I am an attorney myself. For nearly five years Patricia has been representing my family in an extremely difficult child custody case. She has been there for us every step of the way. Recently we had to go to court for a critical hearing in the case. Patricia was fully prepared and just as importantly had us fully prepared. The other side was completely overwhelmed by her efforts and you could see the defeat in their faces the moment they stepped into the courtroom. The confidence that the judge had in her was clearly evident. She is quite at ease in all of the courtrooms in Williamson County and is well respected there.

I would highly recommend Patricia to anyone needing a good family law attorney.
