Practical & Skilled in the Legal Beaucracy

Prior to handling my divorce, Ms. Baugher assisted in attempts to secure a Marriage Agreement where the couple could get back to a common set of goals as well as restoring mutual respect in their then more than 10 yr marriage. Several years later where irreconcilable differences remained, in a commu...nity of limited resources, opposing counsel went to unconscionable extremes to ignore, foot drag, misrepresent and fabricate, information and details. Ms. Baugher and her staff were able to avoid the repeated distractions, keeping interactions professional, practical and reasonable towards securing a settlement, fair to both parties and a Child Support Arrangement that provided shared support for the children’s interests, activities and education. As opposing counsel defied the rules and procedures for divorce proceedings, Ms Baugher proceeded in compliance with them. In instances where contempt, defiance or disregard could be proven, Ms. Baugher requested that my legal fees be paid by the opposing part. In the majority of the instances, the opposing party was sanctioned so was required to pay some portion of my legal fees, caused by their blatant disregard for the rules and procedures. The final result, cost me more in legal fees than I anticipated or intended but shielded me from costs that I may have otherwise had to assume and provided support for our children that would have otherwise been solely my burden, unless those that I couldn’t afford the full expense I withdrew our children from the programs.

Lawyer

I would like to thank Patricia and Tamara for their compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional guide and representations during the most difficult time of my life. I truly appreciate your honesty, the fact that you both told me what was possible/ not possible in my case right from the beginning a...nd at every stages of the case in the legal process. Although I always have the feeling of loose due to the fact that I lost my marriage unexpectedly for no big reason, I assure you I am very much satisfied with the outcome at the conclusion of the case. When I came to your office for the first time, I had no clue at all as to what was going to happen and now thanks to you I learned a lot along the way in the legal process.

Highest Praise

I was referred to Patricia through a client that said she helped her through a very contentious divorce and custody case. I engaged her in 2010 and she expertly guided me through a prolonged, contentious and highly litigious divorce and custody case, that ended in nine days of trial. She was my clo...sest confidant, expert advice giver, compassionate and always the voice of reason. During all the proceedings she was exceptionally well spoken, knowledgeable to the point that I actually think she may have the gift of a photographic memory, focused, and very importantly - she was caring. To this day I keep her on retainer as issues arise, and after seven years have nothing but the highest regard for her.

Great Help With My Divorce

Patricia, was great with explaining what rights I had when filing for divorce. She gave me advise on the financial side of the divorce. Her firm did all the filings for me, all I had to do was give her the information that she asked me for. It was nice not having to figure out what to do. If I ever h...ave a need for a lawyer again, I will contact Patricia.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Patricia is a strong advocate for her clients who does not jump the gun prematurely into litigation without the need to do so, but once she litigates, she does so effectively and in a time efficient manner with great professional courtesy, which tends to earn her reciprocal professional courtesies from myself and other lawyers in the community. I highly recommend her."
