Testimonials
See What FORMER CLIENTS Have to Say
Sam has been and continues to be an incredibly helpful and reliable resource as I continue to go through one of the most stressful events of my life. His knowledge of the law and experience combine to be not only the most powerful tool in my arsenal but a complete confidence builder in helping me know I'm doing the best I can possibly do for my kids and myself. I have worked with other attorneys, and there is no comparison. I fully recommend Sam Patry if you want someone who truly cares and will put serious effort and time into improving your situation.

Sam Patry… is an amazing attorney. He works with you, responds immediately, and keeps you updated on your case. He is super intelligent and thinks about every possible scenario. Thank you Sam!
M. S.
Client
My experience with Sam…was great and I could not possibly ask for a better attorney to fight for my rights as a father. No amount of thanks could possibly describe how grateful i am for what you did for me and my son. I wish i could go into detail about things but i can't for legal reasons, but wrecking ball and freight train on my side is an understatement. I just wish i could thank you enough, but there is no way to put value on keeping a father/mother and son together equally like you have. Thank you so so much.
