Patrice Denman handled my complicated divorce and child support case. A contested divorce can be very complicated and confusing when both sides disagree on multiple levels and children are involved. Patrice Denman wisely guided me through the legal divorce process step by step and provided a well-executed plan with clarity and direction. Throughout the case and afterwards, she kept me abreast of case activities and status. Her legal, communication and problem solving skills gave me confidence that I was well represented and she was the right attorney for my case. In court, Patrice Denman’s sharp, strong legal arguments were backed with well supported facts. Her passion to pursue a just and equitable resolution laid the foundation for well-defined objectives that were reasonable and unwavering. She productively used information and time to manage volumes of legal and case related documents. She accurately calculated and clearly explained the child support. The separation agreement Patrice Denman wrote for me clearly defined many details regarding children’s activities and visitation that will transcend time. Her compassion and attentiveness to details, my children and my needs was encouraging and supportive and more than I expected. She understands family life and exercised flexibility in scheduling to accommodate my work and children’s schedules. I saw that Patrice Denman is well respected in the Lake County court system and amongst her legal peers. Based on my recommendation, my friends have engaged her for legal services and were extremely pleased her with legal services. Patrice Denman is a smart, supportive and fully-engaged attorney that uses time, information and money wisely. She will continue to be my attorney.
