I hired Maria to represent me in a case that was the result of a car accident where I suffered medical injuries. The case went to court before a judge. Maria did an excellent and through job of representing the facts of my case to the judge. She was extremely well prepared, competent and organized. She spent many hours collecting all of the background information and detailed medical records. All of the materials were put together and analyzed to support my case. I was able to receive a fair judgement to pay my medical bills and reimbursement for the time I needed to take off from work for treatment. Her years of experience showed through in the courtroom with her poise and ability to work with the judge resulting in a fair trial. I would highly recommend her if you need a very skilled attorney to represent you.
Maria Patterson far surpassed my expectations. She was outstanding in & outside the court room. She was very professional approaching my case. Very vigilant with the case brought upon as well as thoroughly addressing the disclaimers that were brought by the opposing party. Very passionate inside the court room and took the extra mile to talk to many witnesses as possible and to posses all accurate information to assure a won case. Would highly recommend her for your immediate problems residing with your claims.
Mrs. Petterson is an outstanding attorney. From the start, she seemed genuinely interested in my case. She is very patient and a great listener! There were times I felt like I was rambling on about my case. She never rushed me and made me feel like my case was as important as any case she ever had. She listened and was able to verbally paraphrase my thoughts. I also appreciated the prompt manner in which she responded to my emails and phone calls. Mrs. Petterson is very competent as she understood the pros and cons of my case from a legal perspective. Overall, she's a good person and genuinely cares about her clients. It is without reservation that I would recommend Mrs. Petterson to anyone looking for a 5 star attorney! Regards, William. D
So I actually have to say she is one of nicest attorneys I have met and worked with. I had a pleasure working with her for 11 months and shes been fantastic through the entire time. The hardest part is leaving after you developed a great relationship with the best attorney. She will never be forgotten and whomever gets the opportunity to work with her you will have a wonderful experience as well as I have.
Made one of the best decisions in my life by hiring Maria! She is a very successful and professional attorney. Definitely someone you'll want on your side no matter how small or big a case. She was very thorough, thoughtful and deliberate when it came to taking care of my legal problems. Case resolved very quickly. Best outcome...the record was even expunged right a way. I would highly recommend her and her team no matter the issue. Thanks again Maria!
Maria handled my personal injury case. She spent an extensive period of time to learn about my case at the beginning. I immediately saw that she was caring and compassionate and so personable. In hindsight, I now realize that all of the information that she gathered was used to organize my case in a way so that the insurance company had no choice but to be sympathetic to my case. The opening offer was more than I anticipated! Maria was able to talk about hundreds of cases that she had tried in order to make the insurance company understand the depth of my suffering and injuries. I was delighted with the settlement outcome!!
Maria is a great lawyer. This was my first time needing a lawyer to defend me in a personal injury law suit. I was in 2 car accidents and both were 10 months apart. This wasn't the easiest case when your going through recovery from one car accident and then get struck as a pedestrian in the 2nd car accident. There was a lot that I wasn't knowledgeable about personal injury law suit, but Maria managed both from the beginning to the end. Her level of expertise, professionalism, and availability made my case and recovery stress free. Maria assisted me with finding the best cervical spine surgeon Dr.Bands. Maria made sure all medical bills were paid in full and also reached a settlement over $120,000 out of court. She made my journey very smooth through the process and her knowledge in law was very helpful. I greatly appreciate time and patient. Thank you Maria.
Maria, accepted my case (assault and burglary) and walked me through the process. We had a fairly significant amount of evidence against the other party, and she was able to use that as leverage to negotiate with the other side. She was very relaxed and assisted me with having the court records expunged after the not-guilty verdict. She is very personable and I'm grateful that she was able to assist with a verdict in my favor.
I recently hired Maria Patterson regarding an usual legal matter related to my former wife and I was most pleased with the result, the legal work and the sound counsel provided by Attorney Maria Patterson. Although I was especially concerned because I live out of state, nevertheless, Maria kept me calm and reassured me throughout the matter based on the facts and the law. Maria was forthright, responsive and very knowledgeable both in terms of the law and in terms of life. I highly recommend Maria Patterson as an attorney for her professionalism, effectiveness, integrity and over-all exceptional quality as a person.
Maria Peterson is thorough, conscientious,supportive, resourceful and knowledgeable. Her professionalism and understanding was beyond what I could ever hope for. She has helped me solved a personal injury claim in a timely efficient manner. I would not hesitate to recommend this outstanding attorney to anyone who needs legal advices and assistance.
