Multiple attorneys with PATTON TRIAL GROUP have earned the prestigious AV peer-review rating by the Martindale-Hubbell legal directory.

The firm draws upon the comprehensive background and experience of more than 150 years of litigation experience and nearly 100 jury trials. This experience and willingness to see the case through trial is what sets the firm apart. While most defense counsel aggressively defend matters up to the courthouse steps, only to offer substantially more to avoid taking those final steps. PATTON TRIAL GROUP takes pride in quickly evaluating matters, recommending a reasonable early offer, and if the opposition rejects the offer, moving forward with every intention of litigating the matter to jury verdict.

PATTON TRIAL GROUP is a full service litigation firm, which handles personal injury, products liability, professional liability, construction defects and business/commercial litigation.

Collectively, the firm’s attorneys have conducted thousands of examinations under oath and depositions regarding suspicious property loss claims, fraudulent personal injury accident claims, and inflated and unreasonable medical payment claims. Hundreds of these suspicious claims have been tried or arbitrated.
