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.

Great Service

After several attempts to contact a lawyer who could help me with some property issues in Texas (I’m out of state), I was fortunate enough to find Richard Patteson. I was connected with him through Lawyer.com. I was able to speak with him about my situation and he explained my options in easy to und...erstand terms. In addition, he gave me his direct phone number and cell phone for additional questions. As I began working with him, I quickly realized he had a very strong reputation. The people at the assessor’s office all knew him. I also learned that he had been a judge for 20 years. Throughout my case, he responded to every email within a day and was available when I called. I even called to leave a message one Saturday, and he took my call. Anita, his assistant, also was available to answer questions on the phone or by email. I am very glad I found Mr. Patteson. He was always professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He resolved my issues without delay, and I would be happy to work with him again in the future. Mr. Patteson and Anita made the probate painless. Thank you both!

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.
