Top review highlights

Pros

Knowledgeable and experienced in family law, especially in divorce and custody cases

“Ms. King was completely unprepared to represent a father in a divorce case. She was unsympathetic, lax in her motions, and disengaged from me as her client.”

Aggressive and effective in court, with a strong track record of successful outcomes for clients

“Every time Defoe walked into court he walked out disappointed as Pat Chvatal successfully argued my case time and time again!”

Compassionate and caring, providing personalized attention and support to clients during difficult times

“Pat and her staff have been caring and patient with me during this difficult time. Pat is very professional and took time to talk to me and truly listen.”

Transparent and upfront in their communication, setting realistic expectations for clients

“She explained to me what I could realistically expect. I didn't want an attorney who promised me everything just to get my money so I hired her.”

Cons

Some clients felt their attorney was disengaged, unsympathetic, or did not fight hard enough for their desired outcome

“If I had to choose again, it wouldn't be her. I was left with non shared custody of my kids because of her inability to fight for a father's rights or even act like she wanted to.”

Concerns about lack of responsiveness and communication from the attorneys and staff

“Extremely unprofessional. Been emailing them for an entire week with no response.”
