About R.A. 'Brook' Patterson III

R.A. Patterson, III began his legal career defending the rights of abused and neglected children in judicial hearings through the Guardian Ad Litem program even before he attended law school. During the summer of his second year of law school, he worked with the Escambia County State Attorney's office handling full criminal jury trials under the supervision of a licensed attorney. He prosecuted three cases to jury trial before returning to finish school. Mr. Patterson returned to Escambia County and worked for two years defending criminal cases as an Assistant Public Defender.

Mr. Patterson entered private practice in 1996 and worked as counsel for both injured workers and for the insurance companies until 1998 when he joined with Morgan & Morgan. He has worked exclusively for injured workers' and Florida's consumers ever since. Mr. Patterson has represented thousands of injured workers and continues to be active in protecting their rights through his support of legislative and lobbying efforts to reform Florida's Workers' Compensation Law.

Mr. Patterson goes by his nickname Brook; he lives in Valrico, Florida with his wife, Sally and his two children, Riley and Gracie.

Hired Attorney R.A. 'Brook' Patterson III

I mostly worked with Brooks assistant Britney and she was very kind, always answered all my questions, and when i told her my financial situation, she worked as fast as she could to get me my check. Thank you Mr. Patterson for taking my case and thank you Britney for such fast and professional communication, you helped my family in a tough financial situation.

Morgan & Morgan is an amazing firm. I don’t know why this guy is even part of it. No communication, extremely rude, only cares about money and twisted my words to make it seem like I said something I did not say and wants me to do the legwork for him, and said to me, and I quote “ by law you have to do what i say”. Right after that comment I fired him. I have another case with Morgan and Morgan and that team is AMAZING.

Hired Attorney R.A. 'Brook' Patterson III

I have had many bad experiences, but this ranks as worst. I spoke with this man/woman only once. I advised him I had bipolar disorder as it affects my speecb. Well, if you have a disability, you do not want this man. He informed me in that case, he wanted to talk to my husband which was not going to happen Months went by. He was supposed to call me at 3 39pm. Every 10 to 15 min I text his par@legsl, no call. At 4 39 I texted her I was leaving. She swore he called me until I sent her screen shot that I hat waited for 1 HR. This was a fall. Simple. This Attny wanted me to sign off my hippie rights for my bipolar. He did not even call the right Dr. My Pcp dies not issue meds for that disorder. My psych does. That made him mad. I got an email from home that he was withdrawing to to lack I communication. But he submitted to the court irreconcilable differences. Neither of these applies. You cannot have irreconcilable differences with a person you have spoken to one time he abandoned client

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.
