Law Office of Patricia A. Hendrickson & Associates
Commited to Serving You and Your Family Needs
Firm Overview
As a firm, our focus on handling family law and divorce-related issues for
the people of Orange County has earned us an excellent reputation among our
peers, those within the judicial communities, and our clients, as exemplified by
their heartfelt testimonials . Still, we know that when it comes to your
family, choosing a California divorce or family law attorney is not an easy
decision. Knowing what we value may make your choice easier:
- Professional Excellence -
The specialized focus and
experience we have in the field of family law enables us to keep our legal
knowledge and abilities sharp. Our lawyers have a proven track record in
successfully resolving conflicts both inside and outside of the courtroom, and
the credibility we have established with other attorneys in the area is an
invaluable asset in working out complex family issues.
- Creative Solutions -
Family law is challenging. The best
solution in one situation may be far from it in another, and knowing how to find
what works requires something more than just a law degree. As a firm, we are
fortunate to have lawyers and staff members who possess a rich variety of
backgrounds, knowledge, and life experience. This diversity lends itself to
creative, out-of-the-box thinking and as a result, the solutions we achieve are
tailored for your unique situation.
- Client Involvement -
As lawyers, we know that the
clients themselves are our best ally and resource in their family law concerns.
For this reason, we emphasize full client participation from the very beginning
of a case on through its conclusion. We help our clients to understand the law
and the process ahead. We make sure they are kept aware of their legal options
and the chances they have for a successful outcome so that they can always make
informed decisions.
- Non-Judgmental Legal Care -
We do not judge our clients
or their problems. What we do concentrate on is problem solvingâno matter what
the problem is. We are willing to go the extra step in helping our clients and
their families, including appropriate referrals to mental health care
professional or addiction specialists, among others. All matters are handled
with sensitivity and discretion.
- A Positive Approach -
We understand that most clients
come to us in a state of acute distress -- angry or depressed and afraid of what
the future might bring. Recognition of this reality guides us in our
representation of you each and every day in which we work on your case. As we
zealously represent your interests during the proceeding, we also do what we can
to ease your distress through this transition period in your life. We also
share laughter with our clients. We stay in touch with many of them after their
cases have resolved. We are a full-service family law firm in every sense of
the word.

Patricia Hendrickson
graduated from Western State College School of Law as Salutatorian of my class
after serving on Law Review throughout law school. In addition, I served as an
extern to Presiding Justice David G. Sills at the Fourth District Court of
Appeal, and was named to Who's Who in American Colleges.
I limit my practice to those matters dealing exclusively with family law. Of
course, "family law" is a broad term encompassing marital dissolution,
separation, child custody, child support, spousal support, parentage, adoption,
domestic violence, restraining orders, and a host of other issues, including
modification of existing orders. By limiting my practice to family law, I
appear frequently in front of the same judges and keep apprised of the latest
developments in this rapidly changing body of law so as to give you the best
possible advice and service.
Generally speaking, however, it is often in everyone's best interests to
reach a disposition of your case without judicial intervention and without going
to court. Our courts have a tremendous workload, and while our judges are
dedicated and knowledgeable, no one can know the intimate facts of your case
better than you. Therefore, your best results may be obtained by me working on
your behalf with the other party. If negotiations fail, however, we proceed to
litigation.
