"Patric is the kind of lawyer who can easily see so many more moves ahead on the chessboard than his opponents. His clients benefit because he can generate outcomes based on his superior knowledge, trial skills, creative thinking, and domination of the defense. He's always on the attack and always seems to know just about how it's going to turn out!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Patric Lester for nearly a decade and in that time I have had the pleasure of litigating and trying consumer cases with him in both state and federal court with tremendous outcomes for our clients. I have also learned from Patric’s vast knowledge of consumer rights law. Patric has successfully represented consumers in individual, class actions, and multi-district litigation in FDCPA, FCRA, and TCPA cases and has made case law benefiting consumers nationwide by successfully appealing incorrectly decided lower court decisions. Patric's stellar reputation is known by the opposing counsel he faces. They understand that they are in for a hard-yet-fair fight and their clients will be held accountable. This greatly benefits Patric's clients. If you are looking for a skilled and experienced consumer rights attorney who will maximize your recovery and will command respect from the opposing attorneys and the court, you would be lucky to have Patric in your corner."

Consumer protection lawyer | Jun 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Pat Lester as a fantastic person, an excellent attorney, and honest. Once he takes on a case, Patric's all in and dedicated from start to finish, which is a rare quality among lawyers, in my experience. He is not only good at sympathy for the client but he takes the time to understand the issues and bring that out in his cases. He was incredible in settling the case we had together and I am aware from many of his other cases that he is a good negotiator. Consumers and injured persons would do well to consider Patric for their lawsuit/litigation needs."
