Mike Obernesser is very knowledgeable and helpful. After talking with probably 10 attorneys he was the most honest and forthcoming. Highly recommend!

I needed assistance with estate documents (i.e., will, medical and general power of attorney, advanced directive) and the experienced professionals at Patterson Weaver Law made the entire process simple and affordable. Hailley Joyner and Angelina were able to work with me via email and phone calls, and I only needed to visit the office once for the review and notarization of the documents. While there, I found the staff warm and accommodating — and the new office location was easy to get to, easy to park, etc. I am very pleased with how the process turned out, and would highly recommend PW Law to others with similar needs.

I have known Patterson for 12 years. I went to law school with him and have been impressed for years by his work ethic, honesty, intelligence, passion for the law, and genuine care for others. If you have the privilege of having Patterson as your attorney for criminal defense, estate planning, or personal injury, you have been blessed. As an attorney, I would choose Patterson to represent me if I needed help. In law school he was well known for being one of the best students and litigators. There is no question. Patterson is one of the best attorneys I know.

2022-10-20

The Patterson Weaver team was amazing! They showed care and compassion for my situation. With a short timeline, they moved into action and made me feel like everything was in control because of solid communication. They were able to produce a positive outcome that will affect my family’s future. Highly recommend their services.
