What Our Clients Say
“He went above and beyond spending countless hours researching medical records and contacting Medicare about incorrect billing that did not pertain to the work injury. He also reached out on a personal level on numerous occasions with genuine concern as to how myself and my daughter were doing during this ordeal as it had affected us emotionally and financially. Even as the case dragged on Patrick never failed to pass on to us a positive and reassuring attitude that all would end in our favor. Had it not been for Patrick’s hard work, dedication, and personable reassuring attitude I would have given up early on shortly after the case had begun. I am proud to say that we became more than an attorney and his client, we became friends. The case recently ended in my favor.” — Dale
