will ever meet, Andrea is the one for you. I can lay my head down at night knowing she has everything under control. She helped me with my family case and made us all very happy with all her hard work and dedication. I wish I could give her 1000 stars. She will talk to you at a personal level and make sure you are comfortable. Her job is pure dedication she isn't in it for the money she does it for her clients and that's what makes her top notch. So with that said I Thank You Andrea for all you have done for me with my case.

Peace During a Storm

Pates Law Group is by far the best Family and Criminal Law firm in Orlando!!! The entire team was so helpful to me during a very difficult divorce. Andrea Rosser-Pate was an amazing attorney! I ALWAYS received timely responses and detailed feedback throughout my case and if I ever had any questions o...r concerns, someone was always there to explain everything to me. I'm very grateful to have been represented by Pates Law Group. I HIGHLY recommend them!
