He was super helpful through out the cases. Kept me informed and handled everything and anything related to the case and made sure my license was not suspended. I did not need to go to court, he went on my behalf and took care of any paperwork. He also listened to my side of the story and took any evidence I had related to my case and helped prove me innocent. He handled both the DMV case and the police case for me and helped me win both my case! Amazing lawyer

At the most anguished and desperate time of my life, I hysterically searched Los Angeles criminal attorneys on my iPad in my hotel room. I had come to California from the Midwest just the night before to search for my son who had been missing for weeks. While searching the city at places I knew he had recently frequented, I received a call that he was in jail in a city in Los Angeles County. After spending most of the afternoon in a police station, I was finally told what he had done. It was a felony act that could have resulted in a Federal charge. My wonderful son was sitting in jail, and I had no idea what to do except find an attorney. I believe Divine Intervention led me to J. Patrick Carey. My son had never been in trouble and didn’t use drugs, but I knew something was terribly wrong for him to do such an act. I wanted to take him home and get some professional help. Pat found someone to get him out of jail and did whatever legal work necessary for me to take my son to our home in the Midwest. His experience in the District Attorney’s office and as a Criminal Attorney was invaluable, but his compassion, kindness, understanding, and dedication to his client and patience with me made us forever grateful that he was on my son’s team. After months of medical testing and appointments with mental health professionals, my son was diagnosed as schizophrenic. After living 27 years of a normal life, schizophrenia changed my son in ways I never could imagine. Pat succeeded in getting him into the Diversion Program, and today his case is closed and sealed. Living in a state 2000 miles from Los Angeles and having no experience in either mental health or criminal issues, Pat was truly a Godsend. We could never have navigated through California’s court system without Pat’s experience, knowledge, integrity, compassion, understanding, and advice. Instead of having a criminal record and spending years in jail, my son’s case is sealed and he’s getting the care he needs. I’ve had attorneys in non-criminal matters, and I’ve never known one as responsive to clients as Pat. He’s available by phone, text, or email without going through a gatekeeper. I first contacted him on that terrible day well after business hours and he responded quickly. I give J. Patrick Carey the highest rating and strongest recommendation that’s allowed. If you ever need a criminal attorney anywhere around Los Angeles, contact Pat. I promise you will never regret it.

Needed an expungement to travel for work and Pat handled absolutely everything as fast as humanly possible. I would recommend him in any situation

I highly recommend Mr.Carey as an defense attorney, he solved my case quick and save me thousand of dollars, I really appreciate his honesty. I am a very happy client, thank you so much.

From my first consultation with Mr. Carey, I can tell he is someone you can count on. He is prompt, professional and compassionate. Mr. Carey is very knowledgeable, drawing from experience both in criminal defense and previously as prosecution. He is well rooted in the community. He explained the process then thoroughly described the possible outcomes and his strategy. Knowing I have his backup is very reassuring.

Pat did an unbelievable job, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer. The process was smooth and efficient. I truly think he will find the best outcome for any client!

I'm taking the time to write this for two reasons: Out of gratitude to Pat for his hard work and guidance on a matter that could have significantly impacted my future and because I believe many people have little, other than reviews like this, to help them make the important choice of a defense attorney. What stands out from my experience working with Pat is his honesty, his empathy, and his responsiveness. He gave me thorough, transparent assessments of my situation as it evolved and seemed to have an excellent understanding of the Prosecutor's perspective - a big advantage to any defense. He is an attentive and empathetic listener, and I always left our conversation feeling that Pat had control of the situation, a good action plan for whatever might unfold and - always - my best interests at heart. If he wasn't immediately available, Pat always returned my calls promptly and quickly addressed any concern I had. In the end, my case had a very favorable outcome - much better than I had initially expected. In my view, the experience of working with Pat could not have been better. While I hope to never need his services again, I trust and have great confidence in Pat. I can recommend him unequivocally and very enthusiastically.

If you are looking for a lawyer in LA County, and you don’t know where to turn, Pat Carey is a great choice. Pat knows everyone in the region, having served for a decade as a prosecutor for the LA County DAs Office. His local knowledge is invaluable. Pat is a great listener and gives sound and thorough advice. We are grateful to have found him.

Pat exhibited excellence in patience, trust, communication, honesty and reliability with me. He showed humility, at a time when I was vulnerable and distressed from alleged allegations against me. Pat won my case. I am very thankful and proud to have Pat as my attorney at law. I highly recommend Pat Carey.

Pat was very professional and helpful in explaining everything to us. He was very easy to communicate with and took the time to explain things that needed more in depth explinations. He also was very quick to reply to us when we had more questions. He was always on top of sending us paperwork and keeping us up to date on things. He won the case and helped us close everything up. I am happy he was our attorney for this case.

Pat is totally worth it for what he has done for me. I can’t thank him enough for his time as my lawyer. He has handled my cases with professionalism and with great success. Pat is great at what he does. I made my mistakes and he help me correct them with ease. You won’t be disappointed.

We recently hired Pat after we were hit with a temporary restraining order from a neighbor who was “building a case” against us. From the moment we had our consultation with him, we knew he was the right fit. Pat knows the law. He is focused and strategic; honest and trustworthy. He has a presence in the courtroom that cannot be matched. Throughout our entire legal battle, he was supportive and understanding, always making us feel confident that we had the right representation. Pat built our case so that our neighbor had no choice but to dismiss her case against us. Not only that, but he was able to prove to the judge that we were actually the ones being harassed. The judge granted our request for a restraining order against our neighbor and also granted our request for attorney fees. We could not have done this without him. Pat, a million times THANK YOU!!!
