Cleared up mental health related assult charge

Mr. Lackie represented my wife over a old assault related to her mental illness. He had the case dismissed, and did an excellent job at keeping things simple and non traumatic for her. He also looked big city smart, and we were fortunate to have him as public defender, I doubt we could afford what hi...s time was worth.

Effective, Quick and Fair

I had a parking lot bump, got out and checked but saw no damage and left. Then I got an aggressive cop banging on my door and charged me with a hit and run. There was a small amount of damage after-all. This is considered a misdemeanor and can impact future insurance and drivers license renewals. Als...o, being unemployed made all the legal and court costs involved all that more difficult to manage. Patrick took the case and made the legal fees easier to handle. He did all the paperwork and got all the ducks in a row, so when it was time to go to court he was able to have the charges dismissed with prejudice, (which is a good thing).

PTL he'll defend you like family.

I recently had the misfortune of having a meeting with a county mounty that led to criminal charges being filed against me for possession. This was a very stressful potentially life altering situation for me. I contacted Mr. Lackie and gave him my case numbers. He took the time to explain to me what ...I was facing with the charges filed and what his plan of action was going to be. His knowledge of the judicial system and the courts made me feel good about having him represent me. I have had several attorneys that seamed as though they just wanted to get paid and could care less about what happened to me. While Mr. Lackie didn't do it for free it never felt like it was about the money. I always got the feeling he cared about me and the outcome of my case. Like he had a personal interest in the outcome. Mr. Lackie's aggressive handling of my case and knowledge resulted in a dismissal with a year of probation. The year went without a hitch and now its like it never happened. Pat Lackie has forced me to re-evaluate what I look for in an attorney, empathy and someone who truly cares are one and two on the list.

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."
