Mr. Patoile is an exceptional attorney

Mr. Patoile is an exceptional criminal attorney who displayed remarkable professionalism while representing me in a falsely accused criminal case. His expertise, dedication, and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, leading to a successful resolution of the case. I highly recommend... his services to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable legal advocate. Thank you, Mr. Patoile, for securing justice and restoring my peace of mind.

Very Efficiet Attorney

Mr. Patoile handled my case very effectively. His instructions and explanations were simple, clear, and direct. He did what he said he would do quickly and without fuss. He negotiated with the other party and quickly reached an appropriate and acceptable settlement. I would use Mr. Patoile's services... again without question.

Lazy but overcharging

Marc nearly messed up my divorce case. He is lazy and doesn't agree with his new co-attorney at all, on anything, plus they charged me for their millions of 'conferrals', that still didn't bring anyone up to speed. He hasn't read or responded to one single email but would call at random times. Addit...ionally, he would cancel appointments on multiple occasions for personal reasons for example 'going to the vet'. He came to my hearing unprepared and at a loss for words when he found out the judge he 'knew and was friends with' changed. He let me down on a human level and I am beyond disappointed in the reviews that I read that did not reflect my experience. Do not hire Marc unless you just need a living body to represent you.

Did not follow through

Marc Patoile -the attorney I hired to represent me for my divorce - did not follow through with what he said he would do. He assumed I knew how the law works and did not explain things well to me. The one reference that he gave to me for a CPA did not perform which set us back. I asked Marc about ...this and he told me he was mad at the CPA but Marc did not clear it up with the CPA. I received Poor communication from him. When I asked clarifying questions, I received yelling and less help. For example he would not return my phone calls or email. I had an appointment specifically to speak with the CPA and Marc. He canceled the appointment and told me to wait. After three weeks, I emailed and asked what I should be doing. He said it was too late to get things ready for our mediation and so we were left with nothing ready. I had everything prepared and was waiting for Marc. He chose to not follow through, to not call me, to not work things out I was not prepared for my mediation. He said I was welcome to call other CPAs and try to get the information but we only had 10 days so good luck. Therefore I was not able to go to mediation and we had to change the date again. That is only one of several instances in which I was not served. I am happy to provide email proof of these things.
