Excellent, professional, kind, considerate, concerned Lawyers and exceptionally competent staff. This is a fine firm that does what is needed and best for clients. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Dr. Steven Kepnes

These guys continue to impress me. Back when I was 22 and in college I used them to help me with an issue I had run into. Now I’m 29 and needed a quick legal question answered. I reached out to Doug Black and he was able to get me the information I needed. I continue to be impressed by their level of customer service. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

I had just moved to Santa Barbara when I was involved in a hit and run. I had no clue where to start as I knew no one to ask for lawyer recommendations. I did a google search and had a good feeling about Nordstrand and Black. They definitely didn't disappoint. Everyone is so knowledgeable and I felt that I was in great hands because they have so much experience in cases like mine. I don't know much about law; I felt very comfortable with their guidance in to how to proceed in my case. I am very fortunate I blindly found them and could not be happier with my choice!

I was in a very serious car accident back in Feb of 2021. Hit from behind, not at fault, and my car totaled. I was introduced to Renee, asked NordstrandBlack to represent me and they have been advocating for me for the past 17 months. Working closely w Doug, they made sure I got the medical care I needed, which was my number one priority, and were always available when I had any questions or concerns. Doug never wavered and kept me in the loop. Oh, and they got me the full settlement we asked for :) I never imagined I would need a lawyer, but when I did the NordstrandBlack team was the best choice for me. So whether in Santa Barbara or LA, I couldn't recommend them more. Thank you so much NorstrandBlack (Renee, Doug, Anne). I truly appreciate your support.

Renee Nordstrand from Nordstram and Black handled a case for my son. I want to thank her for all the work and favorable outcome for him. If you ever need a good attorney contact Renee Nordstrand. She is amazing. Very professional and caring. The office staff are awesome, always willing to help or answer questions.

I am a courier who delivers packages for an international delivery service. I have retained NorstrandBlack TWICE since 2015. In 2015 I was attacked by a Pitbull while delivering a package and was severely mauled and injured with puncture wounds and cuts in the ankle, inner thigh, and groin area. Additionally, due to these injuries I was unable to perform my duties as a courier for over a month. I contacted Renee Norstrand and for more than a year Renee, Douglas, and Anne worked diligently to obtain a settlement all while keeping me informed on the case. Because of their hard work and patience in negotiating with the homeowner’s insurance I finally received a VERY GENEROUS SETTLEMENT for my injuries from the Pitbull attack. Not only that, NordstrandBlack made sure the homeowner’s insurance would no longer insure the homeowner unless the Pitbull was no longer on the premises. Then, in 2020, again, while delivering a package, I was “rear ended” while I was at a full stop (not my fault). The driver who hit me did not brake at all and my delivery van was “totaled.” Due to the accident, I received back and knee injuries. Then, I knew EXACTLY who to call. Renee, Douglas, and their team jumped back into action and in nine months I received another generous settlement. “BOTTOM LINE,” Renee, Douglas, and Anne are the professional team you want to represent you when you need help. They have always been there when I needed them, just recently I called Renee and she referred me to an attorney who specializes in property owner and tenant issues and I called that attorney and my issues were immediately resolved.

Mr. Patterson is a brilliant lawyer. He has helped me several times on different matters. He always had a prompt resolution and was very informative and helpful. He is a very nice and gregarious man.

My husband and I are extremely grateful to Patterson Law for their expertise and integrity in helping us through our auto accident claim process. We could not have navigated all the complexities of the claims with the insurance companies and Medicare without Patterson Law’s patient and expert assistance every step of the way! Robert Patterson often made personal calls to us, answering our questions and updating us on the progress of our claim. His office manager was very accommodating with her friendly calls and e-mails to obtain accurate information from us to aid in the completion of our case. We highly recommend Patterson Law to anyone seeking superior legal advice delivered with graciousness and professionalism. This is truly a five-star office!

I am truly grateful that I was referred to Bob Patterson when I found myself dealing with an unexpected legal situation. Bob wasted no time and worked swiftly to ensure everything was taken care of on my behalf. His experience and wealth of knowledge reassured me and made a stressful situation much less stressful. I would work with Bob again in a heartbeat.

I do not have enough words to express all the positive things about Bob and his team. When we were in the unfortunate need of counsel, Bob was attentive, thorough, and caring. He had an exemplary way of communicating in a way so that we understood the process from start to finish, while demonstrating professionalism and kindness at the same time. Highly recommend.

We have worked with NordstrandBlack for years. Very effective legal team and highly trustworthy. We've referred cases to each other and the level of professionalism of their team is top-notch. I would highly recommend their team.

I searched around the Santa Barbara area for a law firm to represent me in in a personal injury claim. I wanted someone that would "fight" for me and that "had my best interest at heart." When I first met Renee and Doug, I was very impressed with them and their whole firm. They were friendly, professional and I could sense they were exactly what I was looking for. I was very satisfied on how they handled my case. Years later I had an auto accident and sought their help once more. Again, I could sense that they still had that "fight and eagerness in them" and that is why I asked them to represent me in this new case. I was correct and I am very happy with the closing of that suit. L.D. Santa Barbara
