Truly an Amazing, Strong, Compassionate Woman and Attorney!

There truly are no words to describe Mrs. Billings. The guidance, dedication, and support I received from her goes beyond measure! Mrs. Billings has the expertise and a very strong administration team to back her in getting the job done. My case has been an emotional journey and a test of strength, f...aith and belief. During my weakest moments, I had to completely trust this woman and believe that she was going to fight for me and my kids, I had to trust that she wouldn’t fail me, I had to trust her advice. To date, Mrs. Billings has not disappointed or failed to produce results in our favor. This woman is honestly amazing and damn good at her job! I would highly recommend Mrs. Billings to anyone seeking legal representation. Without a doubt, I would gladly trust her with any future needs, should they arise. Thank you, Mrs. Billings, for all that you have done, for your hard work, and most of all for seeing me through this till the end! You were and are truly a Blessing!

Child custody

I was in such a mess. Have battled this case for 14 years!!! Have had 4 attorneys who had promised to help. They kept my head afloat but didn't do much after that, I was recommended by a friend of a friend to Patricia Billings. I was extremely nervous but was desperate. This angel did more for me in... 3 days then my previous attorneys did in 14 years. Her team was AMAZING and SO helpful. I can't thank all of them enough for the support and honesty. They saved my daughter heart ache and helped me realize that I just need to let the anger go. Wish I would have had her since day one because I would guarantee that I wouldn't have had so many issues as I did. Patricia goes thru your case with a fine tooth comb and dots every i and crosses every T so there will be no loop holes for the other party to sneak thru. I highly recommend Patricia Billings!!!

Best family lawyer in town

Mrs. Patricia Billings and her staff are an excellent legal team. They are very patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Mrs. Billings is a top notch lawyer. She walked me through every step of the way and adviced me on what we could or couldn't do for my case. She took the time to make sure I under...stood exactly what was going on and what the next step would be. I am very thankful for all that you and your team did for me and my boys.

  • 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.
