Patrick Lacroix

My experience with Patrick is that he was highly ethical and honest. He is highly intelligent and well spoken, he was easy to talk to and extremely intuitive pertaing to my case. He is diligent in his efforts to execute your case. My sense of Patrick is he is not just out to make a dollar, he is a... genuinly decent human being who will shoot strait with you and be very considerate in your disposition. Attorney's like Patrick are a very rare commodity which is why I call him an Attorney and not a Lawyer. I highly recommend him for Severance or Adoption, he truely was a good man to work with, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of such services... 5 stars!

I hired Patrick to represent me on two cases simultaneously, one in family law court and the other in juvenile court. He did a wonderful job focusing on each one individually while also coordinating between the two when they overlapped. As complex as things became Patrick always remembered the previ...ous conversations we’d had and what had happened in the case to that point. Patrick has a very good knowledge of the law and was able to advise me and represent me well based on that. However, his strength lies in understanding the other personalities involved and working to find a solution without always having to litigate. I did not feel that he was adverse to litigating if necessary, but rather that he always had my best interest at heart and was working to find a solution while avoiding the stress and expense of going to court if possible. For my divorce, I did not have to go to court at all but the agreement that we negotiated was weighted heavily in my favor and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. He also got this done in about half the time we were expecting. The juvenile case was more complex and required us to partner together over a long period of time. We were ultimately successful in that case as well and my son is safe in large part due to Patrick’s unwavering commitment to advocate for me and for him against all odds. Even though Patrick is such an expert at what he does, he always listened to my thoughts and opinions and made sure to understand what was important to me as we moved forward. He was completely dedicated to helping me protect my child and truly cared about me and my family. Patrick is very patient and gentle and his calm demeanor helped me relax when we were together even though I was going through the most difficult times of my life when I hired him. Lastly, Patrick’s fees are extremely reasonable for the quality representation he provides. He was also very fair in calculating the time spent working on my case.

Patrick represented my wife and I in a very unusual case where our son was in DCS custody. What made it unusual was that all three parties--us, our son and the caseworker (i.e. the State of Arizona) were all in agreement that it was in our son's best interest to remain in DCS custody, BUT there were... NO charges of abuse, abandonment or neglect. Patrick found a way to have our (the parent's) Petition for Dependency to be heard. He took a VERY unique and creative approach! Patrick is very smart, experienced, creative and compassionate. He listened to our concerns and kept me (the husband/father) calm and assured. Patrick if a fine man indeed! Lastly but importantly, he was very fair with his billing.
