Patricia is an awful lawyer
Patricia is an absolute terrible lawyer. She doesn't care about her clients. I don't know where these 5 stars ratings came from. Based on my experience with her, I can almost guarantee they are fake. She charged me $5,000.00 to take my case and an additional $2,000 monthly flat rate. I spent a total ...

Replied last June 18, 2022Unfortunately, we cannot please everyone. Also given the nature of our services and the confidentiality surrounding them I will not respond specifically to the poster's comments about his case. However, none of the reviews on AVVO, Google, or anywhere else for Rodriguez Law Group, Inc. are fake. I am absolutely an incredible attorney who cares about all of her clients. I work hard for all of my clients including at night and on the weekends. I do not have children and am not married because I have a twelve-year-old (my law firm). I've dedicated my entire life to my practice and my clients. My firm handles all court hearings and does not fail to appear. I am always reachable via email and phone and will in general have a phone call with any client within 24-48 business hours of the request. It's unfortunate that this particular client didn't work out with our services, but we wish him the best in all of his future endeavors.

Patricia just cares...
Patricia is wonderful. I've come to her for a few cases now, and every time she's been realistic, compassionate and she works her tail off. I appreciate her honesty and I feel that she treats me the same way she'd treat a family member.

She Saved Our Home
We were at the end of rope. We had been in this fight for Five years. We filed for modification after modification, and BK. Patricia took our case and filed the correct paperwork to get us enough time to get a new loan

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.
Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2020
updated on 05/17/2022This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
Patricia’s comment:
“All of my work is insured. My license is and will remain active. This was related to loan modification work in 2015 in the context of foreclosure defense, not any criminal defense, civil defense, custody, or divorce work. It was due to the bar's interpretation of a statute after the fact, one in fact, that helped the bank's more than the consumer. I stand by my decisions and continue to fight the banks for the borrowers at all costs. However, I do not do any loan modification work.”
