Atty Patrick Waters is by far one of the best lawyers based on my firsthand experience when I hired him as my legal counsel. He really takes his time to listen to the client and gives you his knowledge about the case and his expert opinion on it. He doesn't sugarcoat anything so rest assured you will get truthful and unbiased feedbacl. He provided me with answers to my questions. In addition to this, his demeanor was very accommodating and friendly and you don't get that from most lawyers. I felt very at ease the whole time I had lengthy dicussions with him either through the phone or in person. He was a powerhouse and a formidable lawyer during trials. Because of his knowledge and expertise, I won my case which he had already had foresight of even before the verdict came out. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know needing legal counsel on areas that he practices. Best of all, his rates are very affordable.
