Carl Munson, Workers compensation Attorney

I endorse Patrick Owen Earl happily. I have been observing Patrick through Avvo and can easily say I endorse him. Just look at his answers to the questions posted here and you can see he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to really answer the questions. He doesn't just give a one-liner, standard, unhelpful answer. You can see how many attorneys agree with his answers. If he takes that much care to answer a stranger's question, think how he'll take care of you.
Bryce McPartland, Personal injury Attorney

I endorse Pat Earl's work. From my experience and observation, he routinely handles difficult cases with professionalism and care. You would be hard pressed to find a member of the Grant County criminal defense bar who has handled more cases than Pat Earl.
