I could not recommend Patricia and her team more highly! New to the USA, without an understanding of Colorado employment law, her professionalism, support and straight talking, guided me through a toxic work case. She was on call at every step, for every question, navigating the companies aggressive position with speed, strategy, diligence, common sense and professionalism all while treating me with understanding and laying out all my options with clarity and detail. Not only did she deliver a successful outcome, it was above and beyond what I could have hoped for financially and professionally. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patricia, the best employment lawyer in Boulder! Thank you for everything.

Excellent legal representation
Recently I had an encounter with a Company regarding employment that did not materialize as promised. In need of a top lawyer, I was referred by friend who had a favorable experience with Patricia and her Team. Patricia led with a strategy that was back by extensive case law that allowed us to prevail in mediation. Patricia and her Team acted in a professional and timely fashion throughout my six-month experience. If you have any employment law issues complex or pedestrian, my recommendation is consider using PSB Law, you will be very pleased by the experience. Marc H

"Without the help of Patricia, I know that I would not have had the successful outcome I had. Patricia took on my case immediately, worked efficiently and quickly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. Patricia stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire process. Though we faced a few challenges, Patricia did not falter. I am proud to be a Patricia’s client and will continue to retain her for all legal matters that may arise, as I know I am in the most capable hands."

Highly recommend
My disability fight was with a private insurance company rather than SSDI, and was a nightmare. Very few attorney's deal with the private sector. At the end of my first meeting with Patricia Bellac, she said, "Don't worry, I've got this"! And she did! She and her team ('my' paralegal was Jonathan) are incredibly competent and tenacious. Patricia has excellent resources, such as Occupational Therapist's and independent doctors. All of whom really cared, were professional, and what I consider to be experts in their respective fields! Jonathan and Patricia kept in communication with me thru the whole case. And when I wasn't able to come to them in Boulder, Jonathan came to my home in Fort Collins. They wanted to win my case as much as I wanted and needed them to. I highly recommend Patricia and her team! They succeeded in winning my case!! I have complete confidence in their abilities - true excellence! THANK YOU!

Professional, Experienced, Knowledgeable and a Pleasure to Work With
I had the good fortune to work with Partricia on a very complex unemployment case. After interviewing a few other possible attorneys, I decided on Patricia because she was confident and had the experience and 'know how' to accurately represent my organization. There were numerous facets of the case to consider, with over 100 pages of documentation and an immense amount of data to understand and keep straight. Patricia was completely able to manage all facets of the case. She was professional in every regard and was a pleasure to work with. Winning this case was very important to my organization. I give Patricia my highest recommendation!
