Hands down best attorney

We came to her having spent over 12000 dollars on a fight seeming to go nowhere. Always dissatisfied with the lack of effort on our previous attorneys part. I felt hopeless, and like we were feeding into a never ending money put with no results. Finding Patricia changed everything, and we immediately... felt back on track. She is quick to respond, never leaves us out of attorney client conversations, and is just flat out amazing. My husband's ex wife is always trying to break every rule while not even letting my husband have what he's entitled to. Having Patricia has made following the court orders the only option, which negates any conflict in the "grey zones". I highly recommend her. I can honestly say if you don't like her as an attorney you are probably the dreadful client who is after more than they are entitled to.

Worked for us

Patricia helped our son through a difficult divorce/bankruptcy/child support process. She guided us through the myriad of hearings and filings associated with parental rights and child support issues. She is always professional and prepared for court hearings and does an excellent job of keeping u...s informed of current status.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"How refreshing! A lawyer who actually understands the virtues of respect and honesty when negotiating the most important aspects of people's lives: their children, their homes, and their financial future. It would be a mistake to confuse her niceness with a lack of tenacity. She is tough, fair and ethical. The best."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
