This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great advice and always gets back to you

Patrick was the attorney for an estate which had two trusts in it. My wife was the executrix. The estate's terms and property were a "mess". Patrick's advice and help allowed my wife to get through the experience. We trust him and would use him again! Larry Hughes SeaTac, Wa.

My Lawyer of Choice!

Pat has been our lawyer for over six years, as we have worked to close our Father's estate. My sister and I were the Personal Representatives and we had no experience with this role. Pat has been an instructor, educator and cheerleader throughout the process, as well as a knowledgeable lawyer. He h...as been most patient with a family of seven siblings that did not agree on most things. His sense of humor, patience, ability to be tough when necessary and sensitive when it's called for are such wonderful attributes. His commitment to his clients and to his family are admirable.

Great advice from an old soul...

Bryson is one of the good guys. He's trustworthy, great at what he does, enthusiastic, empathetic and just plan good -- no, great.

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.
