Law Office of Patricia H. Combs, P.C.

I choose Patricia Combs as my family lawyer in Manhattan Beach, California after doing extensive research. She has been there for me during my divorce, which took almost two years. She is dedicated, smart, trustworthy and caring. While you can find many lawyers in Los Angeles county who do a great job, Patricia is someone you want by your side at court. Thank you for your professionalism and kindness.

Terrible attorney, she will steal your money, put in zero work on your case, forget who you are after already meeting with you and discussing the contents of your case. She can be found at her office in pjs and halfway awake as though she’d just woken from a nap. When you walk inside her office it’s obvious that rather than using that office to work she is using it as an opportunity to catch up on Netflix. She cannot remember or retain any and all information about your case you’ve shared with her repeatedly. She’ll ask you to stay up late to review the declaration she didn’t even bother writing herself but simple needed to review and make edit but more importantly file in a timely manner so it’s is considered yet she is incapable of even that. She has no technological skills and is completely incapable of operating a computer or even her phone and will waste hrs of your time on the phone trying to explain to her how a computer works. She will completely abandon you and your case after the first hearing, which she’ll talk to you in the courtroom while a hearing is in progress and have you kicked out before your case is even heard. And once you fire her for her incompetence she will appease your request for a partial refund, yet boldly state she does not have it to return, blatantly admitting to the misuse of your client fund, of which she will never actually or accurately send you, as she is not in fact doing any work on it, eventually weeks after she’s been fired and already agreed to reimburse you, she will not return your money or reply to your calls, but simply send you an email with a bill for 4,500$ worth of allegedly work she did not in fact do. Terrible attorney, who is not ethically practicing law and it is clear she is stuggling with memory loss, and clearly has medical issues, and should have retired quite some time ago. Save yourself the money and hire a competent attorney who won’t do the very least and take your money and run. I mean honestly I was concerned if your would even show up at the hearing due to a lack of communication and responsiveness to emails of phone calls. Truly unbelievable that individuals like Patricia practice law and have somehow decided the CA bar association of the moral ethicesy it takes to be a lawyer, especially one who deals with the extreme sensitive matters in family law, to take advantage of her own clients in already difficult predicament, shows you the type of person your dealing with. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY, a waste of time and money.
