Excellent work, timely and fairly priced

Patricia was hired to handle the estate and probate portion of a wrongful death case I was handling. Her work was excellent, it was timely and it was fairly priced. She's exceptionally knowledgeable, has finely tuned people skills and a sincere compassion for her clients that instantly puts them at e...ase. If you're looking for an attorney for estate planning, probate, wills or trusts, look no further.

Review of Patricia A Clements

Patricia recently helped us with our estate planning. She did a great job and she treated us quite well throughout the process. I found Patricia's name on the Oregon Bar website. After calling several attorneys in the Portland area to inquire about their services, we decided to go with Patricia be...cause of her transparency, client focus and quality of work. In an era where many people from the legal profession fail to treat their clients as their first priority, Patricia did the opposite. She worked with us at each step of the process, answered our numerous questions and accommodated our busy schedules. One thing that Patricia did for us that many other attorneys refused to do was to meet with us after normal business hours. She was great in accommodating our needs. Patricia got our business because she took a little extra effort to make things happen. I wish more more people in her profession treated their clients like she does. Though she is relatively new to the legal profession, she makes up for her lack of experience with her client-centered focus in how she conducts business.

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.
