Outstanding service for my divorce. I am so grateful I found FFBP. In my first meeting with Mark Patoile, he told me what would happen and that's exactly what happened. His experience in the area, local courts and understanding of family law are exceptional. I was assigned attorney Katie Yens to work my case, and she took care of everything. The entire team, Laura, Renee et. al. were thorough and gracious throughout. Highly recommend this firm for family law and other legal needs.

Mr. Patoile fought and defended my rights during a very contentious, high net worth divorce littered with false accusations, personal attacks and conspiracy theories. Mr. Patoile knows the judicial system in detail and what is real, what is fake, and the likely ruling from a Judge or Magistrate. He fought for my parental rights, my future financial security, and continued rights as a father and breadwinner. I never dreamed of being in the situation I was in, but I was very fortunate to have Mr. Patoile in my corner fighting for my rights every step of the way. I highly recommend Mr. Patoile as he is highly educated, understands your story, and represents your true character when the opposition is trying to demonize you and wear you down. At the end of the day, we are all judged on results and I am pleased to say I am better off today because of his legal advice and experience.

Working with Mark and his team made things easier to understand the process and keeping in mind what was best for me his client. Going thru the process of getting a divorce Mark provided me with a no nonsense approach and what was going to be needed to protect me and my assets in the process. I had expressed my concerns at our first meeting and he gave me all the more reason that I needed him and his firm's assistance. I believe he was a little shocked at what can be considered a win win situation but was in this to win but to be fair and make sure all avenues were considered.

Marc is a professional, no-nonsense attorney who knows the criminal justice system inside and out. His knowledge of local district attorney staff was a huge advantage. He goes in beyond prepared and takes the initiative to make appearances in court even before a set time to save his clients money and fees. I could not have been more pleased with the service I received and am thankful for his expertise, brevity and insistence that things get done as soon as possible through the court system.
