Excellent Attorney

My company hired Pat on a difficult case. A person had caused significant injury to our business. We were not alone. This person had also injured other businesses and people around Spokane and in other states. Several attorneys were trying to get money out of this guy but he was eluding them. Pat... earnestly pursued him and ultimately got a 1.7 million dollar judgment against him. He helped us collect too. Pat was professional, honest and pragmatic. He worked hard for us. I have continued to use Pat to help on other legal matters and have referred many close friends to him who have all been satisfied.

Keith - Thank you for your kind endorsement. Maybe not for you, but I have many good memories from that case - like the time I was in Pullman on another case and by luck pulled into the gas station and saw the defendant trying to hide his motorcycle at a warehouse - one of the things we were going after to collect on that big judgment. I followed him to a restaurant after he unloaded the motorcycle and walked up to him and told him nice try - but we have eyes everywhere! The look on his face as he tried to figure out how in the world we caught him was precious! And then the time in court when we had proof positive that came to light only in the 12th hour before our court date that he was lying and the fun we had going into court knowing we had him! Best memories though were getting to work together on a difficult case that challenged me professionally and building our friendship. Thank you for the kind words and all you do to support me!

I was very fortunate to have hired Attorney Patrick Fannin to handle my unfortunate dispute that eventually turned into a lawsuit. Mr Fannin Tried relentlessly to negotiate a reasonable solution between my company and the defendant. Mr Fannin was great at keeping me informed of all new developments... and was available to take my calls and/or return them promptly. The case eventually went to court and Mr Fannin was incredibly effective in his examinations and details in this case. After Mr Fannin was finished presenting my case to the judge the defendant's attorney had no chance and the judge ruled in my favor! Through this process I learned that attorneys like Mr Fannin can exceed expectations and abilities in their work ethics. If I ever need an attorney again you bet that I will be giving Fannin litigation a call! Sincerely, Owner of Bonham Investments

Nothing but great Service!

Accusations of racism should, for the most part, be taken seriously. However, far too often the race card is pulled by folks who either shed responsibility for their own actions or subscribe to the thought of always being a victim. I do not know the person who posted the racism post about Pat and t...he only judgment I can make is based on my experience. I am an African American man, and Pat represented me in a year long case and treated my family and me great. Dawn tolerated my numeroius emails and phone calls (usuahly 3 or 4 a day). She showed tremendouse patience and alwas showed compassion as I navigated the process. The things described in the previous post is FAR from the experience I had with Pat and Dawn. I have referred several people, and I will always use him in the future. Unfortunatly, the internet allows anyone to post anything about anybody- without the burden of providing proof of his or her accusations. Patt Fannin and Dawn White handled my case perfectly and provided nothing but great service to my family and this African American man- I love the way I was treated. THANK YOU PAT AND DAWN!

Review

Mr. Patrick Fannin handled my husband's Lawsuit. The case took 4 years to settle, through this Mr. Fannin was very helpful to our family, always having our best interest. Mr. Fannin kept us very informed of what was happening. He always told us exactly what was going to happen and how we should proce...ed ahead. We were very happy with Mr. Fannin and would highly recommend to anyone who would need a lawyer. We now consider Mr. Fannin to be a good family friend.

Absolutely Excellent

You cannot afford to cut corners when it comes to choosing an attorney. When you are in a serious situation, you need someone you can count on, someone you can trust. The bottom line is you can't just trust any lawyer. Unfortunately, I have had to count on Pat more than once and each time he has deli...vered a stellar verdict. You can't go wrong!
