Estate planning
My husband and I needed to write new wills because the previous lawyer really botched things. We met with Pat and found that he was a really good listener and very knowledgeable about how to accomplish what we needed to put our estate in order. We just signed our paperwork and what a relief to have this all done. I’m confident in the work and would recommend Pat to anyone needing this type of work done!

Estate Planning Made Easy
My wife and I finally got our Wills, POAs, and Marital Property Agreement completed. Patrick and his Paralegal Steven were awesome. They made the process so much easier than I thought and very efficient with their communications and turnaround of the documents. I have the utmost confidence that we are covered to the extent we need to be right now.

Updated Estate Planning
Patrick and his paralegal assistant, Steven, we’re wonderful in helping us update our Estate Planning. Our life circumstances had changed, and we needed advice on legal options in order to update our Estate Plan. They were great listeners and with us created a plan that is perfect for our situation and goals. We were appreciative with both their kindness and professionalism.

Great to work with.
Patrick did my estate planning, will, POA, etc. I was very pleased with the process, how quickly they were finished and that Patrick explained the different aspects of my choices to me again at signing. I do not have a large estate but my choices were important to me and he treated me and the process with respect.
I would hire him again and will recommend him.
