About

As the daughter of Cuban immigrants, I have seen how parents will sacrifice everything for their children, and as the daughter of divorce, I have seen how two wonderful, honest parents can lose sight of what is right to prove who is right.  Now, as a divorced parent (Yes, My law partner and I are ex-spouses!), I learned that, even under the best circumstaces with two well-intentioned adults, children of divorce still suffer.  As parents going through divorce, we can only try to minimize the emotional hurt divorce inflicts.  Children of divorced households can grow up without emotional baggage if parents never lose sight of what is right.I became a lawyer to help good people through difficult times.  Early in my career, I represented the Department of Children and Families, and I witnessed parents who loved their kids but were not emotionally capable of providing basic parenting because of mental illness or drug abuse.  I was disheartened by the lack of empathy and support shown to parents who lost their way.I decided to leave DCF to represent parents whose children have been taken by the Department.  These are the most difficult and heart-wrenching family law cases involving allegations of abuse and neglect.  Through my two decades in private practice, I have examined and cross examined countless psychological experts.  I have tasked the Department to prove its case and provide services to accelerate reunification.  My goal has always been to get to the truth and get help for clients who need it.  I have become so proficient in analyzing parenting issues that I have been routinely appointed by family law judges as an independent expert in complex custody cases.Unlike most all divorce lawyers, I have years of experience litigating complex foreclosure cases against the worlds largest banks.  My years of pouring through boxes and boxes of complicated Pooling and Servicing Agreements, organizational charts and life-of-loan transaction histories has sharpened the analytical skills I use in unravelling complicated, high-asset divorce cases.  No stone unturned.My clients have always appreciated the personal care I inject into every aspect of their case.  I truly care about the problems and challenges they and their children face in one of the most difficult and life changing events they will ever encounter.  I am there for them, and I will be there for you.

After years of dealing with a difficult cluster-b FH, at least 3 attorneys and 2 other consultations, Pattie Parker efficiently and purposefully managed my case with compassion, intelligence, and resolution. She and her entire office are as well respected in the courtroom as they are attentive in the office. Astute with advice, case law and trial processes- she confidently did what I didn’t think was possible, with honesty and strength. Above all else, she listened, she strategized and she succeeded.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had Pattie as lawyer. Not just for her professionalism and extensive knowledge in her field but also her compassion and understanding for what I was going through. It was not an easy case by all means. She always returned my calls and emails promptly. It’s not easy to place your child’s lifestyle in the hands of a stranger and letting the court decided how they spend their time with each parent. She was always honest regarding the possible outcomes and fought for what I thought was important for my family. I highly recommend her services. She has an amazing staff that was dedicated to my case as I was. Pattie and her staff change my trust experience with the law process. I know who I can trust and rely on. I am so thankful for them

Pattie handled my divorce and made a stressful process as easy as possible. She is pragmatic and realistic. Her knowledge of the system and the law was invaluable. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I chose Pattie Parker to represent me in my dissolution of marriage and child custody case because of her experience in family law. She proved to be outstanding. Both her and Alix kept me informed every step of the way. And after a lengthy divorce, I am very pleased with the outcome.

I knew I liked Patti when I first met her. She was very professional but compassionate. She guided me through my divorce and assisted me in making smart decisions. She was never to busy to discuss any concerns or questions. While she gave me advise, she also showed me why I should consider something. I hope I never have to go through another divorce, but If I do, I want Patti as my attorney!!

Mrs Parker is definitely an attorney i want fighting for me. Her experience and knowledge was tremendous in ensuring that the divorce settlement i received far exceeded my expectations. She quickly returns phone calls and texts ensuring your concerns are addressed completely. She is a fighter but is also very personable and professional. I strongly recommend her to ensure you get the best possible outcome available for your case.

Pattie Parker was my anchor during a very long and complicated divorce. She is always professional, yet approachable and compassionate. Pattie understands her job, understands her clients, and is highly competent. She also has a sense of humor and a quiet confidence that put me at ease. I can't think of anyone I would rather have my back during such a challenging time.

When I met Pattie, she instantly made me feel comfortable. She took time explaining the laws and what could and may have affected my case. At the end, I was happy with the outcome and terms she was able to negotiate.

Patricia handled my dissolution of marriage. Patricia kept me well informed every step of the way with emails, phone calls, and mailings. Whenever action took place on my case, Patricia and her staff were right there to explain it to me in layman's terms. With Patricia's guidance, I was able to come to a successful conclusion to my mediation session in my case and settle my divorce on good terms. Patricia went above and beyond what I expected and I feel that Patricia has my best interest at heart. Patricia gave me a great referral in another matter that I am equally pleased with and grateful for. I trust Patricia's judgement and legal expertise and, if the need arises, I will not hesitate to call on her for help. I wish I had met her years ago and resolved things then. I absolutely recommend Patricia Parker services in any Family Law matter you may be facing.

Pattie Parker took over my case after her and her partner split. After a few large payments and much time wasted she finished my case. I can't say that I was happy with the way it ended up but I'm glad that it is over.
