The Most Responsible and Trustworthy Attorney I Have Ever Worked With

Since November of last year, I have hired four different attorneys, and Patrick C. Kershisnik is by far the most responsible, honest, and trustworthy attorney I have ever worked with. Patrick has more than 32 years of experience in divorce and family law. In June of this year, after replacing my t...hird attorney, I hired Patrick. Having worked with several attorneys throughout my difficult divorce journey, I have come to truly appreciate how rare it is to find someone with such extensive experience, strong professional ethics, and genuine concern for their clients. What sets Patrick apart is his integrity and commitment to his clients. He does not create unnecessary work or charge unnecessary fees. He does not look for opportunities to increase legal costs or recommend unnecessary legal actions simply to generate more attorney fees. His advice is always focused on the actual circumstances of the case and what is truly in his client’s best interest, rather than on making more money. After going through such a long, complicated, and emotionally exhausting divorce process, I feel incredibly fortunate to have finally found Patrick. Beyond his extensive legal experience and knowledge, what I appreciate most is his sense of responsibility, honesty, and respect for his clients. He genuinely takes his clients’ cases seriously and respects the money they work so hard to earn. If you are going through a difficult divorce and are looking for an attorney who will put your best interests first rather than create unnecessary legal disputes or expenses, I sincerely recommend Patrick C. Kershisnik. Of all the attorneys I have worked with, Patrick is undoubtedly the most responsible, ethical, and trustworthy. I am truly grateful to have found him and deeply appreciate his professional guidance and support during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I give Patrick C. Kershisnik my highest recommendation and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, professional, responsible, and ethical divorce attorney.

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.
