Very knowledgeable and she gets it done right

We had Patricia set up 8 LLC’S. She did it and thouroughly answered all our questions and concerns throughout the process. We felt very confident with her expertise.

An attorney who's a pleasure to work with

My wife and I had an old (too old) estate plan which desperately needed updating. We kept putting it off based on previous experiences with previous attorneys we'd worked with. It was truly out good luck to find and work with Patricia Clements. An absolute professional in every respect: knowledgea...ble and thorough but also, most importantly for us, patient and truly willing to spend the time to explain the finer points of our new estate plan. We even had a few laughs and enjoyed the pleasure of her company. We wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Patrica to anyone in need of an absolutely delightful estate planning attorney which we came to discover, is not only a possibility but a reality.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
