Patterson Law Offices Pa

I don't normally write reviews but I want to give those looking for a criminal defense attorney to not hire Mr. Patterson. He comes across as caring and even promises a good outcome for the defendant but I was able to sit in on my son's closing argument. I have worked in law for 28 years and have NEVER seen such a poor, unprepared performance as I saw by Mr. Patterson! Later I found out that Mr. Patterson never even called witnesses vital to my son's case. The lies testified by the "victim" were never challenged by Mr. Patterson resulting in a guilty verdict whereby my son was sent to prison on a "rider" for three months. My son suffered from PTSD, was a Veteran and 60% disabled. The additional stress my son experienced as a result of Mr. Patterson's failure to do his job as a defense attorney eventually took a toll on my son and in 2016 he took his life. As a side note, my son's case was under review by a court appointed appeals attorney who informed me that Mr. Patterson made several vital mistakes at trial that probably could have resulted in a not guilty verdict for my son. Unfortunately by the time this was discovered my son had died. While there are no guarantees, you run just as much of a risk with a court appointed defense attorney as you do with Mr. Patterson. The difference is, you won't have to fork out $6,000 for a court appointed attorney like we did for Mr. Patterson's incompetent defense.

George is an AMAZING attorney!! He worked very hard on our situation with my son and he stood beside us 100% of the way! He did not overcharge for stupid items and he made it possible to hire an attorney and make sure the job is done right! George is not only a great attorney he is an amazing human being he went above and beyond to make our life so much easier!! Because of this amazing man my son is able to live his life again normally after being falsely accused him of something that could've put him away for 15 years. WE LOVE YOU GEORGE!!!

George Patterson is a very intelligent, and very caring person! He truly cares for his clients and their rights. I was facing 2 very serious crimes do to a certain individual lying about a certain set of events and Goerge was not only able to prove what the truth was, but did so in a very professional and intelligent way. I haven't been in a court room too many times, but I've never seen someone be able to capture the attention of everyone in the court room in such professional way like George Patterson was able to do. I would highly recommend George Patterson if you're seeking a very intelligent, professional, and caring attorney!

This attorney is extremely lazy. You pay a low price for low quality services. Known for taking deals and sending his clients to prison. Communication is poor If any at all. If your loved one is in desperate need of an attorney I advise you look elsewhere as you will get nowhere with this attorney, especially if you're looking at going to trial. As a business owner myself I have never seen such disorganized ineptitude from another professional. I am thoroughly disgusted.

When I initially called him he told me a price nothing more. He said he would see my wife at court the following day. He never showed up and I went and found him and he said he couldn't just go in there without filling as her attorney, which isn't what he said the day before. When I met up with him to go over the paper work he had changed what was being charged he told me $2000 for everything and then if we went to trial needed a retainer. Then when i came to sign the papers he had changed the amount from $2000 to 3000. It took 3 to 4 weeks for him to go visit my wife in jail and that's only because her mom called and yelled at him. If that wasn't enough every time he showed up to court he smelt like alcohol and the plea bargain he got for my wife the a public defender could have got her. He promised 3 months and she's going to be in a total of 9. He crooked and a drunk I never write reviews but I feel he doesn't put enough effort into a case and he doesn't care about his clients. If you need a good lawyer Charles Crafts and Chad Guldstrom are excellent. They care about their clients
