“It is amazing to see a parent get a second chance and run with it,” says Jessica. “A good outcome is when a family is able to move forward and find a good schedule for their children, especially when both parents agree to put the children first.”

Janet refers to her as “the ninja.”
According to Patty, her satisfaction comes from her rapport with clients and helping them get what they need. “Most people that call our firm are anxious, and many of them are worried about money,” says Patty. “By the time we finish talking, they are calm and we are talking like friends.” She also feels good when clients come back to Cape Fear Family Law if they need to, because they are pleased with our work.
In a prior life, Patty excelled as a Licensed Practical Nurse, or LPN, but the physicality of the job took its toll on her. Today, she enjoys her family and is settled in at Cape Fear Family Law. She is an avid reader and writer, particularly correspondence, and she can sew anything and everything, including cross-stitching.
