The Pate Law Firm, LLC

Mr. Page Pate nnI want to express my gratitude for all your hard work, dedication and energy that you devoted to my case. After almost three years of having been under investigation by Military and Federal Law Enforcement and having been charged by the Federal Prosecutor,and having contracted two lawyers I felt that their opinion and knowledge was not appropriated for my case and the outcome that they provide was no the best for my family and I so I decided to contact you, Mr. Page. after I explained to you my situation you start working very hard on my case. Being a military member I was facing federal charges and loosing my military career. Mr. Page I am grateful for your devotion to your work and honesty with which you always expressed yourself with the talk to you the truth even if the truth hurts. I was facing 10 to 16 months in a federal prison, after Mr. Page got me a plea deal, at the sentencing hearing your arguments and eloquence made it possible for me to get a ruling of one year probation and 40 hours community services. This was way below the sentencing guidelines of what my case called for. I thank God, you Mr. Page, and my family who supported me through out this ordeal.nnMr. Page, Thank You, for making it possible for me to be able to get my life back. My family and I, will be forever grateful for your efforts and due diligence that you devoted to my case.

I would like to express my gratitude to Page Pate for handling my case with so much care and effort. Out of three different lawyers he is the only one who could handle my case and help people understand me. He offered guidance to me in a way I could understand and helped opposites understand each other. Thank you, Mr. Pate, for being such a wonderful person and an excellent lawyer.

Page Pate and his partner Jess Johnson are top notch! Both are brilliant attorneys with incredible integrity. Page represented me in a successful 5 year long Whistleblower False Claims Act Case pertaining to a Customs Fraud scheme carried out by Bassett Mirror Company, Z Gallerie and Macys. I had contacted other Whistleblower attorneys in Birmingham and Nashville prior to finding him. Those firms were quick to boast about their Qui Tam knowledge and successes, then told me my case would be too difficult to try and chances would be slim that the DOJ would take the case. I do believe they wrote me off as a dumb blonde who didn't know what she was talking about.. Then I received a return phone call from Page Pate whom I had emailed just like the others with the details surrounding my claim. Despite his busy schedule and prestigious reputation as one of the best Federal Trial Lawyers in the US, he was unbelievably polite, respectful and took the time to listen, explain the process in it's entirety and answer any questions. Page saw the potential of my case where the others didn't. He and Jess worked very long hours preparing the claim, researching, making phone calls and attending meetings with me to assist the DOJ, Homeland, CBP, Commerce Department, IRS and various other agents. Page remained totally engaged with the government and myself throughout the 5 years it took the Government to settle with 2 of the 3 defendants for a total of $25M. Being a Whistleblower is not easy, especially while the case is under seal. It's an secret emotional rollercoaster ride and no one can know you bought a ticket to ride! Despite my own ups and downs, Page and Jess got me thru it and I never felt "abandoned" throughout the process. $4.3 Million Dollars later, I am still thanking God every day for Page Pate and Jess Johnson and their belief in me and their ability to make a $25M case out of what other expert Qui Tam attorneys saw as impossible.

My family cannot speak highly enough about Pate and Johnson Law Firm. This firm worked tirelessly for two years to represent my son who was innocent on all charges. Both Page and Jess treated my son, along with the rest of my family, with dignity and respect. They always prepared us with the court process, and gave us honest answers. They truly took an interest in his case and went to trial with the best defense. Thank you Page and Jess for working diligently on his case. I would refer your office to anyone in need of the best criminal defense!

Over a three year period Mr. Pate has successfully defended me of criminal charges related to drug trafficking which could have resulted in a long prison term and within the past month prevailed in a civil trial that could have resulted in the forfeiture of my airplane. Mr. Pate proved to the court that I was not guilty of the trafficking/conspiracy charges two years ago and earlier this month he won the civil trial. My plane will be returned after three years in forfeiture. During all of this time Mr. Pate was always accessible, always returned phone calls promptly and always kept us informed of the status of the case. We are not local to the Atlanta area and were unfamiliar with the legal community. We feel extremely fortunate to have worked so quickly and chosen so wisely in obtaining representation. We interviewed several attorneys who were recommended but knew very early in the process that Mr. Pate would have my best interests and believe in my innocence. His intelligence was reassuring and his compassion comforting to our entire family. Our sincere thanks to Page and his staff, we highly recommend him should you find yourself in an unfortunate circumstance as we did.
