This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Proffesional/Detailed/Competent/Committed

I recently had a contractual issue and Patrick was able to help out in manner that resulted in a positive outcome. I was impressed how quickly he responded to inquiries (and in a thoughtful and professional manner). Professionally, he was very competent, skilled, diligent & detailed. But beyond tha...t, he was also kind and encouraging and easily put myself at ease in what felt like a daunting task. I appreciated how responsive he was to questions and emails and how committed he was to success. I am more than pleased with the whole process and I would recommend Mr.Kwan without hesitation..

Wrong expertise and bad timing

I imagine Patrick is a good business lawyer judging by these reviews. A mutual acquaintance encouraged me to retain him to work on a highly charged potential case in an area requiring great specialization. Patrick also was otherwise occupied by personal matters at the time. He should not have taken m...y case as he lacked the expertise and time to do it justice, causing harm and wasting me money. I think he was trying to be a good guy in this, but it served neither of us well. I imagine we both learned from it. I probably would not retain Patrick again, but I imagine he is a solid general business attorney. I do think he is a caring, ethical person.

Best in the Business!

Pat initially helped us create and set up our LLC. He is extremely transparent and made the process easy for my business partner and me. He also takes care of annual renewals, various other filings, and more. Not only that but he also is extremely responsive when we have consulting questions or conce...rns.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Patrick in a personal capacity for over a decade, and in that time he has shown nothing but integrity, diligence, and a willingness to help those around him. I find these qualities of utmost importance in a legal practice, and he has them in abundance. In the legal work we have accomplished together, he has been professional and forthright. Unlike many attorneys, he has the ability to admit "I don't know, I need to research that" instead of just making up an answer. This is a completely underrated quality. The right answer is so much more important than the fast one. I respect Patrick both personally and professionally, and I am pleased to recommend him for any legal issues you or a loved one may be facing."
