CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I hired Patrick to resolve my divorce case for custody, child support, alimony and ancillary matters. His tenacious approach, attention to detail and strategic planning were paramount in my case which resulted in a highly successful outcome. When the pressure is on, Patrick always conducts himself in a professional manner with a calm, cool approach and remains fact based not to allow hearsay to derail the mission. The results speak for themselves. If you’re going through a divorce and need the best, Patrick is the answer!
After interviewing several attorneys to handle my divorce, Lance was the clear choice in assuring my needs and interests would be secured. All throughout the process, Lance was calm, confident, thorough and understanding in helping navigate through this difficult time. When so much is on the line, having a solid rock to ground you is essential. Lance was that rock and instilled the required confidence and care in preserving sanity until the process was complete. In the end, this was my divorce and Lance earned my trust and was the asset needed to close that chapter in my life.
Lance provided me with legal advice and waived the fee based on my situation. Lance genuinely cares, he’s still in the process of helping us, I am grateful there are still people willing to care enough to assist people in need, thanks Lance.
Lance is smart, savvy and goes the extra mile for his client. He is professional, well spoken, and very intelligent. Super efficient, he has patience and for the attorneys that’s rare. He explains what the process is no matter what process you’re involved in. His expertise in Family law is outstanding! He can handle anything! He’s truly the Best! I will be forever grateful the way he handled my divorce process that took 5 years!
I was at my wits end. Tired and frustrated. I hired Caroline to defend my teenager and his underage drinking charge. Caroline not only presented the case in a clear concise professional manner, she went above and beyond to comfort me and assure me that it will be ok. Caroline has the ability to connect with her clients, even a teenager. I believe he listened to her advice even more then mine. I pray I will not have to use Caroline’s expertise again but I will certainly recommend her and praise her wonderful dedication to her profession. Moreover her compassion, understanding ,and encouragement. Eternally grateful, JM&JB
