He was understanding and totally on my side!

I was in a auto accident in late December. It was a very confusing and stressful time. I met Mr. Fannin for the first time while i was in a hospital bed. My wife had contacted him for advice. I cant tell you how much hassle was lifted off of our shoulders. Mr. Fannin went right to work and gave ...us great legal council. he saved me over 70K on medical expenses and protected me from what i would call "Traps from the insurance company" Mr. Fannin took me and my wife through each step, explaining what he was doing and why, he always gave us the power of making the final decision. In our family's difficult time, Mr. Fannin was there all the fay to the finish. I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for an ethical attorney!

John - thank you for taking the time to endorse me. I know that your business of cremating pets following their tragic and sometimes untimely death at All Pets Cremation also requires extreme compassion and service at a very sad time in peoples' lives - so that you have chosen to reward me with praise sure does make me proud. The other thing that is special about your endorsement is that years earlier we worked together on that awful case where a contractor took your money and didn't do the job right. Although personal injury is my passion, we marched forward and got a $20,000 judgment against that guy in court. In any event, you honored me again, years later, by turning to me with a call from your wife from the hospital at Christmas time letting me know that you were in surgery for a broken leg and in need of legal help. In about 20 years of this business, I have had the honor to be summoned to hospital rooms on countless occasions for very injured people. I always say the same prayer I did that Christmas as I went to see you, "Please protect and fully heal John, and please grant me the strength and wisdom to help him and his family." Thank you John for the trust you put in me at such critical times in your life. Thank you also for your recent referral of the young man who broke his neck in a car accident. Your referral of one of your family friends is the highest compliment you could ever give. I sure do appreciate you.

Exceptional Attorney and Tireless Advocate

Pat Fannin has exceptionally represented both my family and business in legal matters for over a decade. For my family, Pat was a tireless advocate throughout a complicated personal injury case. He was always upfront, honest and supportive. At all times, he knew the complete details about our c...ase and was working towards a resolution. During mediation, it was clear how well respected he was by all attorneys involved. Pat was prepared and extremely knowledgable -- he worked every angle to get the best settlement. For our business, he has become our most trusted counsel and an extension of our team -- helping us navigate through challenges, finding creative solutions that have allowed us to grow and prosper. In all scenarios, he exemplifies character, commitment, creativity and most of all compassion. Pat has my deepest respect and gratitude.

Ellie - I want to thank you here in this public forum for your kind endorsement. Up at Beacon Hill Events you have hosted thousands of weddings, corporate events, parties and other events. I know that you are, in part, delivering a product, e.g., your amazing food and facility, but more importantly, you deliver exceptional customer service at one of the most important times in a person's life. Our businesses are similar in that regard and I have to say that watching you do it so well for so many years is such a great lesson to me - focus on delivering great service, and amazing success, like the success you have experienced, is bound to follow! Thank you for your endorsement and that lesson! I wish you continued growth and success. Oh, by the way, that you and your family have given me the opportunity to represent you, your father, your mother and your youngest sister, all regarding separate car accidents, some in Washington and one in Michigan, involving everything from a broken back to a rotator cuff tear, is two things: 1) proof that your family might consider staying out of cars when possible!!!; and 2) an honor and blessing to me. Thank you!

Above and Beyond

I contacted Pat in a panic a few years back regarding an issue I had with the board of pharmacy. I can't say enough about how much he did not only to investigate every angle to help me but also the fact that HE TRULY CARED not only about the outcome of the case but about me personally. Nearly two y...ears after my case was resolved (successfully I might add as the potential was almost $35,000 in fines and I received a mere $200 fine), I had to contact Pat yet again for the same issue that another board of pharmacy decided to fine me for as well. In pharmacy, state licensure boards have the ability to reciprocate fines and other punishments based on rulings from boards in other states. I contacted Pat and he addressed the issue immediately. He once again did everything in his power to help me. I can't say enough how much he as put my mind at ease of the years and how I truly, truly appreciate all he has done for me. I have every confidence he would do the same for any of his other clients. This man is the reason why attorney's have a GREAT reputation. I would recommend him to anyone seeking the types of law services he provides. He's truly a genuine, caring person as well as a damn good attorney. Thanks Pat!

Thank you Dr. Kellie - I sure appreciate you and your kind words. I know customer service is a big part of your mother's business and your work as a pharmacist so your words sure do mean a great deal to me. I want anyone who reads this to know though that despite a pretty good outcome - I still believe you didn't even deserve that $200 fine! In any event, I agree, together we made a good team! Keep doing what you do - it is inspiring - to see you using all those years of intense study and experience to help deliver medicine to the sick here in our community.

Dallas and to your wife Tanya, thank you so much for your endorsement. You have been so kind to refer many friends and family to me - what a compliment and honor. Thank you.

Posted by Kathrine | April 08, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Went above and beyond what an attorney would do!

Pat was incredibly helpful, very methodical and detailed in how he communicates. It made it easy to understand the info we needed. No big words and attorney lingo only they understand. He gave great analogies and weighted the risks with rewards. We ended up deciding it was not in our interest to move... forward with an attorney, against Pat's advice, after we actually hired him. I wish we had in hind sight. In the end, he still helped us with the issues that arose when he didn't have to. He showed complete concern and integrity even when he had nothing to gain and it was a minor issue to many. (medical bills that were already paid but they were coming back for more money) To the extent of looking up more case laws and calling us back to go over that info. I would hire him if you are wanting a smart, fair and compassionate attorney. He has proven to me that he is concerned with people and not the money no matter who you are or how big or small the issue(s). That is what made him stand out more than anything. He also makes you feel like you are his only client. Super relaxed, confident and friendly. His staff were very kind too. Professionalism at it's best!
