Hire Pat Bushman if you want to win
She represented me in a nasty child custody case against my ex. On cross examination of my ex she showed the judge that he was a total liar. My legal fees were 1/2 of what my ex paid . If you need a skillful and incredible attorney I highly recommend her.

Top notch attorney!
Attorney Bushman was my attorney in a child modification case. Her office is child friendly and I felt very comfortable. It was not a typical attorney office. Her staff was so nice whenever I called. I was really scared but she made me feel so much better at our first meeting. At mediation we rejecte...

Calm, Professional, and Caring
Pat handled my divorce with class. I was feeling hurt and lost - Pat brought calm and clarity to a very frustrating process. The biggest thing I want to mention is her follow-up. The devil was in the details when my ex kept changing jobs to avoid child support. At the lowest possible cost to me and ...

Pat Bushman is one tough, smart attorney!
She got me custody of my kids from my ex-wife. It was a horrible custody battle. She did an outstanding job for me.
Patricia Faye Bushman's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"If you want an attorney who knows family law inside and out, this is the attorney for you. She is a great person and will you get the best possible outcome for your case. She is affordable, and she cares."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I know Patricia Bushman because I have worked as an opposing counsel, I have worked as a mediator for her. I know that she is zealous, super competent and brave in battle. You won't be disappointed if you hire her. She is very good."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Bushman is a lawyers lawyer, the type of person you can trust and who you know cares more about her clients than anything else. She is a credit to the legal profession. and I highly recommend her legal services."
"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."
