Amazing attorney. I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to handle my divorce and custody. Mr. Patton is very experienced. He handled my case with passion and integrity. Him and his office staff were very thorough and answered any and all questions that arose. Professionalism was at its best. Hands down, he was the better one in the court room.-

Mr. Patton helped me with a case 9 years ago. I was trying to get my license back recently and they wanted me to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it. One of those hoops was connected to that case. I called up Mr Patton and without hesitation he drew up the document and provided me with what I needed. He was incredibly generous and covered the filing fee because I drove all the way to gilmer from Henderson and forgot my wallet. He DIDNT have to do that. Thank you Mr Patton. -
