Patricia D. Barrett, an attorney you can trust

I have been Ms. Barrett's client for over ten years. She was my brother's estate planning attorney and when he died she helped me as the trustee of his trust. She then helped me set-up my own estate planning documents. Since then, she has remained available to help me with any questions I have had. I... rest easy knowing she is there for me whenever the occasion arises. I trust her implicitly.

Knowledgable, Responsive, Listens to Concerns AND Offers Clear Legal Advice and Documentation

I moved to Patricia Barrett from another attorney and she helped to update Trusts for my aunts, uncle, cousins, friends, parents and myself. She is extremely easy to work with and assists with filing documents. The transition was seemless and a relief to ensure all has been cared for as my family wou...ld hope. All whom I referred to her are extremely pleased.

Established my Revocable Living Trust in 1991, updated documents in 2013.

Pat Barrett was the attorney I chose to establish my Revocable Living Trust Estate Plan in 1991.. On that she is absolutely the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, insightful and thorough. She thinks of things that would never occur to you and that are crucial to your estate planning. She origin...ally did our Revocable Living Trust, Durable Power of Attorney for Property and Health, Pourover Will, and Directive to Physician. Last year she updated our trust. On both occasions she was superb. I have referred her to numerous friends and they all have been very pleased with her. I would always highly recommend her.

Excellent Attorney, Excellent Advice

I was referred to Patricia Barrett at a particularly stressful time. I was dealing with the loss of my mother and trying to handle her estate. Suffice it to say, the lawyer who had drawn up my mother's trust had me jumping through hoops. Not only was he condescending, but he had me bogged down in ...tasks that ended up being unnecessary. Thank God I found Patricia Barrett. She told me exactly what I needed to do, in language that I could easily understand. She explained what had to be done thoroughly, clearly and concisely. And, most importantly, she was supportive and made it known that our interests were her utmost concern. She subsequently prepared living trusts for both myself and my husband, as well as several other family members and friends. I would recommend her wholeheartedly, without hesitation. If 5 stars is the top rating, she deserves 5+!

Excellent attorney, very community minded

Patricia Barrett has been a trusted attorney for our family for as long as I can remember. She handled the trust for my mother-in-law, handled the trust for my wife and I, and also handled the trust for a close friend of the family. She is personable, and completely professional. I always feel as if... my questions are answered clearly and directly and she addresses all of my concerns. She also supported me with filing paperwork for my 501 C3 and I had no problems with the process. Great attorney!
