About
After a number of years in this profession -- specifically, family law and all it entails -- I remain convinced that the best results are often obtained when the two people dissolving their union sit down and resolve their issues outside of court. This means less stress to the parties and their children, less money spent on attorneys, and less animosity between the parties. The challenge is sometimes to determine whether a client's case is appropriate for a mediated settlement. If your spouse was argumentative, unreasonable or abusive in your relationship, then they won't change during your dissolution. Expect more of the same, only amplified many times; you will probably end up in court. So if you believe you will be getting divorced and you're married to such a person, by all means, plan ahead. Your spouse will not play fair, so find out how to protect yourself. I provide a no-charge, one-half hour consultation so you can determine the steps you should take prior to filing for divorce. We hope for the best, and plan for the worst. By taking preemptive and proactive steps, you will protect your rights and make the dissolution process much easier for your entire family.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her.

When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!

Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention.

Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had.

I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me.

Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked.

This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.

Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!

Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work.

The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her.

When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!

Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention.

Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had.

I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me.

Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked.

This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.

Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!

Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work.

The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her.

When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!

Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention.

Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had.

I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me.

Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked.

This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.

Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!

Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work.

The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her.

When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!

Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention.

Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had.

I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me.

Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked.

This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.

Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!

Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work.

The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her.

When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!

Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention.

Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had.

I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me.

Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked.

This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.

Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!

Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work.

The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her.

When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.

She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!

Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention.

Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.

Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had.

I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me.

Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked.

This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases.

Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.

After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.

Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat.

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!

Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work.

The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party.

She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.

Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was honest and upfront as to what to expect and very knowledgeable about the court system and how to proceed. Her and her staff did an excellent job handling my case. They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!

It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
I hired Pat Hendrickson to handle my divorce. I was in a long term marriage and had no idea what to expect.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage.

Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.

They answered all my questions along the way and gave me excellent and accurate advice. I just received my final court order today and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the judge made excellent decisions - he absolutely got the true picture of our marriage. Thank you sooooo much - you worked really hard for me to portray our marriage and circumstances to the Court and Judge Clay Smith made a great ruling in all areas. I don't say this because I feel like the ruling was in my favor, but because I believe that my case was presented very well. It is difficult to get 20 years of stuff across in a courtroom, but Pat did it well!
Pat was forthright from day one as to what I faced in my divorce because of a potential DV and substance abuse issues on both sides. I was able to retain visitation with my children and keep my house. Thank you Pat.
Patricia Hendrickson was the best attorney we could have hoped for. We had a very difficult case with a VERY difficult opposing party. Pat was honest, reliable, and stuck through it all over the LONG 2 years it took to finish the case. She worked with us and never gave up. She had no problem saying how she felt to the judge & proving that the other party was constantly lieing, and tormenting the boys. In the end, with all of her hard work and sincerity, we won the case. The boys are with parents now that love them, care how they do in school & because of that they are both doing amazing; the oldest is on the "Honor Roll". THANK you Pat for all your hard work. You have helped out in the lives of 2 boys that really needed a change and they got it..We will forever be grateful!!!
Patricia was straight forward with me from the first day. Her honesty and forthright manner created trust in me from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. Her office staff were always professional in their dealings with me. Pat really did solve my problem in a timely fashion.
I had a very complicated case, which included domestic violence, divorce and custody battle. It lasted over 4 years and Mrs. Hendrickson was there for me every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and truly cares abour the well-being of her clients. I had a great experience with her and would use her again in a heartbeat. I've already recommanded her to my acquaintances.
Hendrickson represented me in a child custody and divorce case. I went to a deposition and not only had she failed to prepare me (at all) she let me answer completely irrelevant questions, all while running up her bill. I switched lawyers. After that, her husband called with made-up charges which I refused to pay, leading him to call me a "deadbeat". If that's the kind of lawyer you want, choose Patricia. Everyone else, beware: this is the worst kind of fee churning bottom feeding attorney who will take you for everything you've got at a time in your life that you need competent representation.
How can I possibly convey what this woman has meant to me in my life in just 4000 words?! Patricia is one of those VERY rare attorneys that actually has a human heart. I came in to see her a little over 1 1/2 years ago, desperate and in need of someone to point and guide me into the right direction. Pat made me feel very comfortable and safe, and not in the 'just telling you what you want to hear' kind of way. She was real, she was honest and I knew that she was the woman I wanted to represent me in court. I'm not sure how much in detail I'm able to go with these types of reviews, but I will say that my case was one of those ultra sensitive termination cases. It was muddy and had lots of history attached to it, needless to say, as cut and dry as it may have seemed to me, there was a lot more proving that had to be done to solidify a ruling. This picture depicts her very well. Always smiling, always positive. It was obvious that she was very well known by her peers as she was always having to say hi or give advice to others when asked. She did her job and then some. We were hit with several curve balls during the actual 4 day trial, and Pat was able to adjust and redirect her focus unscathed. Her closing argument was long and thorough, she most definitely did not skip a beat, she left no stone unturned. And in the end, the judge ruled in our favor, not on only one account but on all three accounts. It felt to me like this was just as much of a win for Pat as it was for me. I know she lost sleep over this case, and was fighting this battle with everything she had. She is just an amazing woman, with amazing talent and I am forever indebted to her for what she was able to achieve for us (me and my child). Not enough thank yous' in the entire world to truly express the gratitude I feel in my heart.
Patricia A. Hendricson is not just an amazing attorney with vast knowledge of divorce and custody law, she is an icon of her profession. I say this because of her ability to literally control the pace and direction of a trial, while rendering all efforts of opposing counsel as futile folly. She's amazing to watch in action. Every time I went to court with her, other lawyers would scurry to her and ask for advice or legal precedent—much like a professor walking across campus. Another atribute of Pat's (a rare one at that) is that she truly CARES for her clients… as if she's taken you in like family. You can't buy that kind of sincere connection and level of attention. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody battle or for an adoption issue, you'll find no better champion of your cause than Patricia A. Hendrickson!
Pat Hendrickson was the answer to my prayers and then some. I really appreciated how personable and down to earth she is. I instantly felt comfortable discussing my situation with her. She listens with the ear of an attorney interpreting the law and yet it feels like your talking to your close friend. She is a woman who approaches her life work with higher purpose and it comes through upon contact. She helped me beyond what I could have anticipated and I will always remember with huge gratitude.
We highly recommend Pat Hendrickson to anyone needing a true expert in Termination of Parental Rights and Step-Parent Adoptions. Pat knows the law better than anyone we spoke with prior to hiring her. We interviewed and met with many attorneys, and ultimately hired Pat after a 1-hour telephone consultation, before even meeting her. We were that confident in her knowledge of the law. When all other lawyers said it couldn't be done, Pat was confident in the outcome of our case and she was correct! Pat was definetely our "ace in the hole" and we are so thankful we hired her. She is a superb, honest, and tough attorney who has seen it all, heard it all, and is poised and ready to fight for her clients.
