Patrick is an excellent attorney whom I've had the pleasure of referring clients to that have criminal matters more severe than my office handles.

High class in what he does great guy, caring, fights for you, smart, everything you want in a lawyer and in a person Patrick helped save my life trust Patrick to do the jobPosted on ENEKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I LOVE this guy and what he stands for!!!Posted on SteveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you for your work with medical cannabis DUI laws. Unfortunately, any legislation comes too late for this Stage 4 breast cancer patient with her first DUI at age 65, loss of driver's license for a year - and lasting inability to drive to life prolonging treatment in Maryland. Not to mention thousands of $$ in fines and costs I will never be able to pay, and no mercy from a hardline D.A. in a corrupt county who wants to be A.G. Even the labs margin of error - which was three times the detected amount of .07ng/ml couldn't save me from an active AND a metabolite charge. This law will never change because there's too much money involved for counties and their "vendors". But it would be helpful for the (good guy) powers that be to keep in mind that all county-used labs/levels should be the same. It is patently unfair that had I been 20-miles west of York - in Adams County - I would have been "legal"....at a non-reportable level. And an honest, hardworking lifelong PA resident would not have had what is left of her life completely destroyed by the state she called home and paid property, wage, and other taxes to for 50+ years. I, now, hate Pennsylvania. What a racket.Posted on FibonacciTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

As I explained the details of the case to him, he said absolutely have him contact me immediately. Patrick got a successful resolution of the case for my friend. If you are in need of an attorney, look no further than Mr. Nightingale.Posted on Libby MongelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
