Patricia is easy to work with and removed my estate planning worries from my shoulders.

I'd been procrastinating trying to cobble together an estate plan using an online service for 2 years. It was time consuming and I realized that there were too many questions that I couldn't answer for my particular situation. Hiring Patricia removed the stress and made it a simple process. It's a re...lief and she was very easy to work with.

Working With My Lawyer

Patricia worked with us to prepare wills for my husband and me. She offered options and carefully explained all the pros and cons and left the choices up to us. She had no problem adding specific clauses so that each will was customized. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Highly Recommend

Patricia worked with us on our estate planning which we had, up until that point, very limited experience with. She expertly guided us through the process, reviewed options and took the time to explain everything thoroughly to make sure our needs were met and questions were answered. Patricia made ...what could be a daunting process straight-forward and smooth.

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.

Excellent service

I agree with all these other 5 star reviews. We received great customer service and explainations all along the way. I would hire her again.

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.
