Look if you need a divorce lawyer - Patricia Jay is the one to have!

I'm a working professional with 2 children. When it was time for my divorce, I interviewed a number of attorneys. The others began by reviewing my finances. Ms Jay began by talking to me about my children and my goals. She was the steady voice of reason during a very difficult and emotional time for ...me and my children. I give her my highest recommendation. She's an outstanding attorney.

outstanding attorney

Patricia Jay was the best thing that happened to me. I struggled for 3 years trying to get my Ex-husband to pay me my court ordered property division after our divorce. Patricia was professional, knowledgeable, and straight to the point. She was the first attorney I had that actually got results. ... I would 100% recommend her to everyone.

Amazing!!!

Patricia has renewed my faith in attorneys! She is excellent, direct, aggressive and doesn't blow smoke up your ass. She is a no nonsense attorney and we would t be where we are without her! Had to learn the hard way and go through a few attorneys before finding this gem, she took great care and prid...e in this case as I'm sure she does with all her cases. You will not be disappointed or feel abandoned with her on your side. She's definitely our go to for any future family law issues!

Great Choice

She was very caring and quick to do her job. I highly recommend using her for family matters. She is flexible with her schedule and gives her honest opinion so you know what to expect.

Amazing Attorney

I'll just start with saying this attorney is absolutely AMAZING!!! She is the real deal and you would be selling yourself short by not working with Patricia Jay. I couldn't be happier with my outcome because yes it ended in my favor but the part I appreciate the most is the hard work and time that we...nt into preparing my case. Being military can make it harder in these kinds cases but Patricia and her paralegal gave me hope for my situation even when I had doubts. It had already been a long drawn out process that lasted for almost two years. Not to mention I had two attorneys before her who just couldn't deliver. When you are searching for a good attorney in time it will become very apparent if they are actually working for you or just taking your money. Unfortunately, that is the issue I had with my prior attorney and I would often beat myself up that I wasn't able find Patricia sooner. I finally switched about 7 months before the final hearing and I am so grateful I did. Patricia and Lisa (her paralegal) did an amazing job by keeping me updated on everything and quickly responded to all of my questions. I will say that Patricia is a very straightforward individual which I very much appreciated. I have nothing but respect for it despite having to hear some very hard truths. The final hearing lasted for two days but despite the long hours she was fierce in court. I knew she was the real deal when she even remembered and brought up details that I had momentarily forgot about. Those were crucial details because it helped seal the deal for my case and thankfully I ended up getting primary custody of my daughter. Patricia I have nothing but respect for you and it is attorneys like you and your team that bring back hope to those seeking real representation. I couldn't thank you guys enough for all your hard work and dedication because my daughter means the world to me!
