Patrick worked hard to help and get me what I fairly deserved out of my Divorce. He is extremely honest and intelligent, knows the law and is a respectful listener. During a Divorce when it seems like your world is spinning out of control, I was so lucky to have Patrick by my side. He is a strong advocate for children going through this very difficult time. He did his job very well and was always calm, cool and collected. He is the best for a reason. Thank you Mr. McCroskey for getting me to the other side of Divorce.

I was engaged in a very difficult divorce process and if it had not been for Patrick McrCroskey I might have lost my determination to resolve it in the spirit of Grace. While I could not control how my former spouse approached the process ( in anger and denial of his own responsibility) I knew and Mr. McCroskey reminded me, I was responsible for how I approached it. Together, we stood firm when push came to shove and finally something shifted and an amicable agreement was reached in the best interests of the entire family. Mr. McCroskey listened to my desires and helped me understand my needs in the process. He is truly a "Counselor" at Law. I am forever thankful.

When fighting for parental rights, it is important to have an attorney who you can trust will work in your best interest and not quit during the case. I was a client of Mr. Mccroskey, and I was unhappy with the attitudes and lack of communication I was receiving from Patrick and his team. In my opinion, Patrick's attitude and quitting representation on me after being fully paid at the time, not once, but on two separate occasions after a large commitment of time and money, initially hurtful to my custody case, but then I found a caring attorney who was much more helpful. The one tickler I believe was that Patrick's quitting the second time was a blessing in disguise because I found a good attorney after that who was caring, helpful, did not quit, and helped me to obtain close to the result I was seeking pre-suit.
