Contractor dispute

We were involved in a construction contract dispute involving an unlicensed, underqualified, unresponsive and untrustworthy contractor who, among other things, filed a frivalous lien on our project. Fortunately for us, we retained Ms. Foster to handle this situation. She immediately communicated w...ith the contractor's attorney and within weeks the lien was removed and the matter resolved in our favor. Ms. Foster was knowedgeable, aggressive, responsive and properly focused on our case. We would highly recommend her for her great work and results and would not hesitate to use her again if the need arises.

Astute & Personable Business Advisor

Pat’s large corporation background and post-graduate business education makes her an astute counselor for complex business transactions. She understands the 'why' as well as the 'how' of getting things done. She is also tireless in her attention to details and engagement follow-up. I would recommend ...her without reservation for corporate, contract, business and real estate matters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
