Pat is a superstar lawyer!
Pat is a superstar lawyer! I highly recommend Pat to anyone and everyone needing legal assistance. I contacted Pat after losing confidence in my previous lawyer in a matter. It was a case in which I was being falsely accused of a serious crime. My previous lawyer kept pushing me to settle despite me not doing what I was accused of. Without hesitation, Pat took on my case and not only did we get the case dropped, I did not have to settle and pay a penny. Not only is Pat an amazing lawyer in the technical sense, but he cares about his clients personally, and his giving his clients confidence and peace of mind goes a long way. Thanks Pat!

My criminal case was dismissed
I hired Pat during one of the darkest times of my life. I was being investigated for a life-altering criminal charge and also had a threat of a civil lawsuit. Pat walked me through the entire process. He was there for me as an attorney as well as an advisor. He put me at ease every time we spoke. In the end, my criminal case was dismissed, and he was able to settle my civil damages without me having to hire another lawyer. I cannot recommend him and his staff enough.

Can I represent myself in court?
While you have the right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. Criminal defense is complex and having a skilled attorney increases your chances of a favorable outcome. An experienced defense attorney understands the legal system, can negotiate on your behalf, and will work to protect your rights.
What are my rights if I am arrested?
If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is important to clearly state your desire for legal counsel and to refrain from answering questions without an attorney present. These rights are designed to protect you during legal proceedings.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any relevant documents such as police reports, court notices, bail papers, and correspondence related to your case. It's also helpful to write down your recollection of events and any questions you have. This information aids us in understanding your case and designing a defense plan.
