Scam artist

This lawyer has no idea what he is doing and is one of the most unprofessional human beings I have ever met . How he even managed to get this far and achieve a law degree is beyond me . We paid him a nice 8k to represent our case and he didn’t even show up to court 3 consecutive times without saying ...anything and even failed to show up when the judge had mandated him . His assistants didn’t even know where he was and had even stated on record that he was notified and knew he was supposed to show up any attempt to call or text him was ignored . He tried to recommend me to ignore the judges orders and not show up to court which would’ve resulted in a warrant . It’s been weeks and he still never called or texted giving an update or explanation nor did he have anything done for my case , I pretty much was left representing myself looking stupid . After contacting the BAR I’ve found that he has a history of doing this to his clients and has numerous complaints filed against him .I gave him 8k and he didn’t even show up to one court hearing this man is a scam do not give him your money . After him bombing my case and pissing the courts off with his carelessness and unprofessionalism I was incarcerated and after attempting to call him cause he said he would get me on calander to fix the mistake he ghosted me and I haven’t heard from him since , he decided to call it a job well done and left me in there . Do not give this man your money cause after I gave him mine I never saw him again , literallly .

Truck driver

Well I'm a self employed truck driver who's life depends on my license. I was off duty at home having a few drinks with my wife when my kids asked for mc donalds because they were hungry so I went apon returning home got pulled over had a limit of .12 was arrested and thought my life was over. I did ...research on the best dui attorney in Bakersfield and Patrick's law form came up. So I called talk to Patrick explained situation he then told me what I was looking at and it had me terrified of loosing my lively hood. He explained exactly what he would do that was different from every other attorney and that he would do everything in his power to help and boy did he ever. Got my case dropped down to a wet and reckless and also did the DMV hearing as well. I never got my license suspended or revoked no jail time and little fees at end. Very long process but I was able to work the whole time. He would always answer my phone calls no matter what time or day to calm me down and walk me through the whole process. He is so knowledgable of every aspect of the dui process and goes above and beyond what any other dui attorney would do. I honestly think from talking to other lawyers they just dont know what he knows or just dont want to do the extra work to get best results. Yes hes a little pricey but worth every penny. That old saying you get what you pay for is exactly rite 100%. BEST DUI ATTORNEY IN CALIFORNIA.
