Law Office of Patricia A. Rigdon

In 2019 I retained Patricia for my family law matter, only to discover she runs a one-attorney practice that was completely overwhelmed by the case. Communication was almost nonexistent—emails routinely ignored—and she failed to pursue critical negotiations or issue subpoenas for key records. The opposing side ran rings around her the entire time. For a family law attorney, this level of incompetence is shocking; she ranks as the worst lawyer I’ve ever retained. Her initial show of toughness was enough to extract a $10,000 retainer from me, but that was the last useful thing she did. Once I asked for my money back she simply walked away. Switching to a sharper, more assertive attorney turned the case around and produced a favorable result.

I had hired Patricia in 2019. Extremely poor representation. She is a one person operation (one attorney). She took on my case and was not able to handle it. Emails went unanswered, dropped to ball on crucial negotiations, refused to subpoena records. The other party danced circles around her. And this is family law attorney??? The worst attorney I have ever hired. She appeared aggressive enough to persuade me to hand her $10,000. Little did I know. I demanded my money back and she quit. I hired a more competent and aggressive attorney and won my case.

Patricia was a god-send to me. Even writing this review I get heart palpitations thinking what I would have done the past six (yes SIX!) years without her. It has been such an emotional time and with Patricia's support and advocacy I came out on top. She kept me calm and level headed when my anger wanted me to explode, all while fighting hard for me in an upstanding fashion over and over again. I will always think back to this chapter of my life and know that I made it through successfully because of her abundance of knowledge and support. I can never thank her enough.
