About
Patterson Justice Counsel, PLLC has one mission: use the full force of the law to break down barriers and advance justice.Historically, the legal system has been weaponized as a tool of intimidation against people perceived as powerless and undeserving of the full respect inherent of humanity. The nation’s systems and laws were not applied consistently, equally, and equitably to everyone, but were instead used as a tool of oppression and suppression. These same laws and systems can be used as tools of liberation. The fight to maintain injustice can be dismantled with a fight to institute justice.Our mission ensures that the court system remains a public institution, belonging to everyone, and one that should distribute justice and preserve the interests and well-being of the people at its core. As such, Patterson Justice Counsel believes the law is best used to serve individuals and put their needs and interests above all else.Tina M.

I found Tina through the MI State Bar's directory. I reached out to her about doing the Power of Attorney paperwork with my father and me. I explained that he was in hospital and we wanted it done soon. Tina responded quickly and with kindness. She came to the hospital within a couple of days to consult with us, sent me a draft for review, and came back to the hospital to go over everything and finalize the documents with us. Later, when my father transitioned to hospice care, she met me at his care center to notarize paperwork. Now that my father has passed away, I am grateful to have Tina to help me navigate the legal aspects of tying up his affairs.
Attorney Patterson was very insightful and full of good advice and guidance with my probate case. She patiently listened as explained the lenghty details (unlike several other attorneys I spoke with previous to my call to her). She advised me of the laws pertaining to my cases. I would recommend her to anyone needing an attorney for any probate matters. Should I ever need a probate lawyer again she will be my only call!
Attorney Patterson exceeded my expectations with writing our Will and Power of Attorney’s...She was very patient with explaining everything we needed in detail I am very happy...I have already recommended her to some people I know...She definitely cares about pleasing her clients with careful attention to details...She is awesome and Loyal...I will continue to use her services when needed.
Tina is an amazing lawyer. She is really dedicated to what she is doing. She is very knowledgeable about what she does and she really helped me a lot. I am very lucky to have her as my lawyer and I will recommend her to anyone who needs her help.
Ms. Patterson treated me and my case very efficiently and in a speedy time frame. She was very easy to contact. She always responded quickly. She was very professional and would use or recommend her if the need occored in the future.
