Posted by Pete | April 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Business

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.

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!

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
