The Law Office of Jaclyn D Patton

My husband and I contacted Jaclyn to set up our wills. It was a legal step I didn’t think we needed to take since we didn’t have kids, but after encouragement from a friend to look into estate planning now that my husband and I own a home and have several business investments, we decided to get in touch with Jaclyn and explore the best options. After speaking with Jaclyn, it was immediately apparent that I did not know the first thing about wills, probate or estate planning and needed professional help to get my husbands and my affairs in order! I was surprised that without a will if something happened to me, my husband would not automatically be deemed my beneficiary! Jaclyn was easy to work with responsive and got us all set up very quickly with executed docs. I really liked the fact that you know Jaclyn is the one working on your documents and you are getting a tailored and personalized experience. My husband and I have worked with other law offices on business related issues and have had our fair share of feeling like just another piece of paper in the stack. With Jaclyn, I knew a knowledgeable attorney was making sure we were taken care of. After having our wills executed with Jaclyn, we also contacted her to work on some business contracts for my husband’s business. Because of the unique nature of what we needed, Jaclyn took the time to sit with us and understand our operations and risks we were facing in our business and drafted a contract to cover us. We needed the contract in a rush and she accommodated and had a first draft to us the same day, understanding our need for urgency.
I would definitely recommend Jaclyn for any legal matters.

Jaclyn makes things that seem complicating easy to understand. She has done a wonderful job helping me and people I that have referred to her. I never have to feel uncomfortable sending people her way because she has always been professional, accommodating, and beyond capable.

A few months ago I began to take the first steps of opening my own retail boutique in Austin. I knew that I couldn’t set everything up on my own, and that I would need a lawyer to help me get through paperwork and filing the proper documents.
I asked a friend if he knew anyone who would be honest, up-​front, and trustworthy, and he referred Jaclyn as she had helped him get his consulting business set up. She was great at communicating with me via email and phone about what exactly needed to be taken care of, and she didn’t try to sell or charge me for services I didn’t need. She made the process very easy and took care of my registration and filings with Travis County and the state of Texas.
Jaclyn helped me get through the least exciting part of opening a small business and she was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Jaclyn for your business and personal legal needs!

After deciding to move back to Texas from a job in California, I knew that the first thing I wanted to do was clear up a small infraction on my criminal record from my younger and wilder days. After lots of internet research and frustration, I decided to call a lawyer. Having met Jaclyn at UT (go Horns!), I gave her a call.
I was terrified of court, the legal process and most of all spending lots of money on lawyers, but from our first phone conversation Jaclyn made me feel so much better! She took care of every step for me and kept me informed along the way, which really helped with my anxiety level. Within a few weeks, she had my issue resolved! She even managed to get my case resolved without a hearing, which other lawyers told me couldn’t be done. So I didn’t even have to come to court or pay her to travel to Fort Worth.
I would recommend going to her for any legal issue, even those outside of her usual practice areas (like mine was). She is a straight-​shooter and will give an honest opinion of your case.
