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.

A lawyer that truly cares about his clients.

I hired Richard Patteson to help me receive early termination of probation, and we won! He was very caring and understand of my needs and worked well with me and my family to achieve my early release. Mr. Patteson was a great help and did his job well, very professional. I recommend him over many Law...yers in Tyler.

Posted by Kimberly | August 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

A lawyer that truly cares about his clients

Mr. Patteson has assisted our family with a number of legal issues ranging from a guardianship case (for our daughter with special needs), to probating a will, to drafting POA documents. It was incredibly refreshing to work with a lawyer who personally and PROMPTLY responded to our calls and emails.... Even though our cases were likely quite small relative to his other cases, we were always impressed with the personal attention that he gave to each of our concerns. His diligence, attention to detail, personable approach, and overall legal competence are a few of the reasons that we highly recommend Mr. Patteson and plan to utilize him again in the future as additional legal needs arise.
