You will not receive the assistance or value you pay for, and they will overcharge you while underperforming and being nearly impossible to reach. Do not give your money to this "law firm". Go anywhere else and receive proper assistance with real respected attorneys that charge what they say they will and show up on time with all the facts and ready to actually work for their client. KEEP AWAY from these liars. Btw, I'm happy with the results presented by the court, but deeply unhappy with the awful service and unprofessional etiquette, overcharging on the back end, and blatant disrespect along with poor quality of work. Don't give money to these people. Let them go out of business and hopefully lose their licenses. Edit: I AM/WAS ABSOLUTELY A CLIENT OF YOUR LAW FIRM AND CAN EASILY CONFIRM. I WENT TO COURT WITH ROBERT NNEWMAN JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO AND SOMEONE FROM YOUR LAW FIRM INCIDENTALLY CONTACTED MY MOTHER JUST NOW ABOUT SEEING WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THE HIDDEN CHARGES SHORTLY AFTER I POSTED MY REVIEW HERE. I CAN AND WILL PUBLICLY GO INTO DETAIL IF NECESSARY. YOUR DENIAL WITHOUT DOING YOUR PROPER DUE DILIGENCE LENDS MORE CREDENCE TO MY ORIGINAL POST. THANKS!

Christine was referred to our family by my nephew who also works for the Patterson Law Firm. Due to the unfortunate circumstance of a family member passing away, my brother's and I were about to receive inheritance money. We required advisement on how best to secure the funds for one of our brothers who cannot make financial decisions for himself. Christine "walked me" through all options and what each option entailed for the long term. Once we decided on the best direction to proceed, Christine provided the proper documentation that was needed to be sent to the estate lawyers. The directions of what we needed to do were very straight forward and easy to accomplish. This situation that at first seemed so stressful and confusing ended up being uncomplicated and quite easy to accomplish because of Christine's expertise and knowledge of estate law. She was on time, so friendly and very professional. She did not rush me when I asked endless questions, which helped to ease my mind so much! Christine followed up through email, several times after our meeting to ensure we understood and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Christine P. Snapp, JD, LLM and Patterson Law Firm.

After setting up an…read moreinitial call, she requested a digitized version of the trust so she could review it ahead of our Zoom meeting scheduled for a few days later. I scanned and emailed the documents as requested the next day.  Leading up to our confirmed appointment, she reached out to tell me she had gone over the trust and included a few questions, to which I replied with answers and a few follow-up questions of my own. I wanted clarification so I wouldn't go into the Zoom call unprepared, but she never replied in the days that followed.  By the day of the appointment, I wasn't even sure the meeting would still take place due to her lack of communication in answering my last email. Minutes before the scheduled time, I received a text from her saying she was running late and asking to push the call back. Given the complete lack of communication and preparation during the prior week, I decided to postpone the call.  The next day, Ella emailed me title information for the property along with fee quotes. I replied directly, acknowledging her initiative in pulling title but expressing clear disappointment regarding the lack of communication prior to our scheduled appointment. I offered to connect later that week to discuss expectations and next steps. Ella never replied. After two full days of silence, I officially cut ties and instructed her to disregard my matter.  Handling an estate requires basic reliability, punctuality, and responsiveness. Because none of those standards were met, my search continues.
