I'm not sure where all the positive reviews came from...maybe paid employees of the firm, or his…read morefamily. We paid for the original consultation for my son and were told "no problem". We paid several thousand dollars to retain his services. After a year, he informed us that the case was more complicated than he anticipated and demanded several more thousand dollars to cover the time envolved in reading all the pages of evidence and handle the preliminary hearing. Just prior to the hearing, he informed us there was a tough judge, and if the case was lost, the incarceration time could be high and my son should take the plea deal and plead guilty. 12000 dollars down the drain and 2 years in prison. He did nothing! and we could not afford another lawyer. No preliminary hearing and no retainer money remaining. Basically said it was a flat fee to resolve the case. Avoid at all costs. He was also very rude to his client, and seemed unprofessional in court. Should have a minus rating.

Service requested was a prenuptial review of an agreement drafted by another lawyer close to home…read more The original agreement was drafted and fully executed with all communications for $1500 by another lawyer. The agreement had very minor adjustments needed as we have no children, and I simply needed it reviewed by independent council. While the document did change from a prenuptial agreement to a marriage The lawyer at Patterson law was professional, and did a good job explaining each step of the process. However, they charged over $3300 to review the same document that other lawyers have stated should have cost between 500-1500$ based on the simplicity of reviewing a basic agreement. I would caution against using Patterson law if you're looking for value, as you can likely find equally competent and professional lawyers for about half of the price else where. Summary: Most importantly, look else where for better value from a lawyer.

Do not hire Patterson Law. A few years ago, my aunt died. The executor hired Patterson law to…read morehandle the legal details. Unfortunately, there was a lot of drama, animosity and distrust amongst our family, including towards the executor. I won't get into the details of that. But, look: I'm sure we're not the first and won't be the last family to have disputes over an estate. Patterson law made several sloppy mistakes in names and dates and, most importantly, insisted that beneficiaries sign a form saying that we received all expected payouts from the estate, before we actually received anything. I wrote to the lawyer. He never responded. His paralegal responded that this is "standard practice". I am sure you can understand that, in a situation where there is already a lot of tension and distrust, this added a lot of fuel to the fire! Note that as executor of an estate, you can hire any lawyers you want. You don't have to stick with the lawyers who helped write the will.

After being referred to this firm by our lawyer, there was a degree of confidence…read more The lawyer, Mr. Moir was happy to take a payment of five hundred dollars for a consultation and creating a letter regarding a property issue. He assured us that there was a solid case and required five thousand dollars to continue with the issue. The issue was not handled by Mr. More, It was passed to an assistant who seemed to know little to nothing about real estate law, The firm decided not to take on the case, since there was nothing that they could do and returned a portion of the money. They even charged for sending a courier with a cheque. I should have walked away when Mr. More said that he was more comfortable suing insurance companies for millions of dollars. I have dealt with many lawyers over the years in the area of property law. I can not profess my disgust for the lawyer and the firm. Will not being doing any further business with them and will seek a firm with a more competent staff and one that doesn't make promises that they can't keep.

Added bonus there is free 2 hour parking in front of the building and there are usually free spots available.
