Hire this lawyer now!

Ms. Bushman did an outstanding job on my difficult legal modification case. The opposing counsel was board certified and Ms. Bushman was able to go toe-to-toe with this hot shot attorney. She seemed knew everyone at the courthouse. The judge treated her in a very respectful manner. I wish I...'d hired her earlier. I've had bad experiences with some attorneys in the past - Ms. Bushman is tough, smart, and a no frills kind of person. She sends out monthly invoices that are easy to read. My case cost a lot but my ex paid a whole lot more to the hot-shot attorney. Her deposit is reasonable and I was able to make monthly payments on the work she did for me. Her office and her dress is not fancy but she knows her stuff. She did not over-promise -- she delivered exactly what she said she would. The judge ruled exactly as she predicted. I was not 100% happy with the result but Ms. Bushman had warned me and I was willing to take the risk. This case took a lot longer than I wanted but Ms. Bushman had warned me of this when I first hired her. If I need any legal advice in the future, I will definitely call her again. I've read about her assistant, Mandy, being rude. I worked with both of her assistants, Jessica and Mandy, they were both friendly and helpful. They are not allowed to give out legal advice so they have to talk to Ms. Bushman. Ms. Bushman apparently is in court a lot and they always replied to my emails or phone calls within a day. If Ms. Bushman was in court they got the answer to me as soon as they could. After being in court for most of a day with Ms. Bushman, I know that she turns off her cell phone when she's in the courtroom. She does not return phone calls on nights and week-ends. It's much faster just to talk to one of her assistants and someone always called me back with an answer within a day or so. If you want someone to be available 7 days a week then hire someone else. My ex was also unhappy with the response time with the hot-shot attorney - perhaps this is common in attorney offices. But then, my CPA usually takes a day or two to respond so I've learned that professionals don't always respond within 24 hours. If you need an attorney that will give you sound advice and not make all sorts of promises that she cannot deliver on, I highly recommend Ms. Bushman.

Adoption lawyer | Oct 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Patricia and I have worked together on a most difficult and complex adoption matter for the past year. She is not only a beacon of light in navigating through the many pitfalls that often arise in an adoption, but she has turned into a wonderful mentor who I have come to rely on greatly for her expertise and approach in navigating legal theory as it relates to the law. I highly endorse this attorney, and would recommend her to anyone in need of legal guidance and representation - not just for adoptions, but for any area of family law."

Family lawyer | Nov 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Pat Bushman and I have shared office space for over 5 years. I would not office with Pat unless I respected her. I refer my family members to her. She has represented me in a legal matter and I'm really picky. Pat handles family law primarily in Harris County, but she will travel to many other counties. She has a lot of trial experience. The judges know & respect her. She has been appointed by the judges to represent children in litigated cases - this shows how much they respect & value her opinion. She accepts Texas Attorney General cases. Pat handles primary family law and estate planning (wills). I think that Pat's prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of service that she provides. She accepts credit cards and offers payment plans. She is also an experienced mediator. Pat's first appointment is FREE & she will quote you her deposit at that first appointment Her legal assistant's name is MANDY."

  • 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.
