Pat Barrett, An Estate Planner You Can Trust

Ms. Barrett has been my legal adviser and estate planning attorney for twenty plus years. She is knowledgeable, articulate, organized and through. She is personable and pleasant. She has helped me to keep my estate documents up-to-date as events in my life have made changes inevitable. She has alway...s been prompt in responding to any question I pose to her. I have complete confidence in her advice; and therefore, have recommended to friends and colleagues .

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+!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
