Patrick took care of everything for me.

After my car accident, I found myself with no car, $2,600 in debt due to negative equity in the car, and a back injury that just wouldn't go away. I tried to deal with the insurance company thinking they would give me a square deal. That simply wasn't the case. I turned to Patrick and his firm for he...lp. Patrick not only took care of "all" the headaches but in the end was able to settle for more than what I was prepared to accept as a settlement. I thank Patrick for all he has done for me. Before hiring this firm, I felt bullied and scared which can be so overwhelming. All those feelings subsided after talking with Patrick. He said he would take care of things...and he did.

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.
