Great representation!

Overall Pat did a wonderful job representing me in my divorce. Pat knows the law very well and she knows the attorneys and judges stances and approaches. She will help you not get caught in the emotional chaos and focus on the primary issues. For those reviewers saying she missed this or she misse...d that, your attorney is not God and does not have the ability to devine everything you need to address, that is on you to help ensure you look at everything. Pat does a great job at helping uncover those stones and has your back.

Great Knowledge, Great to work with!

Patti was wonderful. She was able to stop my husbands ex in her tracks when she wanted to change the parenting plan and give us less time with the child. She was fair in costs and quick and not fake. You knew what you got with her. Luckily the custody battle we did not go there, that is very expensiv...e and not worth the fight.

DO NOT HIRE UNPROFESSIONAL

Patricia Chvatal know how to set you up after being a attorney for 41 years. She will tell you everything you want to hear, just to get a contract from you.Ms. Chvatal will walk out of meeting with you, to go help another client, even the settlement conference. Her staff will make error on your bill ...and Ms Chvatal will try to take every $ you have for all her trip, she take while she is working on your case. When you have a meeting with Ms. Chvatal will talk about everything like to join her church, your dog ,your childhood,and wanting you to vote for attorney that she want to be the next Judge .I guess she think that will help her in court. Then,when you get her bill all that time you spent with her is on your bill. Ms. Chvatal did not check to see how much money my x wife had in her retirement.I found out after I fired Ms. Chavatal after the divorce was over and hire another attorney to fix the error she made on the final divorce and he found that my x- wife had pulled $85,555 out of community property retirement account and did not disclose that to the courts before the divorce was over. There was a court order that all large amount of money taken out of account was to be disclosed. I hire different attorney and save my part of my share of her retirement account, He even had to track her down in Florida, When she went missing. The mistake that Ms Chvatal made ,it took a year and 1/2 after my divorce to get my money from my x-wife retirement account and more attorney bill, the total cost for both attorney this was over $35,000.

I couldn't have had a better lawyer

Patrica was a god send with my first child 16 years ago. Because of her i have my son. 11 years latter she fought for me again. Because of that i have my daughter as well. Patrica was professional, kind, and willing to bend over backwards for me. I thank her every day night and Christmas for what s...he has done for me. I highly recommend her if your a straight up honest and loving parent. That only wants the best for your child. If your willing to do whatever it takes to keep your child in a loving home. I owe her a thank you that is long overdue and Look no further. She is the one you want. Thank you Patricia for everything Corinna Myers

Unprofessional

Doesn't have an office staff to take calls. Doesn't keep appointments. Walks out of Mediation appointments. Will not sign nor respond to paperwork - Stalls. Obnoxious. Extremly Angry and Rude. Evil demranor. Steals your hard earned money. I do not know why the Mediators or Judges and Commissioners ...put up with her bahavior in Court.
