“This is the real deal”- Yelp reviewer

One yelp reviewer stated the following:  “A named partner, Michael Lonich, contacted me directly, made an appointment to meet in a very reasonable day soon.  The office was all you’d want to find, reception was kind and welcoming, and Mr. Lonich shared his time (more than 30 min w/o complaint), his experience, and expertise openly with me. He listened attentively to all I had to say (no matter how inane it may have appeared to him), and treated me as if my thoughts and concerns and I were the most important things he had to do that morning.  All in all, my experience and the advice/results were high-end, kind, and expert; everything one imagines the perfect law firm to be. I don’t mean to sound superfluous or silly, but this is simply how it was. This is the real deal, with heart.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

David Patton is a family law specialist and partner at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri. David is an experienced trial attorney with over 22 years of experience. He co-founded the firm’s family law practice and has become one of Silicon Valley’s top family lawyers.

David has represented clients in difficult and complex cases, all while treating his clients with kindness and compassion. He recognizes that these times are some of the most overwhelming and difficult for families, and that is why he works hard and diligently to obtain favorable results.

As one AVVO client reviewer stated: “David (and his partner Mike Lonich) were genuinely interested and invested in my case. They were not solely focused on billable hours, but truly wanted to see a fair and just outcome. That sort of personal commitment went a long way toward making the whole experience, if not enjoyable, at least less miserable. I just wish I had David as my attorney when my divorce first started. I would highly recommend David Patton and his firm to anyone needing competent representation in matters of family law. “

Accordingly, he endeavors to offer his clients his valuable experience, counsel and advice in not only the many complicated legal issues they face, but also the short term and long term impacts of their decisions on their families.

One AVVO reviewer stated the following: “If you are looking for an elite, top of the class family lawyer, try Mitchell Ehrlich in Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri San Jose. My husband hired one of the most aggressive law firms and kidnapped our daughter to start a divorce. Most lawyers didn’t want to deal w/ that notoriously aggressive law firm. Mitch was not intimidated by them at all . . . I’m forever grateful for Mitch getting the justice done. Mitch seems to also have a strong network in the legal community in Santa Clara County and is familiar w/ other lawyers and judges. He is well known for his knowledge in family law and even his opponent called him an “excellent family lawyer.”

David Patton Secures Primary Custody & Move Away Order in Hotly Contested Child Custody Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following a lengthy trial, the Santa Clara County Family Court ruled in favor of Mr. Patton’s client, awarding full custody of the children to the mother and giving her the right to move to another state with the children.

Father in this case sought 100% custody of the children and wanted to prevent Mother from taking the children to another state.

The court found that using the “best interests” standard followed in California for initial custody determinations, Mother should be awarded full custody and be permitted to move out of state with the children. The custody battle included allegations of domestic violence and inappropriate physical punishment of one of the children. The court took testimony from a court appointed expert, who had completed a custody evaluation involving both parents and the children, as well as testimony from experts hired by Father.

Upon considering all the evidence presented, the court found Mr. Patton’s evidence and arguments to be persuasive and granted Mother the right to move away with the children to another state.

Mr. Patton is a Certified Family Law Specialist as certified by The State Bar of California Board of  Legal Specialization and limits his practice exclusively to family law (divorce, child custody, domestic violence, restraining orders, spousal support, etc.). His certification is provided by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.
