Pat was always prepared, responsive and thorough. She laid out the process for me and was accurate in her assessment of my matter. Although there were significant assets and difficult valuation issues, Pat worked efficiently and resolved the issues. I am very pleased and highly recommend her and her firm.

Patricia just finished up my matter last week. My wife and I chose a collaborative framework and utilized a divorce coach. There were difficult parenting and financial issues to resolve, but we worked the matter out. Patricia guided me through the process , advocated for me and protected my interest and relationship with my spouse so we could move forward. I am very satisfied and recommend her firm to you without hesitation.

Pat Kitson is a wonderful advocate and a great attorney. She is honest, effective and guided me through the process. Unfortunately, my spouse was not realistic and we ultimately had to seek court intervention. Although Pat tried to avoid the expense, she was right on with the analysis of my matter. She is a skilled negotiator and a great attorney. I am very pleased I choose her as my attorney. I recommend her and her firm to you.

I recently resolved a very emotional and high net worth matter. I am very pleased that I selected Pat to represent me. She gave me good advice and helped me get on with my life. The attorneys in her firm are responsive and care about their clients. I highly recommend Pat and her firm.

Pat developed a "win/win" settlement that allowed my ex and myself to get on with our lives. Her advice and her negotiating skills are superb. I cannot imagine a more effective advocate, nor one easier to work with. She is the best. I am a lawyer myself, and was referred to Pat by another lawyer. I previously was represented by a matrimonial attorney in New York City who has a very good reputation. Pat was far more effective. The best decision I made have Pat be my advocate.

I am finishing up my matter. It is a complex financial situation and my spouse was difficult and demanding with unrealistic expectations. Pat was great! She gave me appropriate advice. I am very pleased. I recommend her and the firm. They care and are responsive.

I hired Pat after I had been represented by an attorney in NYC. I am so pleased I made the move. Pat evaluated my situation, put the matter on track and got the matter resolved. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my matter. I highly recommend this attorney to you. She will tell you the truth and help you get your life back. She has excellent support and is very responsive.

I recently resolved a high net worth collaborative divorce matter with Patricia. She assisted in every aspect of the negotiations, is extremely creative and ultimately recommended a solution to the single issue preventing us from resolving the matter. Had we not resolved the issues we would have spent tens of thousands of dollars in litigation. Patricia got the job done without compromising my position. I highly recommend her and the team. They are the best around!
