Pat represented my family after an auto accident, leading our case to an agreeable outcome. He is thorough and complete, which typically found him prepared with more data and information than the other side had. He has years of useful experience. Highly recommend.

I have been impressed with Walter "Pat" Fitzpatrick from our first meeting. He listens carefully, explains all available options clearly, and remained supportive in every way possible throughout a prolonged and complicated legal battle. He is easy to reach, easy to talk with, always patient, and has been immediately responsive to every legal nuance. He has kept me informed and unfailingly treated me with respect and kindness. His staff is professional and efficient and it is always a pleasure to visit his office. Since the the day that Attorney Fitzpatrick agreed to take me as his client, he has devoted himself to the best possible outcome for me. He has exceeded my every expectation! My thanks to him and his super staff!

My van was hit from behind by large commercial truck. I suffered serious property damage. I also suffered serious bodily injuries which led to multiple surgeries, Serious pain and substantial loss of income. I needed a lawyer and a good one. Walter Fitzpatrick's calm confidence and cool demeanor told me I'd just found one. The only time he didn't meet my expectations was when he was exceeding them. If you're going to court, go to win and take Walter with you. He's as good as $ in the bank!!!!!

I feel that Mr. Fitzpatrick could have gotten me more money for my case. Sometimes it was hard to get a hold of him with questions.
