Where can I start. I have been with this firm for 20 plus years for both personal and business purposes. I have owned several business (one a major worldwide franchise) and Pat has helped me navigate the treacherous area of Employment & Labor, Litigation and Business law. Anytime I needed a different specialty, Pat's entire team of lawyers and legal professionals, have been at my service when needed. An example would be for estate planning and family law. This firm is also very careful about the fees they charge and they help watch my pocket book. Do not get me wrong as I pay the going rate, but I never feel over charged. Because of our working relationship we are not great personal friends but we are friends. My wife is a dentist and has owned and operated (now a three doctor) practice for the last thirteen years. Pat and the professionals at Smith Paulson and O'Donnell have helped guide her dental practice to great success. That is for another review. If you hire Pat and his firm, and you will not regret doing so.
