Hired Attorney Patrick George

Pat negotiated a settlement far beyond my expectations, and far more than what the national avg. states on similar work comp case settlements. He doesn’t settle for less than what your case warrants and isn’t afraid to keep the negotiations open until your case settles for the amount it deserves. Also, he makes himself available and communication is exceptional!

Pat, Monique and the rest of the Racine Olson team are nothing short of phenomenal. They navigated an extremely complex liability case with the utmost professionalism. I could not have had a better team on my side. From the first moment to the resolution of my case, I always knew what was happening and the team made sure I understood every step of the process. Pat and his team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome of a very difficult case. Thank you isn't enough to express my gratitude.

Hired Attorney Fred Lewis

I hired attorney Fred Lewis Pocatello of Law firm Racine Olsen to represent me in a Workman's Compensation case. I suffered a life changing serious injury at work. From day one, attorney Pocatello and his staff at Racine Olsen made me feel like they had my back. When I first met Mr. Pocatello, I was kind of nervous. Mr. Pocatello made me feel comfortable from my first visit till the end of the process. He is a good listener, excellent leader, trustworthy, professional, competent & very compassionate. Mr. Pocatello gave me the right advice according to my case. Mr. Pocatello spent a great amount of his time explaining everything in detail to satisfy my needs and what to expect in order for me to make my own decisions. He gave advice whenever needed; He was always responsive to any question that I had about my case in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mr. Pocatello and law firm Racine Olsen to anyone in need of competent and effective legal representation for best outcome.

Patrick N. George is such amazing Attorney! Pat and I began our journey together almost 3 1/2 years ago. I had gotten injuried on the job. This was my first ever experience with this kind of thing so I had know idea what to do or expect not to mention i was terrified. Pat gained my trust from the beginning. He worked hard on my case making sure that I understood everything with never a question unanswered. Nothing about my case was easy. He worked hard and he did not ever stop. He is a very upfront and honest man. He gave me a piece of mind so when I needed the time to heal I did not have anything to worry about because I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Patrick N. George and even though we have completed our journey together I will sincerely miss him. Again Pat from the bottom of my heart Thank you.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
