Posted by anonymous | September 11, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Speeding ticket resolved

I really appreciate Patrick for his incredible work on my speeding ticket. This was in Skagit County, WA, where everyone said it’s nearly impossible to get tickets dismissed, but thanks to his professionalism and expertise, the case was amended and the insurance company won’t be affected. Patrick ...was very professional, efficient, and responsive throughout the process, answering questions quickly and keeping us updated at every step. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to navigate tough traffic cases, I highly recommend him. He delivers results where others say it can’t be done.

Amazing legal representation

I recently worked with Patrick Lackie, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Facing a potential DUI conviction, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. From the start, he demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He worked persistently to negotiate... with the prosecutor, and advocate for me. Thanks to his efforts, my charge was reduced to a non-criminal offense. This was a significant improvement that saved me from harsher penalties and long-term consequences. Throughout the process, Patrick Lackie kept me informed, answered all my questions, and guided me with clarity and confidence. He truly went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated attorney, I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Lackie. I am incredibly grateful.

Thank you

I used Mr. Lackie on a couple complicated situations and he helped me through the entire process with attention to detail and would let me understand exactly what was going on at all times. I highly recommend him.

Very responsive and exceptional lawyer

I contacted Patrick Lackie to assist me with a demand letter for a judgment that I was attempting to collect. He was one of the few attorneys that responded and said he could help me. Patrick wrote several letters on my behalf and was able to solicit a response and offer from a defendant that had p...romised to pay but then ghosted me. Patrick is very responsive; I was very happy that he did everything that he said he would do and in a timely manner. I highly recommend Patrick Lackie!

Exceptionally Intelligent, Experienced, Compassionate

After I was falsely accused of a crime and was assigned ineffective assistance of counsel, Patrick appeared from out of the blue, took my case, and got the charges dismissed. I don't think I spoke with him or corresponded with him for more than a half hour total, yet he quickly grasped all the iss...ues and worked directly over a period of months with the parties to dismiss. He is an exceptionally intelligent, experienced, and compassionate attorney, overlain with quiet vitality and a sublime self-confidence. I will forever be in his debt.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"As a former prosecutor who worked opposite Mr. Lackie for 2 1/2 years, I wholeheartedly endorse him as a very highly skilled attorney. A client in need of help would be hard pressed to find a more tenacious, persistent and aggressive defender. I have known Mr. Lackie for almost 5 years and would highly recommend him - his knowledge of the law and of the local court system is indeed enviable, and his skill as a negotiator is superb. He is, in short, an outstanding advocate who consistently obtains very good outcomes for his clients."
