Terrible Lawyer

This Lawyer had my case for over a year then dumped my case... But that's not the worst part .. the insurance company made a offer to settle and he never discussed this with me.. I only found out thru his paralegal that they wanted to settle... I had to get new lawyer and settle the case 10 months l...ater for only a fraction of what the original settlement offer was.... Thanks Pat you really screwed me..... Also if your a minority stay away from this lawyer.....He plays the have and have nots game on what he feels you deserve.... He will catch and kill your case .. I see exactly who and what you are Pat... Stay away from this lawyer... I had to file a complaint against him with the state board

Exellent Experience

A friend of mine referred me to Pat after my son had been in a serious accident. I had waited on the insurance company for just under a year and they wouldn't even return our calls. I contacted Pat and to help my son and the case was settled within months. I feel like my sons claim got the attention ...it needed. Pat was knowledgable and very helpful, he explained things along the way which was what my son and I needed. I feel like my sons best interest was important to him. I am so grateful to have been referred to him and would recommend him in the future. Thank you Pat & Dawn!!

THE BEST ATTORNEY IN SPOKANE

If you're looking for an attorney to represent you, look no more. I've had honest, clean, detailed and caring communication throughout the entire process of my case. Because of divorce I've had a few attorneys in the past and Patrick and the office staff gave me their best. They went to battle for me... throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this team to you.

smartest best attorney i have ever worked with.

Pat handled two seperate large matters for me. The first was a personal injury involving Michigan no-fault law. He handled the matter professionally and i was very satisfied. The 2nd matter involved engineering malpractice. Again Pat handled the matter extremely well. Pat has also provided very ...valuable business and personal advice over the past 10+ years.

Outstanding Attorney

My wife and I have used Attorney Pat Fannin a few times for Personal Injury and Real Estate. Pat was always professional, competent, responsible, reliable, honest and respectful. Pat has excellent communication skills and is extremely knowledgable in law. He won a case for us against the United Sta...tes Government! We would not hestitate to hire Pat or recommend him to others if we needed an attorney or they did. He is a strong, very capable attorney that gets the job done!

Steve - thank you to you and Sue for your kind review. When you called me in the middle of the night that July about the tragic loss of your young son, I was struck by the awesome weight of the responsibility and honor of being called at a time like that. While I appreciate you saying here in this forum that we "won" that case against the United States, I know that we did not and for that I am very sorry. As a result of his death, yes, we did file a lawsuit against the United States and yes, we did receive money following a long litigation. Yet, it never felt like a win. Your son has not been returned to you; his remains still sit in an urn. I know from the look in your eyes that you are still in pain every day, and as a father myself, I know there was not and never could have been justice for what happened to your son. And, people who read this should also know the rest of the story too, Steve. When our first expert came back saying we didn't have much of a case and when there were other road blocks, there were times when I felt like I couldn't carry on. It was too risky, too expensive. too much work, too hard. You heard me say all that and yet you kept fighting. It was your tenacity and will that drove the case - without your fight there would have been no recovery. I appreciate you and all your friendship. Thank you Steve. Thank you also for referring me to another family who also lost a child, their beautiful young daughter, just as her life as a young lady was starting. I am really proud of the work I did for her family and, like you and your family, also consider them friends.
