This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding Attorney

I was referred to Patrick Vail by another law firm once it became clear I needed a top-notch litigator to handle my highly complex estate case. Mr. Vail’s expertise yielded an exceptional result for my case, exceeding my expectations in every way throughout the litigation process. While Patrick’s com...munication skills (both written and verbal) were his most impressive skill, his analytical approach, judgement and perseverance were outstanding. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be represented by the best.

  • 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.
