The best lawyer ever!

Patricia (Trisha) has been my rock through a very difficult divorce! My ex and I separated in 2006 but he has been refusing to give me a divorce. There were several other issues involved and it was just a huge mess! Trisha is very confident, tough but very compassionate, she handled everything bri...lliantly and kept me in the loop. I was extremely stressed out for all these years and she put me at ease, she took care of everything, esp serving papers on my ex, very quickly and had my back throughout the process. I don't know how I would have gone through this process without her professional and emotional support. She puts the client's needs and wellbeing first, her fees are not exorbitant and she will work with you in every way possible, even making it easy for you to handle this financially. Her paralegal, Onetta Weedon, was very professional and efficient as well. All the staff at the office was wonderful. I will be forever grateful to Trisha to finally give me peace of mind and see me through this difficult and stressful period. I have already referred her to some of my friends and they are very happy with her as well. I highly recommend Trisha to anyone who needs a brilliant lawyer! Thank you.

Patricia is truly an excellent and passionate advocate

Tricia handled a very complex and high conflict divorce and custody case for me. I had originally hired another large firm in Austin to handle it. After several months of outrageous billings, no progress, and too many broken promises, I became very unhappy with them and hired Tricia and Gray and Be...cker to take over the case. Soon after Tricia became involved, she was able to get the case settled. She may be a young lawyer, but she is an absolute Super Star. I found Tricia to be professional, responsive, organized, well prepared, reasonable with billings, caring, and a steady hand during the stressful periods of my case. I have referred her to several others, and they are very happy with her work too. I can't say too many good things about Tricia and Gray and Becker.
