Lucas Patricia

My experience with Patricia Lucas as opposing counsel was overwhelmingly negative and caused significant, avoidable hardship. I feel it’s important to warn others clearly and directly. Throughout the legal process, Ms. Lucas consistently failed to meet reasonable expectations of timeliness, communication, and professional diligence. Deadlines that were clearly documented in writing were repeatedly ignored. Simple requests went unanswered for days or weeks at a time, even when the matter was explicitly identified as time-sensitive and financially consequential. Multiple follow-ups from my counsel received no response, and critical documents that should have been promptly shared were instead delayed without explanation. On several occasions, the reasons eventually provided for these delays were inconsistent with the sequence of events or were so vague that they offered no meaningful justification at all. These repeated delays were not minor inconveniences — they created significant financial risk, increased legal costs, and jeopardized the viability of a mortgage approval tied directly to the timely completion of the separation process. At one point, the process was pushed so far past the documented deadline that I nearly lost my ability to keep my home. No client, or opposing party, should ever be placed in that position because of counsel’s inaction. I interacted with several professionals during this process, and the difference in responsiveness and professionalism between Ms. Lucas and other counsel was stark. In my view, her pattern of conduct reflects a disregard for the impact her delays have on real people’s lives and a lack of respect for the urgency and seriousness of family law matters. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend her to anyone seeking representation. Family law requires timeliness, transparency, and consistent communication. Those qualities were not present here. If you are choosing a lawyer for a sensitive or time-dependent matter, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. People going through a family separation already face emotional and financial strain, they should not have to endure additional hardship caused by counsel’s lack of follow-through. This process was already painful, and her lack of professionalism made an already difficult situation far harder than it needed to be.

Highly recommend.

Extremely unprofessional. I retained Patti several years ago. I never imagined she would have the audacity to try and represent my ex against me. This is a conflict of interest, and I won my case having her removed as counsel. Family law is a sensitive matter, and you need to have faith knowing your counsel will uphold their oath and not use your vulnerabilities against you. She did not have the best interest of her client, she simply wanted money and knew all along what she was doing was wrong. I do not recommend Patti Lucas. Find yourself a lawyer who has your best interests at heart and upholds their oath.

Nothing but good things to say about Patricia's services. Efficient, professional and on time, everything progressed as planned. Thank you again Patricia for all of your help. I will highly recommend your services.

She's a pit bull..! You want this lawyer on your side...! She's the best..!
