Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Abuse

Easily swayed by opposition. Failed to deliver observable results.

Ms Bushman holds a law degree and has many years of experience, There is no doubt that when she applied herself she can win for her client. Unfortunately my case seemed to fall through the cracks in her work load. She was very difficult to get a hold of. When Inwould call more often than not I had t...o speak with one of her assistants who were.not able to help other than taking a message. I appreciate being spread too thin and having too many comittmentd, however I would ask if that's the case are you really serving your clients properly? Ms Bushman at times was very reactive and failed to control her emotions when speaking to me, her paying client. At times she threatened me with withdrawing her services knowing we had important court dates coming up. At times I questioned her commitment to my case given her volunteer work at Food Bank sermed to take priority over returning my calls. She seemed to give up and essentially buckle under the view points of opposing counsel. Essentially sfe talked me in to agreebig to terms that have traumatized my child all in favor of opposing counsel. I agreed to the terms proposed with the hope of allowing the acrimony to settle, this was a huge mistake. As time has passed the opposition haa only become more emboldened and less open to coparenting with me than before. Ms Bushman's relationships with other attorneys seen to hold very little influence exhibited by their reluctance to be open to negotiating wit the terms she would provide in mediation. She ensured that I was always paid up in full so there was no question about her commitment to get paid. I understand she's running a business but bottom line Ms Bushman failed to deliver results on her committmenf to me and my child when we came to her for help. Please be certain to have an easy case because unfortunately Ms Bushman just did not seem to want to engage and fight for her client despite having hard physical evidence of abuse stated by the child regarding the opposition.

I have no idea who this is and do not recognize the fact pattern. In general, I tell clients what I think will happen, which is often not what they want to hear. I fight for them in Court, but privately I'm going to tell them what I think. I do volunteer work with the Houston Food Bank, but I do not let it interfere with my cases. I'm sorry this person was unhappy, but if they wanted someone to just agree with them, they should have hired someone else.

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."
