Patricia and her office seemed professional and supportive in the beginning, but like most family law practices, they are only out to make money. Patricia made many mistakes and some colossal. Sadly, most lawyers get away with mistakes that hurt you, your family and your case.

Pat was great upon my initial interview. She listened to my story & guided me to Arelis to help me through this most difficult time. Pat promised me that Arelis would take good care of me. She did not disappoint. Divorce is a very difficult process but with the help of Alrelis & the whole staff at Hendrickson, Cooper & Hughes I was able to stay focused on an eventual positive outcome not just for myself but also for my ex wife. We were able to come to an amicable agreement which saved us both in the long run. Arelis put together a strong judgment that helped me tremendously & we together got through this with only one court appearance. Thanks Arelis, Lisa, & the whole crew there!

After a lot of research and feeling out my phone calls with a few different lawyers in Huntington Beach, I ultimately chose Hendrickson. I liked Pat from the moment we started talking. She is very knowledgeable and truly cared about my family's situation. I felt like she really listened to our story the whole way through. The entire staff is very respectful and professional as well. Even though everything went smoothly, at the end of my case she still asked me how they could improve. I would have liked things to go quicker, but I think the timeline was pretty typical for these types of cases.
If you need a family law attorney, I would definitely recommend you at least meet with Ms. Hendrickson for all the reasons I mentioned above.

I was very thankful to have your firm on my side when it came down to my day in court! It was a very frustrating process but your office always assured me it would all work out. Thank you for the awesome service and dedication!

Where do I start…What an amazing group of people I had the pleasure of working with. I was dealing with a fraudulent adoption case on the part of my ex-wife and child support arrears in the amount of over 90,000. Patricia and her team of professionals were such a blessing to me and my family. I could never thank them enough for the work they put into my case. They searched and searched to find every possible piece of information that would help my case. They were able to find records and case law I would never in a million years been able to find on my own. The staff was always available to answer any questions I had. It was a very stressful time in my life but seeing the work they were doing along the way gave me every confidence I had a chance at winning my case. About a month ago that’s exactly what happened. The courts ruled in my favor and the arrears were removed. This was absolutely no doubt due to the hard work that Patricia and her team of professionals put into my case. I will spend the rest of my life being grateful to them for what they did for me and my family.

With deep gratitude always,

Neil E. Saavedra

I went to Patricia a few years ago. She seemed really nice, acted as if she wished to help in any way she could. BUT........... I have tried over 10 times to email, call, leave messages and not once has anyone returned my call. I need an adoption attorney! Picking an attorney for such sensitive serious issues is scary! All I can come up with is that maybe I don't have a case, so I am not worthy of a return phone call! Google this women, some interesting stories come up about her. DO NOT trust this "firm" with any part of your life! If they cannot make one curtesy call, they are not worthy of your business. I believe the comment below mine (feb 10), I suspect is an employee or maybe Ms Hendrickson herself!!

There are MANY attorneys out there, don't be fooled by someones charm. I now consider this as she did me a favor, as she could have returned my call and I could have given her a LOT of $$$$$$$ for nothing! Instead, just some lost sleep!

Hey Pat, have some consideration and return peoples attempts to contact! I know my emails could not have gone to spam, as you had written me a few times before! Its the respectful thing to do! I think waiting 2 years for a return phone call is ridiculous, ON MY PART!
