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.

Modification to child support

I will start out by saying that, Patricia is not only an AMAZING attorney... she is also very SMART and knows her stuff well. She does not play around and takes her cases on head strong and delivers EXCELLENT. She did what 2 other attorneys I previously hired before her failed to do in the time span... of about a week . My case started out simple. I filed for a modification through the attorney general because I qualified . due to a few life changing events. one I had another child, and the other I had injured my back and it kept me from doing what I have been doing for the past 15 years. So I was not bringing in the income I had at one point. Well having a money hungry ex wife who needs money to support her other kids from another man ( who does not work) was not agreeing to my modification! So I hired my 1st attorney who took my money of about 1500 $ and did nothing but show up in court one time for about 30 minutes . We could not come to an agreement so it got rescheduled ..... umm about 7-10 times bc this attorney was either out of town or out for medical reasons. Long story short.... I hired my 2nd attorney. Who did pretty much the same thing...... well he actually answered my calls (sometimes) but never would set a date . I kept telling him I wanted this case closed. and that in the meantime I was racking up a lot in back pay , due to me not being able to continue the amount I was still suppose to pay. , but it was based on what I was making at the time. He did not care... he just kept telling me he had other cases to take care of. THEN I was referred to Patricia! She gave us a free consultation and basically she heard us out and told us that she would do her best to get this case won but she ALWAYS upfront with us. She filed motions for us that neither attorney had done. My case went on for about 1 1/2 yrs, because I was hiring attorney who had no reviews, and took payments. Lesson learned. You get what you pay for. I cannot stress enough that Patricia will do everything she can for you. She comes prepared. She had everything in her brief case. She had the calculation already done, she had all the prior paperwork. She was very organized and ready to work for us. She is honestly someone I would never want o go up against. EVER. Her paralegal was great, answered my e-mails back quick and if she busy she found time to get with me. My case ended up going before a judge and was an all day thing ... because my ex was not agreeing to anything. I will be completely honest, I felt so good when the judge granted our request. It felt even better when I knew my money finally went to someone who deserved it. Whether your case is something minor or major, you get what you pay for. I would hire again in a heart beat. THANK YOU PATRICIA!!!
