I would highly recommend Attorney Hand if you are seeking a very competent, effective and reasonable legal representative for probate administration and litigation matters. Attorney Hand was extremely helpful in assisting me and my siblings, in our capacity as personal representative resolve a very complicated, nuanced estate dispute. Thank you Attorney Hand!
My family and I have relied on Patrick T. Hand, attorney at law, since 2011, when we needed someone with the legal expertise to help us with a serious family probate matter. My severely schizophrenic sister suddenly stopped showing up for work – a job she’d had for 29 years. There was no way to communicate with her as she wouldn’t open the door or answer the phone. After four months, I became her court-appointed conservator in an emergency hearing to pay her bills and save her benefits, The judge tasked me with finding a legal guardian to look out for her since I live 3,000 miles away. Patrick T. Hand proved to not only be a knowledgeable attorney about probate division matters and mental health laws, but a good man in a storm – always there for my sister no matter how much she resisted his help through 14 hospitalizations, a missing car with multiple tickets, landlord and neighbor issues, an eviction, and now a stable and ideal living environment. If it were not for Patrick T. Hand’s expertise and fortitude, I’m quite certain my sister would be homeless.
We have a small business in Washington, DC. Patrick helped us amend our operating agreement when we brought on a third partner. He made the process straightforward, easy and charged surprisingly reasonable rates. Patrick took care of exactly what we asked him to do professionally and efficiently. We would hire him again for any legal matter. We have and will continue to recommend him to other businesses and friends.
I needed a new will after my husband passed away. After discussing with my attorney and listening to his many good advises I had a new will to my total satisfaction. Time has passed and there are many changes in my life. Possibly I will need a new will and I'll contact him one more time soon.
I have had the opportunity to work with Patrick and in my experience he is very knowledgeable, diligent, and intelligent. He is very professional in his approach but he is also very pleasant and thoughtful and listens to what his client needs to get the best result.
Patrick just finished representing the Estate of my late wife. He displayed great intelligence creativity and compassion.
