Great lawyer

Pat gave me the guidance and stability that I really needed after my wife filed for divorce. In the midst of my mental and emotional chaos, Pat helped keep me focused on my goals and priorities. Pat and his team's knowledge and skill, combined with their understanding, supportive style, gave me a sen...se of calmness and confidence during uncertain, difficult times. It was invaluable knowing that Pat and his team were helping look out for my best interests. I'm grateful for their help and was pleased with my outcome.

Starting Over

When I realized my marriage was not something I could stay in any longer I Googled "divorce attorney". I knew I needed the help of an attorney. I was 54 years old and the thought of starting over was unbearable. Patrick helped me understand the reality of the situation. He was honest. His truth hur...t but it was the truth. He also assured me life would get better. It was hard to envision how that could be possible. I trusted Patrick and the process. Soon it was over. What he said would happen happened INCLUDING life getting better. My marriage ended March 2015 and a new life started that same day. My life is pretty good today and even paying the spousal support Pat helped negotiate on my behalf, doesn't bother me at all. When I hear people complain and rage on about their divorce attorneys I smile to myself because I actually like my attorney. He was moral, ethical, and honest. That's about all you can hope for. Thanks Pat !

Top Notch

I hired Patrick as my lawyer . Going into a divorce can be a very scary thing to do but after meeting with Patrick he Put a lot of my worries to ease . He and his staff were very professional and more than helpful through the entire process . By taking his advice and working together he was able to k...eep me out of court and i was able to reach a agreement with my ex wife. Overall dealing with Patrick and his staff was a breath of fresh air during a very stressful time in my life . I would highly recommend hiring Patrick , it was worth every penny .

Helped me two times!

Pat gave excellent advice and helped with my divorce. He was upfront and honest with me about my rights, encouraged me to accept what was right according to the law...I did not listen...I was wrong. Ten years later he helped me again with the same divorce. He actually remembered our case and helped m...e finalize a step that was never taken care of by my ex and I am so happy I called Pat again. I was successful with my case during both experiences. He was reasonable and fair in what he charged for his services. I trust him completely. During the second event I was even in a different town, 150 miles away and we worked together over the phone and by e-mail. I am completely satisfied with his professional and honest help. Listen to him and do what he says...you will not regret it!
