In preparing for divorce, I was interviewing attorneys and found Patric through the recommendation of one of those attorneys. I was impressed by his calm demeanor and sound advice. We talked for nearly a full hour during our consolation. My now completed divorce was uncontested and it was important to me to find an attorney that was collaborative and capable/willing to help mitigate the possibility of things going the wrong direction. I t was impressed how Patric was able to keep my best interests in mind and empathize with what my former spouse and I were going through.
I found Patric to be professional, accessible and responsive to my needs/questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Drew & McCallum and should the need arise, I will look to them for legal advice in the future.
I contacted Patric because my corporate documents were a mess. I couldn't find several important papers I needed to submit to the City. He took the ball and ran with it. In less than 2 days, everything was prepared and sent to the necessary parties. He always looks at what's best (legally) for you. He's got you covered.
I work with entrepreneurs, business owners and executives, and other professionals on business and corporate matters. I bring the same no drama, business approach to separating and divorcing spouses going through uncontested divorce, collaborative divorce, and with prenuptial and other agreements.
We bring needed perspective, helpful information, and desired calm. With legal matters handled, our clients are focused and productive.
For our business clients, we offer affordable monthly general counsel plans engineered to make general counsel services easy and affordable. Business clients and divorcing and family clients also enjoy flat fee options.

Peace of mind.

Excellent advice and support
Patric provided excellent advise and support on what should have been a simple process but was turned into something more by my ex. Patric was always ready with options and at times was a calming influence when the situation called for it.
I would highly recommend using him.

Excellent advocate for his clients!
I work with several attorneys around the North Houston and Houston area. I highly recommend Patric. He's attentive to his clients needs, he's smart, and he is very responsive. What I find so helpful is the strategy he brings to a divorce case. He always seems to be 2 steps ahead of the other side. Great attorney and highly recommended for divorce or estate needs!

Excellent attorney
He was always a calming force during the stressful divorce process. He would always call me back very quickly when I had questions or concerns. He continues to be helpful when issues arise on custody or child support problems for many years after the divorce. Would highly recommend him.

A solid responsive and effective divorce lawyer.
Excellent Attorney - I found Patric after separating from my now ex-wife while looking for an attorney that specialized in ‘collaborative-divorces’.
Unfortunately the tactics of ex-wife's chosen of attorney drastically changed the needed approach. Patric and his team handled every challenge (and there were many) with a very difficult opposing counsel with success. He has a thoughtful, logical and methodical approach with a strong focus on the law versus emotion. I was consistently informed of the actions and strategy underway in my case, and always felt confident in he and his teams ability to reach a fair outcome, even when the other side made doing so difficult at every turn. He handled my many concerns with tact, and kept me and the case focused on the key elements, and the eventual fair and successful conclusion of the divorce.
I would strongly recommend Patric McCallum to represent anyone looking for a strong legal team in the area of family law. Furthermore I have personally referred Patric to close friends and colleagues as well for their family law needs, and they have expressed the same opinions in regards to his ability and professionalism.
He has done an overall fantastic job for me and my family during this tough experience.

Outstanding Attorney
Patric did a tremendous job for me during a difficult divorce. He is responsive and trust worthy as well as very knowledgeable of the process. He was proactive in keeping me informed and taking the time to talk me through any number of difficult issues.

Pleasant Experience Under Difficult Circumstances
In undergoing a divorce procedure and not having had any experience prior with what I should expect, I had many concerns. As I was interested in a collabrative approach, It was important for me to seek out a firm that would embrace a cooperative process and help mitigate the possibility of things going the wrong direction. It was also important for me to retain a firm who had my best interest at heart and could empathize with what I was going through while helping me keep costs down to the fullest extent possible. After having worked with Patric McCallum of Drew & McCallum, I felt like these goals were acheived. I found Patric to be professional, accessible, and responsive to my needs. He was strategic and calculated in his approach to my case, which I feel was beneficial to my outcome. I would recommend Drew & McCallum to anyone who might find themselves in a similar divorce situation and would look to them for legal advice in the future.

Do not let this man take advantage of you when you are in a crisis
Mr McCallum is a terrible attorney. He not only took it upon himself to file documents that I did not request, he refused to amend his filings because they were "not in the best interest of the client"- who was me. He took advantage of my weakness when I was going through one of the most difficult times of my life, my divorce. Not only did he get angry when I wanted to drop my case, but then when I had no other option but to pursue the lawsuit, he filed a lot of things I didn't request just to run up my bill. Then, he did not respond to my multiple inquiries regarding my discovery- until the DAY it was due. I had no legal counsel, at all, during one of the most difficult times in my life. He then got angry and didn't respond on the due date, citing I had not paid my bill. I had not only paid my account promptly (like I did every bill") I had paid him more than he requested the week before he the was supposed to turn in my documentation, and I did not have a balance due.
Now he is constantly challenging my disputes (I presume and hope he doesn't have any other clients)... he is the epitome of sleazy attorneys and I highly recommend you do not consider hiring him.
