Best in Orlando

Andrea went above and beyond to make sure that I had gotten what I wanted in my case. She had excellent use of customer service - and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I felt very comfortable discussing personal matters with her. Things ended wel in my case and I have her to thank for that. I cou...ldn't be happier with the outcome.

Vested, Caring, Detail Oriented, Force to be reckoned with

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ms. Pate in a very long, drawn out, grueling custody case spanning an almost 2 year period. Ms. Pate was present, active, and determined from start to end. Her wealth of knowledge and quest for fair and just was evident. She is the type of person who co...mmands attention with grace and professionalism. Because of her genuine care and concern for the family dynamic and its impact on all parties involved (especially children) she has broadened her horizon to include guardian ad litem work as well as avenues of volunteer work throughout the community. The respect she deserves is freely given and shown every time she enters the courthouse. She is a force to be reckoned with and one who truly resonates with her clients. At the end of our very long drawn out emotional trial, my eyes welled up with tears. As did hers. She puts herself in your position and battles for the best possible outcome. Your fight becomes hers. I can't say enough about Ms. Pate other than I wish there were more people like her. She is truly one of a kind. I wish her luck and great strength in all of her future endeavors. She is headed for greatness and definitely a name to watch in the future.

Men need lawyers too!

Being a male, I was kind of on the fence about retaining a female attorney, but I am very happy that I did. Andrea represented me when I was divorcing my ex-wife. Andrea and her staff were very pleasant to work with, on call when I needed them to answer questions and treated me like family. She wa...s very upfront during my consultation and did not sugar coat anything. Surprisingly enough, she made the entire divorce process easy. She is definitely a fighter for her clients and someone that you want in your corner. I highly recommend Andrea Rosser-Pate and the Pates Law Group!

Posted by anonymous | January 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Worst Attorney Ever

Andrea worked on a case of mine years ago and only got me 124.00 per month for a total of 6 children. She kept telling me that she would get me the money my children needed and she never did. Then she had the nerve to tell me to give up my home and rent a place in St. Cloud some where. This made no... since to me. Every time I would come into the courtroom.... Andrea would be in a corner talking to my ex and his Attorney laughing up a storm. Even the court caseworkers who looked on the sideline warned me and told me that her behavior was unetical. After getting over 20,000.00 from me....and then turning around to try and get more, is when I fired her. Please don't be fooled people. She will suck up your money and then blame you as if it is your fault why your ex isn't paying the correct child support guidelines amount. RUN from this woman..... Andrea was my Attorney from 2009 to 2012 and she did NOTHING but take my money and get me only $124.00 a month for 6 minor children to split. She NEVER froze my ex husband's bank accounts or anything else.
