Patrice was an excellent lawyer that did not back down from a high profile case that other lawyers were scared to take. She was relentless in dealing with every detail of the case and was victorious in the end. I highly recommend her as a lawyer and would use her again if need be.

I was charged with Simple Assault. When we went to trial Ms. Sulton absolutely demolished the prosecutor. She is confident when she speaks, has everything planned out, and is well prepared. When all the witnesses had been called and it was time for their closing remarks the prosecutor went first. I was a little nervous when he finished, up until it was Ms. Sultons turn. She left no doubt in anyone's mind that I was indeed innocent, and poked holes in the prosecutor and witnesses statements with ease. Highly recommend Ms. Sulton.

In my professional experience with Ms. Sulton, she has consistently shown herself to be a knowledgeable, competent, fair, and ethical legal professional. She is a skillful attorney, with a knack for building strong working relationships with her clients. I have also found that when urgent matters arise, Ms. Sulton is available and responds in a prompt and thoughtful manner. Ms. Sulton approaches cases in a systematic and thorough fashion, without losing sight of the client as an individual. She is a skilled and confident lawyer, who is able to expertly advise her clients, and help them successfully resolve a range of legal matters. I would highly recommend her services and would seek her out in the future.

Patrice was recommended to me by a friend, and I sought her services to address concerns regarding a change in the terms of my contract as an independent contractor. Patrice reviewed the contracts thoroughly and made edits, comments, and other modifications. She was also very thorough in explaining the modifications she made and educating me about general things to look for in reading contracts. She was extremely supportive and provided much reassurance to me along the way as I negotiated the revisions of the contract with my employer. I found her to be warm, empathic, and friendly, and she clearly demonstrated strong knowledge, skill, and competence. She provided sound advice and listened to and understood my concerns. She was very respectful of my wishes and provided gentle reassurance and encouragement for me to be more firm or assertive when needed. I have much trust in her, and although I did not have to go to court, I took great comfort in knowing that I would be well represented by her in court if the need arose. I would definitely seek services from Patrice again in the future if needed, and I would (and have already) recommend her to others wholeheartedly.
