Family 50%

I began handling family matters in 2012 when I started doing civil litigation. Much of the work was pro bono litigation for indigent clients. Since moving to Washington, I have increased my practice in this field and accept family cases in King and Snohomish Counties.

40%
Personal Injury 10%

From 2012-2015, personal injury was my primary area of practice. In that time period, I accrued a significant amount of experience in these matters and I have litigated a wide variety of personal injury cases. I am happy to provide consultations on these cases, but I only accept certain types of personal injury claims, because it is a specialized field.

Posted by Dennis | June 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Patrick was outstanding and resolved our troubles...

When we had a dispute with our neighbor, we have searched for that compassionate and caring attorney who would represent us in court. A few interviews with several attorneys - we did not have that "gut feel" about any of them. Then we were referred to Patrick Songy. From our first conversation and ex...plaining our troubles, he understood "on the fly" what the situation was and took good notes. Honest and sincere, he recommended a plausible course of action. Conscious of our "budget," he made sure that we achieved the results we were seeking in a short time-frame. We appreciated his "cool" during a seriously stressful time in our life and working tirelessly with opposing counsel to come to a mutual agreement that was sealed in court. Thank You Patrick!

Unknown lawyer | Nov 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Patrick Songy, Esq. without hesitation. Patrick Songy is a strong advocate for his clients, works tirelessly to help them receive the best outcome possible, and truly cares about those whom he represents. Mr. Songy also shares his expertise with those who may not otherwise be able to afford counsel in pro bono cases within the community. His time at the Public Defender’s office earned him invaluable experience as he took on more and more challenging cases beginning with misdemeanor cases all the way up to the appellate level. I would recommend any of my family or friends to Patrick because I know that those I care for will be in good hands."
