He’s a beast!

Patrick is hands down the best lawyer I have ever encountered! Not everyone knows all the laws & has common sense but he’s beyond that! People never tell you the good when they’re upset or when things don’t go their way first and foremost! When things didn’t go my way he fought and fought with no com...plaints! He put me on the right track and straightened everything out! I had been fighting for two years and he killed it in a day! He should really be a judge because he puts the judges on the edge of a cliff with his knowledge of the law! He’s knowledge will put pressure on you like never before! From beginning to end he has kept me on my toes and treated me and my children as priority and family! I don’t know when he sleeps but I know he loves his career & a mean fight! He will always win! It’s not often that you mean someone that has the licenses he has and pots he has his hands in! In court everyone was always hey Patrick this Patrick that & he’s always professional, fair & fights hard! No one could ever find a better lawyer! Idc what anyone says this guy knows his stuff and was recommended by many judges! He’s a hard guy to beat so if your coming for him you better swing hard like your life depends on it! I will never be able to say or thank him and Shannon enough they’re more than heroes with a great conscious! He’s simply just a great person, great lawyer and family man! God chose him for the position and he exceeds Everytime!

Brilliant, Personable, Knowledgeable Divorce Lawyer!

Patrick Wright is hands down the best genuine and knowledgeable lawyer I've ever dealt with!!! I have hired a few money hungry lawyers before and felt the negative vibes through out my case. I haven't entered the court yet with Patrick. I just hired him about a month ago. Him and his staff picked up... on my modification case set in June. I will post another review once my trial is over in June. They have already started to notice a few things that were not in my kids' favor that were pushed by my EX and the opposing counsel. I have to say that Patrick and his staff is a GOD send to people like me who just want a genuine compassionate lawyer by their side who not only looks after their clients' best interest but also is very mindful of the children involved. I have been talking to Allison and Hailey also. Both of them are great at what they do. Sheri is great to communicate with if you have any billing issues. Btw, this is my first positive review for a lawyer. I rarely write any reviews. I am very pleased with his performance on my case thus far. If you are on a hunt for the best lethal combo of sweet-and-salty in your Divorce/Modification case who will aggressively pursue your case and not put up with the opposing counsel's lies and manipulation; one that will make sure the truth is told, not the smoke and mirrors the opposing counsel is trying to present, then look no farther then the THE WRIGHT FIRM!!

Excellent consultation

I saw Mr. Wright for a divorce consultation and he exceeded my expectations. He was very informative and offered great advice pertinent to my specific situation. I would highly recommend.

Posted by Tina | December 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Exceptional Attorney

I have retained Patrick Wright for the last seven years for various legal needs, and referred close friends to him. I am pleased to recommend him. Patrick is an extremely bright and resourceful attorney of unmatched expertise and skill, who thinks creatively outside of the box to obtain his clients... the most swift and favorable results in their case. Patrick is a brilliant and aggressive litigator and mediator. He definitely will not disappoint you in either scenario. And most importantly, Patrick does it all with the utmost integrity. It is apparent by how Patrick is received in the courthouse that he is well-respected and well-liked by fellow attorneys and judges. Whether dealing with a simple modification, a high-conflict child custody case, or a divorce which involves division of complex speculative assets, Patrick works closely with his clients in a collaborative effort to achieve the best results for his clients. A dedicated family man himself, and ad litem for CPS children, Patrick cares deeply about the welfare of children. You can trust Patrick to advise you as he would his own family. Patrick takes his cases to heart, and is highly responsive, as he goes above and beyond to protect you, and that which means the most to you. Crucial to all of this is that you can trust Patrick will not exploit your case for his financial gain. (You will not find many reviews which attest to such.) Whether you have a new case, or a case which needs rescuing like mine did, you will never regret hiring Patrick to handle your legal issues. In the past, I've hired the largest firms in the metroplex, as well as smaller private firms, and none of them have yielded me the service, the compassion or the results that Patrick Wright and The Wright Firm, LLP have.

Knowledgeable & Personable

My family and I met with Patrick Wright to address child custody and child support modification. From the beginning Patrick was friendly and very understanding of our stressful situation. He let us voiced all our concerns while taking notes and reviewing documentation. After we addressed all of our c...oncerns, Patrick shared exceptional legal advice and even told us to wait for other items in our situation "to come" before requesting a modification. He also went as far as explaining what opposing counsel could do and how we would tackle each item. Throughout our conversation, he addressed every question, he could tell we were stressed and continue to make us feel more comfortable, more knowledgeable and more at ease with case. We left the office feeling confident we had found the right attorney to handle our case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
