Patrick O'fiel is an amazing attorney to work with!!!

Mr. O'Fiel has been such a blessing to our family. He has helped us with numerous projects and suits. He always explains all information to us and our options. I have a way of asking tons of questions, and he has always taken the time to supply answers without any form of frustration. We trust Mr. O'...Fiel with any legal problems and will continue to do so. Best Law Office in Kerr County!!!

Patrick and Staff

Patrick and his staff were always very kind, helpful and upfront with me. They helped me through a difficult situation. I always knew I could count on them to be there for me.

Patrick represented me in a very bitter child custody case after my daughter was killed in a car accident. I wanted both childern to stay togeather and the other person only wanted one. He did a lot of research he's very professional and when it was all over both children are togeather happy to have ...each other and live with me. I would represent Patrick to my friend and anyone else

Making the best of a bad Situation

Patrick and his staff used their experience more than once too calm me from the emotion of the day. When I or my X would "get in the weads" over what I see now as a trivial matter, they would calmly usher me back to the task at hand. They let me vent and then explained what path would be in my best i...nterest... emotion aside. I would recommend Patrick O'Fiel to any and all. I believe you will part as new friends.

Better lawyers out there

Would not use again. Didn't handle my case very well. Won't return calls. Does not seem to know how to handle hit and run cases with boat trailers. Was very interested at first and seemed like it was going to work out. But it didn't.

Amos Barton

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Patrick thinks outside the box and advocates aggressively. He does well in front of Judges and Jurys because he communicates clearly. I could only select one practice area, but Patrick is excellent at family law and I have personally referred friends to him. I recommend this lawyer."

Family lawyer | May 24

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had the opportunity to observe Patrick from several vantage points. I have worked with him, in cases in which our respective clients were aligned, I have worked "against" him, in cases in which our clients were not aligned, and I have mediated cases in which he represented a party and I served as mediator. Patrick is smart, articulate, creative, effective, and persistent in advancing his clients' interests. Unlike many who call themselves family law attorneys, Patrick has the expertise and experience to try the most complicated family law matter, if the matter needs to be tried. I can recommend Patrick without reservation."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
