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.

A good result for a potentially tragic situation

My son was threatened by a mentally unstable person and the legal system was very slow to deal with the problem. Mr. Patton followed up in a very timely fashion with evidence for the district attorney that allowed the police to take the party into custody and he is now in jail and my son is safe.

Great DUI defense

Brad did an excellent job managing my defense--I couldn't have been happier. He did extensive due diligence digging into the specifics of my case, uncovering several hidden and helpful points which he ultimately brought forward to negotiate a reduced charge and penalties. Brad was a pleasure to w...ork with and clearly demonstrated his expertise and knowledge in this area of law. He is well known and deservedly respected in the legal and courthouse community, which he leverages for the benefit of his clients. I highly recommend Brad to anyone in this situation and have referred him clients already.

General Patton

Mr. Patton has handled several of my cases, ranging from D.U.I.'s to other serious matters. Each time he has handled everything very smoothly. His knowledge and experience in the courtroom and his reputation amongst his colleagues and peers is second to none. When you hire Mr. Patton, you ar...e getting the Clint Eastwood of the Wild West. When he speaks in a court room people listen and show their respect. Trust me that goes along way with judges, district attorney's, and courtroom personnel. Do yourself a favor and at least sit down for a consultation. You will not be disappointed.

Outstanding Legal Service!

Mr. Patton is an incredible courteous, understanding, and experienced attorney I have been fortunate to hire. He explained all options patiently and explored routes to ensure I was given the best representation. The outcome was exactly how he portrayed and the communication throughout was above excep...tional. You can see his experience shine just by how the courtroom full of his colleagues and government officials speak to him. I would recommend him for all of your legal services!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
