Best outcome for me

Mr. Patton handled an old probation/warrant case for me. I found him to knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to. Communication was a strong point. Pricing was reasonable.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney

Finding an attorney is a very unnerving task, and choosing the right attorney is probably one of the most important decisions you will be faced with making when facing a criminal case. Mr. C. Bradley Patton’s experience, understanding of the law, and knowledge of the justice system is unparall...eled. Apart from these qualities as a criminal defense attorney, what makes him so special is his dedication and compassion towards his clients. After being faced with a felony charge, I was at a compete loss and felt like just another number. Mr. Patton was there by my side every step of the way and reminded me that this was just one step towards getting back on track. He came into my life at the most vulnerable and uncertain time of my life, and I could not have been in better hands. Mr. Patton cares about his work and truly recognizes the gravity of what such charges can do to a person’s life. He’s sharp, confident, personable, honest, realistic, respected by his peers and most of all he cares. I’m grateful for being given the chance to move on with my life, and could not have done so without Mr. Patton’s expertise. I highly recommend C. Bradley Patton to anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate criminal defense attorney.

Excellent defense attorney

Brad is an amazingly intelligent lawyer. The case he covered for us was highly sensationalized and very intense. Brads cool, calm demeanor reassured me to know that we had a completely competent and intellectually sound attorney. Brad was able to look at all aspects of a complex case to provide a ...solid defense. In the courtroom it was evident that he was well respect by judges and prosecutors. Defense attorneys noted that the best thing we ever did was hire Brad- I couldn't agree. His tireless hours of work has allowed us a second chance at life. I couldn't be more grateful for his help.
