Margaret Doyle Fitzpatrick

Trusting Margaret Doyle Fitzpatrick was a damaging and costly decision. She pushed me to file an inflammatory declaration and then refused to help me have it destroyed or redacted. She told me repeatedly it could not be destroyed. She refused to propose an idea for settlement, refused to review my... proposed settlement, and then dropped me as a client after billing me for over $20,000 of hours. After dropping me as a client, she continued to bill me for work on my case until my retainer was depleted. I strongly caution anyone against working with Fitzpatrick. She is reckless and unethical, and will not think twice about taking advantage of an emotionally charged situation, all the while assuring you she is doing the right and necessary thing.

Knowing about a friend's thoroughly disappointing experience with their lawyer I began my search process with trepidation. Ms. Fitzpatrick immediately set my mind at ease imbuing full confidence that she not only had a thorough knowledge of the law, but had genuine concern for me and was fully ready ...to protect my welfare. She let me know what to expect and guided me in securing all the documents I'd need to facilitate my case. As things developed and my stress level generated serious debilitating physical responses Ms. Fitzpatrick became a warrior to save me as she helped me complete my remaining documents, drove me to the courthouse to file and took me to the various required offices. I really don't know what I would've done if she hadn't fully shepherded me at this critical point in my life! She continued to extend expert legal counsel and showed genuine care and concern even during the months I temporarily relocated out of state including such things as giving me a status report on my home and possessions after my ex moved out and helping me negotiate the added challenges of doing certain paperwork from out of state. She continued to keep my best interests at the forefront until the lengthy process concluded. I give her the highest recommendation!

She is a very good attorney and will do her very best. I worked with Margaret: she works to understand the case -- she studies if needed to figure a good solution and she marches forward to execute on a set path. She bills for all time that she really spends working unlike... other attorney's who will bill for things that they never do. She is very fair and uses attorney time wisely. She is very organized and keeps all files in a orderly fashion. She may review things time and again but unlike others she does not bill you for it over and over again. Not every battle can be won but every battle can be fought with the best effort. She certainly gives her best. Yes, we lost on a few matters but we eventually won on what was important as we fought it till the courts understood the situation.
