Patrick DeCarolis Jr

Although my actual divorce dragged on for over 3 years, it was by no fault of Mr. DeCarolis. I was in a terrible and complicated situation with my ex husband. Mr. DeCarolis and his team were 100% available. I had absolutely no clue where to start with the proceedings. Mr. DeCarolis was patient, a...nd extremely helpful. I didn't need hand holding, but I needed easy to understand explanations, and that's exactly what I got. When it came time to get an order for support, Mr. DeCarolis wasted no time and got me the highest amount possible (less than 5 months!). I was expecting Mr. DeCarolis to be smart and assertive because I knew I needed that for my case, and he came highly recommended from another lawyer. What I was not expecting, was the care and personal attention that Mr. DeCarolis and his team provided..a great combination for anyone who wants the very best.

I went through a nasty divorce from an attorney who knew every dirty trick in the book from stall tactics to outright perjury. I went to see many attorneys in court prior to making a decision to see their interaction with the judges. I found Patrick to have a quiet disposition in court but also had ...the utmost respect from the court as well. Patrick took over when my case when it was moved to LA county. His instinct was extremely helpful on how I should move forward in this case. Needless to say, his words of wisdom got us through a very nasty time. The court awarded me majority custody of my son, not to mention the other financial savings. Worth every penny and he was very fair in working out a payment schedule. I can't thank him enough. I have referred Patrick to other friends who have all sang his praises.

Patrick came highly recommended and helped me through a very difficult divorce. He is professional, calm, extremely savvy and I cannot say how pleased I was that I chose him. Every single piece of advice me gave me was correct and the right thing to do. He helped put me on a platform to go on with m...y life successfully and happily.

Patrick DeCarolis is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, courteous and ethical lawyers I have ever encountered. His priority first and foremost are his clients and he does all that he can to assure the best outcome. I was referred to Patrick through a lawyer friend who had a winning outcome.... My first thought was that if a lawyer hired him for his personal case then he must be an exceptional lawyer. From the first time I walked into his office I felt a sense of welcome and ease. He sat down with me and really took the time to hear my story and understand it, something pivotal to my complicated case. He did not rush me and in the end made the decision to take my case in which I am very grateful for. Clarissa Lopez was also assigned to my case in addition to Patrick working on it. She was very knowledgeable and was always one step ahead of opposing counsel. I had previously interviewed many lawyers, and also had other lawyers work on my case but upon landing at Mr. DeCarolis' office, I knew he would be the one to get me the best outcome and actually finish my case. Despite the distance from my home in Orange County, I knew the commute would be well worth it. My case had been ongoing for 6 years and was cause of turmoil in my life. Patrick DeCarolis and Clarissa helped close the case in under 6 months by making swift and appropriate decisions and approaching the opposing party from an angle that had not been considered before. I am grateful that I can move forward in my life. I only wish there were more lawyers like Patrick and Clarissa to better the world. I will forever be grateful to both of them!
