Although our practice specializes in representing contractors, I have been an active trial attorney throughout my twenty plus years of practice. I have taken over twenty cases to a jury verdict.. I have had numerous bench trials. I also have had an active appellate practice with three published cases (see below) in varied areas of practice. I have obtained two, million dollar verdicts for clients. I also speak Dutch fluently, was born in the Netherlands and also speak some Spanish and German, not fluently but passably. My husband and I practice together in a small office setting.

Hi, I am a Public Works General Contractor in the Orange County area for over 20 years. I was introduced to Patricia Teunisse and Randy Pitre of Pitre & Teunisse in 1998. Our meeting with Patricia and Randy went very well and they have handled all of our legal matters ever since. As a general co...
"Patricia has an excellent reputation in our legal community with both attorneys and judges alike. Attorneys I know trust her with their own cases and she is a delight personally."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Pat for a number of years. Several years ago I had the pleasure of working with her on a case that gave us an opportunity to flex our litigation muscles. Pat was able to obtain quick and favorable results for her client in that matter. I find Pat to be a very competent and highly skilled litigator and would highly recommend her to anyone in search of a good litigator."
"Patricia Teunisse demonstrates extensive knowledge and experience in a wide variety of legal matters, particularly with regard to construction, real estate, and business litigation. Her responses on Avvo are remarkably thoughtful, articulate and accurate. I have tremendous respect for her sound legal knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge. She is a true asset to our legal community. It is my pleasure to endorse her."
"I worked as opposing counsel with Pat on a legal separation matter involving a paving company. Although divorce isn't her main area of practice she was very knowledgeable and able to merge her expertise in Construction and corporate law with the family law matter very well and to the benefit of the entire case."
