"Having consulted with several other criminal defense attorneys I knew after speaking to Patrick Carey that he was the right attorney to have on my side in the courtroom. Patrick was nothing but courteous, knowledgeable, and professional throughout my whole case from start to finish. He took time to explain every step of the process ensuring I was informed and supported. His expertise and knowledge resulted in a favorable outcome for myself and also helped expunge my charges. I am truely grateful for his services. I would not hesitate to recommend Patrick Carey to anyone facing similar challenges in their life."
