Attorney Patterson knows how the family court operates and that’s how she strategizes.
I wasn’t sure why this particular case was taking so long and then when we finally had our day in court... Nailed It!!!
That was such a great victory because Attorney Patterson laid all of the right bricks in place.
She knew exactly what was best for a difficult situation and I’m convinced that she is one of the best at what she does.
I would highly recommend someone with her expertise.

Attorney Rhonda L. Patterson has qualifications and an educational background of a high profile lawyer. Previous testimonials from clients seem to tell a story that supports her qualifications. This client testimony is the complete opposite, unfortunately. Before delving into the details of the experience, challenges of the unprecedented times (SARS-COV2) have been accounted for. Overall, the client experience in this instance has been below subpar. The pros of Attorney Patterson’s services are her expertise in legal etiquette and connections to other relevant judicial stakeholders to expedite client needs. The cons of Attorney Patterson’s services are plentiful. She lacks client empathy, often treating valid concerns and questions as frivolous inquiries. As a result of this lack in empathy she often does not respond to communication in various forms, text, email, and phone. In the event that she does respond late she addresses only parts of concerns presented. Her only consistent communication revolves around payments/compensation for her lackluster efforts. Attorney Patterson lacks initiative in important client requests (subpoenas, etc.), dragging her feet in regards to obtaining information the client was able to obtain through self-inquiry in 2 days after an extended period of her dropping the ball. Furthermore, instead of advocating for clients, in this case she ignored the client’s desires and produced what she thought would provide a “band-aid fix” to the situation. Unfortunately, her solution lacked thoroughness and is still presenting challenges for her client to date. I would not recommend attorney Patterson for the aforementioned experiences and I hope this provides more up-to-date perspective for future potential clients.

I WAS REFERRED TO MS.RHONDA FROM A MUTUAL FRIEND AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER LAWYERS. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER LAWYER TO REPRESENT ME FOR A DIFFICULT CASE THAT WENT ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 3YRS DUE TO ME MOVING OUT OF STATE. AFTER 6 CONTINUATIONS, EMERGENCY CUSTODY BEING DENIED, PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL STRESS. I SOMETIMES FELT LIKE GIVING UP. MS. RHONDA GAVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WOULD BE JUST FINE. WE FINALLY HAD OUR COURT DATE THIS MONTH AND WE GOT THE MAJORITY OF EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR!! WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE. HER PRICES ARE REASONABLE IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD HER PRICES SHE HAS A COLLEAGUE WHO SHE REFERS YOU TO WHOM PRICES ARE MORE AFFORDABLE. SHE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING. SHE KEEPS YOU INFORMED AND IS ALWAYS GREAT WITH RESPONDING BACK TO ANY CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE. AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHANGING ME AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE FOR THE BETTER MS.RHONDA. SHE WILL DEFINITELY BE MY ATTORNEY FOR LIFE!

I hired Rhonda to represent me in June 2018. Yes was always very professional. Very easy and comfortable to work with scheduling meetings times. My first and only lawyer before Rhonda did not see my interest at heart. That same lawyer already had multiple bad run-ins with the judge over family court. That same lawyer did not help fight for my rights and child rights but only to just get money from me and rearrange my court order also continued multiple times to get court date continue to a later date just to add on more court costs/fees. Rhonda took care of my court case from start to finish in under 5 minutes. Rhonda is fair and worth every penny of her time and effort into your case. I strongly recommend Rhonda Patterson for any family court hearings. Rhonda is highly educated in the family court area

Rhonda was my second attorney and has guided me through a very contentious divorce including a complicated child custody dispute. She paid close attention to all of the details I communicated wth her and always had sensible advice not aimed at continuously heightening the legal battle, but trying to resolve things in the simplest and most fair manner. She did not always tell me what I wanted to hear, but instead what I needed to hear. She is fair, compassionate and understands the local courts, judges and the likely outcome of suggested legal steps. Rhonda is excellent at what she does. Even through all of the complicated issues I have had in my divorce proceedings, she has kept the details straight and I am so appreciative to her. I ultimately was awarded primary physical and legal custody of my children and will be forever appreciative to her for that.

Rhonda is an EXCELLENT attorney and worth every dime. She works hard for her clients, has a very thorough understanding of not just the law but how the court system works. She makes every effort to ensure her clients understand both sides of the options presented in an effort to help them make informed decisions. She works tirelessly and is dedicated to helping her clients receive the best outcome possible in very difficult circumstances - in my case, a divorce that included a custody dispute. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so. She is excellent!

Attorney Patterson was a magnificent force in negotiating my child custody and divorce proceedings for me. She was the perfect in between that I needed when my previous lawyer failed me. I was extremely happy and satisfied with the thorough services she provided. She is proficient in her legal advice and the legal proceedings and she paid close attention to every detail.
I was very thankful to have hired her and would recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I hired attorney Patterson to represent me in an international child custody and divorce, at first I was little bit frustrated because it was my first time going to court and the long process so I didn't had an idea, but with my attorney, I won all the permanent custody of my son and they divorce she knows what she does, slow but sure, hire her and just sit back and relax no worries also her fees is very reasonable compare to other lawyers.

I was very impressed with the reviews posted online at avvo so I contacted Ms. Patterson's office on a Monday and was able to meet with her the very next day for a consultation. I was very pleased with the info received and how she answered all my questions pertaining to my upcoming custody case. When I left Ms. Patterson I knew I would recommend her to anyone looking for representation. She is very compassionate and knowledgeable and well worth the money spent. She works with the clients unlike other lawyers that only do it for a pay day. Call her if you need representation she will get the job done or at least help in any way possible.

Attorney Patterson works hard for her clients. Although, she acquired my case from a lawyer (who became a Judge and had to relinquist the case ) it was as if there was not a break in the case or change at all. She is professional, detailed, and prepared. It is clear that her passion for law is exhibited inside and outside the court. Additionally, her warm compassion for her clients is an added bonus that does not go unnoticed. I recommend her highly.

Rhonda works quickly and she gets the job done, not to mention and she's affordable. I was feeling kind of helpless and lost when my ex filled for full custody of our daughter. The attorney I had before Rhonda was horrible and my ex's attorney shut our argument completely down. That's when I knew that I needed a BEAST in the courtroom that's when I was referred Ms Rhonda Patterson. We met, I told her my side of things and what I wanted to happen as far as custody and child support and she made it happen! I didn't have to harrass her or try to hunt her down trying to find out things regarding our case because she has stayed on top of everything from start to finish and she made sure that I was kept updated on all paperwork and approaching court dates! Rhonda is definitely a great family / divorce attorney to have on retainer!

Rhonda did an incredible job for me!!! She was very organized, tenacious & defended me with a passion. Although the opposing counsel was a high priced attorney with a large firm she picked apart their argument. In the end I was awarded back child support & an additional award that I wasn't expecting.
