About
I have flexible hours- day, evening and weekend appointments can be scheduled. I believe my clients appreciate the relaxed feel of my office and my style. Many clients comment that once they've been with me for a consultation, they feel a weight has been lifted from their shoulders.
I like the "partnership" I share with my clients. You are the expert about your life and/or your children's lives- your needs, expectations, and goals. I am here to be the legal expert to translate those needs, expectations, and goals into practical solutions to difficult interpersonal issues like divorce, child custody, and support.

Patricia was absolutely perfect with my case. She was completely empathetic and professional . She helped me to strategize and gave me “the reality of the situation” when necessary. We didn’t even need to see the judge…she was able to speak to the other attorney and come to an agreement out of court . I recommend without reservation ✨

Hands down, Patricia is awesome! From the very start she was able to calm my fears surrounding my custody battle. Patricia has been a pleasure to work with as she is attentive, patient, empathetic, and kind. She was prompt in responding , efficient in her craft and kept the lines of communication open and clear. Not only did we win the case but we actually got more than we were asking for. So that’s a WIN, WIN!!!

Hired on Thumbtack
I was going through a nasty custody battle with my ex husband over my son. I contacted different lawyers in the area and found them to be only about wanting money and not hearing my story. I found Pat on Thumbtack on a Friday evening and spoke about my situation. She was busy the following week, not only did she make time for me that following Monday but she did it in her private home. When we meet it was after business after and she talked to me for over two hours in her home for FREE. She is very reasonable and is not trying to get rich off her clients. She listened to everything I had to say and told me the best route to take. She even contacted some of her colleagues that specializes in certain things pertaining to my case. I had my day in court and Pat got me everything I wanted and more. She is shark in that court room!!..Kudos to Pat!!. I thank her and my son and daughter thanks her too!!...Job well done.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I work on either an hourly rate or flat fee basis. I believe that client's should be involved in discussing and determining fees. I do work with people to arrange for payment plans.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with a client for a 60 minute no cost consult so that we can spend enough time together both to review the case, and decide whether we feel comfortable together. It's always best if you are not only confident with my skills and knowledge, but feel that we will make a good working team.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Juris Doctor degree (Law), and a Master's Degree in Speech Communication, which has sharpened my ability to present your case with clarity, strength and a persuasiveness necessary to enable a Judge or Master to truly "get" what your position is.
