In my opinion, he Failed to try my case on the day of the trial and coerced me into signing many documents over 8 years. He failed to return calls, respond to important emails, and did not contact my witness to appear on day of the trial but said he did. He refused to go into the courtroom and represent me. He also, in my opinion, is responsible for elder abuse by refusing to try my case. There are many times,in my opinion,he created unnecessary costs in my case. No one should be treated the way I was. I was called names and left his office in tears. No one deserves to go through what I did.

Divorce is never easy,especially when the other party tries to weave a web of lies and plays dirty games.I am very thankful to Patrick for handling the case the way he did. It was based on honesty and integrity. He made compelling arguments based on facts which made the truth transparent to the court. I am also very thankful to Jon, who worked diligently on my case. He not only worked with me on a professional capacity, but also provided me with valuable advice and support on a personal basis. Also a special thanks to Jessica for being on top of keeping all the forms up to date and greeting me with a beautiful smile every time I paid a visit.At the end of the day the accolades and certificates won't win you the case.Experience, commitment and unabating passion for justice, will. I am very glad I chose this firm and that finally its all over. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

About 7 years ago, I was faced with the decision of a divorce. As a physician married to another physician and the potential for a "complicated" divorce, I asked a colleague/friend for a referral for the "best" OC attorney. I feel so blessed that I was referred to Pat McCall. In my opinion, he and his associate, Jon Kaiho, truly are the best! They are knowledgable, tenacious, compassionate and hardworking. They maneuvered through multiple attorneys, established protective orders, fought for my children's best interests and skillfully got me through a tortuous process that lasted 3 years and then an additional year, when I had to go back for failed child support. I was always kept informed and any questions/concerns re: legal process were promptly handled. I completely trusted my attorneys and had faith they would achieve the best possible outcome for all. Their entire staff (Emma and Rose) are a class act. I genuinely and highly recommend the Office of Patrick McCall!

For nearly all my life, I never even considered divorce an option. When it became inevitable, my world was turned upside down. When our sons were young and my (now ex) wife was dead set against sitters, I sacrificed an IT career to be a stay-at-home dad. To complicate matters, my ex unfairly filed a restraining order against me during the proceedings. Pat and Jon's tenacity and expertise resulted in the order being dropped in about a week's time. Further, Pat's negotiating skills brought me child and spousal support that is now enabling me to create a good home for my sons and get back on my financial feet. As this insanely difficult and emotional process of divorce closes out, I am very grateful to Pat and Jon for their guidance and courageous advocacy!

Our mother, who we care about dearly, is 83 years young. Unfortunately, we learned that one of our brothers was financially and emotionally abusing our mother, who had grown helpless with age. With the sad prospects that this situation was one of our mother’s last memories and the very real possibilities that our mother was at risk, we had to protect our mother. I met with Pat, felt incredibly reassured that this guy has been doing exactly what we needed for over thirty years. Pat placed us in the sure hands of his associate, Jon, an affable, straight-shooting guy, who prepared all the necessary paperwork. Filed and ready, Pat ensured that our bad brother was no longer in the picture via a five year domestic violence restraining order. Completely accessible, and always informing us along the way, we made the right choice for our mother.

Divorce is an ugly process that I would not wish on my worst enemy. I saw sides of my ex that I never knew existed and many times, my knee jerk reaction was to respond in kind. Pat and Jon kept me reigned in and told me which battles to fight. Recently, I was able to settle the matter, both saving me money and the unquantifiable emotional trauma. The best part about the process was that Pat and Jon kept me from responding in kind to my ex's b.s., warning me I would only be escalating the situation, which would be a detriment to my case. Now, with a favorable outcome, I finally understand and appreciate their approach. I saved a ton of money and was able to realize gains that I was not expecting.

Patrick is the best family law attorney in Orange/LA County! He is the "cream of the crop". I retained him about ten days before my custody and move away trial. The odds were stacked against me. The poorly done custody eval recommended that the kids be allowed to move away even though they were born and raised in SoCal. I was unhappy with my previous attorney. Patrick came highly recommended by two friends. I gave him my organized documents and he hit the ground running. He hired an excellent 733 expert to combat the custody eval. In trial, Patrick was phenomenal, he is eloquent, concise big picture minded. The judge deferred to him and complemented him often. The Custody Evaluator was decimated, so was the opposing party. They had no chance. After 5 days of trial over 2 weeks, the ex withdrew her move away at the last minute fearing a complete loss of custody. I got more time and the kids are here in SoCal, where they belong. Thank you Patrick, John, Emma, Rose, Jessica & staff, you a

Patrick is extremely knowledgeable. His expertise, report with Judges and focus with Opposing Counsel bodes well for his clients. His ability to assimilate information quickly leads to high efficiency and reasonable billing while achieving desired results. Patrick combines years of experience, accurate knowledge and compassion to navigate his clients through one of the toughest experiences one can face. His tenacity and personal fortitude in the face of incredible odds, is the reason my child is safe and flourishing. An AP/IB High School student, also named COO at age 17 of a start-up, my child is experiencing a full life because she is free. After an undesired 15 1/2 years through the Court system, working with 3 Attorneys and in pro per, Patrick made the last 2 1/2 years of daunting threats, bearable. My child is safe, thriving and successful because Patrick never gave up. I not only appreciate Patrick's professional abilities, but his character and amazing fortitude! -Free from DV!

I couldn't be happier with the outcome Patrick secured on my custody case. He managed to get me the desired results without a drawn out trial and did a great job educating me along the way.

I interviewed five attorneys before selecting Mr. McCall. He is knowledgeable, does his research and is honest and competent. He was able to negotiate with the other side for a favorable outcome. I wasn't looking for a babysitter; I needed tough, fair and effective representation. I would recommend Mr. McCall to anyone looking for a skilled professional.

I wouldn't hire him to walk my dog. Oh, wait I no longer have my dog, or house, or anything else because he sold me out to the other side. And, get this, I wasn't even married to my ex-GF, and the house was ONLY in my name. Pat missed court because he forgot he had my case. His associate had NO Idea what she was doing, I could have done better. He NEVER answered a single email. Only answered half the questions ever put to him. Sent mail addressed to me to my EX-GF. He was the worse I could have had.

Mr. McCall did a fantastic job for me. He is an awesome trial lawyer. Mr. McCall was able to control the court room. I was amazed about how he is able to cross examine a witness. He was extremely knowledgeable about my case and the law. I don't understand the negative comments I read in some of the other postings. Mr. McCall was always responsive to my inquiries. Communication by email was great. Also, Mr. McCall didn't over charge me. In fact, his fees were half of my ex-spouse's fees. I would recommend Mr. McCall to anyone.

Great litigator. If he is the opposing counsel know the law because he is well versed in it. He is usually in court but has a helpful staff. He has a great associate who is his right hand person. She's very smart and beautiful. She's probably the best thing that ever happened for his firm. They make a great duo.
