Very Helpful and Professional

Ms. Stanley was able to quickly and efficiently help us with a family matter across state lines. The kids were starting school in a matter of days and she was able to get an order signed by a local judge in a timely manner so the kids could begin school. Ms. Stanley showed empathy during this period and stayed in communication with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her.

Great attorney

Mrs. Stanley made my divorce process extremely smooth during a move. She got the job done quick and professionally all while being 4,000 miles away. If you're looking for a great attorney this office is the one.

Fast, Effective, Hard Working

If you pick Patricia Stanley be prepared to be working with an attorney that is fast and proactive. She works hard for you like your family is her family. You are informed every step of the way. I used her for modification purposes. She's honest and straight up which I believe is a rare and highly sought after trait. Your money will surly not be wasted and you will find a stressful situation a little less stressful. I would use her again and again.

Excellent Attorney!!

I used Patricia Stanley as my divorce attorney in 2014. She was kind, professional, and extremely helpful during my difficult time. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made sure I understood what to expect in my divorce process and what my rights were under the law. I lived 60 miles away and she kept me informed and made sure paperwork was filed and sent to me promptly. Her fees were reasonable and I would definitely use her again.
