Miracle Worker

We contacted Patteson Law and within hours we not only had our initial appointment; all the required documents were ready for signature. We were caught up with a sudden death and near impossible task of probating 2 estates. Richard and his staff went way above the call of duty to assist us as we le...ft for our own home and needed not only the wills probated but a complicated vehicle issue resolved. Truly a professional who is called to just help the common folks he encounters. You will do no better than to take your legal affairs to him.

Mrs.

Our family was in an emergency situation and I googled an attorney for the specific needs we were facing and called his office on a Monday morning at 9:00 am. HE answered the phone personally—HE went to work immediately- HE Called me back personally and totally handled the case promptly, professional...ly and above and beyond our satisfaction. We have had dealings with MANY attorneys over the past 30 years and this attorney by far exhibited both knowledge and integrity above anyone we had ever met. You will thank me for recommending this man to you!!!!! He is in my phone on speed dial.
