Superb Attorney

I hired Patricia Jay for a child custody case which my bitter ex refused to let me see my child. Patricia when in to the court room with an elaborate game plan, to make a long story short we walked out of court with the win. I was very impressed with her level of legal experience. I will recommend he...r to all of my family, friends and associates in the greater San Antonio area. If you want to be on a winning team hire Ms Patricia Jay as your lawyer. You will not regret it.

Made things so easy!!

Patricia Jay was a wonderful attorney for my divorce and custody case! Her and her office staff were incredibly helpful and attentive to me and the case. We encountered quite the few bumps in my case due to the other half not being in the country and out of reach. They never gave up and got done ever...ything needed in order to get him here to close the case. She was even amazing enough to go to court with me on the final court date as it was her birthday. I am very thankful she took my case and made my life as stress free as she did during the situation. I recommend Patricia to anyone that inquires about an attorney.

Custody case

As a father you all know how hard it is to be able to have a fair fight in a custody. Well with PJ she gave us hope and thanks to her I have my children 50/50. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help us. Her and her assistants were very helpful during our case answering any questions and... moving forward when I requested it. I would really recommend if you need a attorney she's the one. Thank you PJ for everything we couldn't be happier!!!

Stellar work

I rushed my divorce against the advice of my former council because my kids and I were living in an unhealthy environment since my former husband refused to leave the house. As a result, I had agreed to several provisions in the divorce that proved unfavorable to me and my kids, including us having ...to leave the house to start our life over with the clothes on our back and a few old pieces of furniture with him not even paying the kids' health insurance and a minimal amount of child support - again at no fault of my former attorney, all because I just wanted to be divorced. When I went back to my previous attorney to fix my errors, she was on maternity leave and recommended I use Patricia Jay instead. So grateful for the recommendation! She assisted me with lifting a geographic restriction that my ex spouse slipped into the decree and as a result, I was able to relocate back home to my family. Patricia and her team were always professional, courteous and most importantly honest. I never realized how complex and vexing getting divorced could be. Can't put a price on freedom though!
