Attorney Patricia Tichenor (Trish) effectively used technology to expeditiously prepare our estate planning documents after we recently moved to Virginia. She patiently explained the documents and options in the context of VA law and our goal to minimize probate hassles and expenses for our heirs. Trish was a great fit for us because we preferred to review and exchange documents online and meet via conference call. We only made one short visit to her office to sign documents.

When I decided to find an attorney to draw up my will, I really didn’t know how to go about choosing. So, I looked online. When I found Atty Tichenor’s website and read “A comfy sofa and thoughtful listener will be here for you”, that resonated with me and I reached out. Her response was quick and she took the time to explain what I needed. She patiently listened to and answered all my questions, making me feel like I was her only client. (She also explained that she would be available for questions my executors might have after I pass. That, for me, is important. I didn’t want the execution of my will to be a burden.) I am thrilled that I decided to work with Atty Tichenor. I now have the peace of mind I was looking for. For those who are unsure of where to start, I highly recommend calling Tichenor law offices.

We recently moved to Virginia and were told by our accountant that we needed new wills. After a google search in the area and interviews with a couple of potential lawyers, we chose attorney Tichenor (“Trish”). She made us feel comfortable when initially speaking to her by phone. Then she came to our house for the initial consultation. Trish spoke to us in a clear, concise manner, answering all of our questions and explaining the legalese in layman’s terms. She was easy to contact and got back to us quickly to answer any further questions. Unlike other lawyers who were pushing their ‘all inclusive package’, Trish gave us just what we needed.

He was spot-on, Patricia was all and more than he said she would be.

In our mid-seventies, my husband and decided it was high time we got our affairs in order. We found Patricia on the internet, read the reviews and contacted her with our needs for wills, powers of attorney, living will etc. She was very responsive and though she was out of town, we telecommunicated with her regarding our wishes. She came back quickly with draft documents that required only minor changes that expressed our wishes plus her expert legal advice. We finally got to meet her when we went to sign the documents. We have peace of mind along with the gratitude of our daughters. I can highly recommend Patricia for her thoroughness in helping us through this process. I would not hesitate to call her again if needs arise and would highly recommend her!

Life can bring many changes such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child or all of the above just to name a few. I had previously worked with Patricia Tichenor on a will and wouldn’t you know life brought some changes which required me to update my estate planning. Patricia was able to work with me right from many of my previous documents and thoroughly and simply described the changes required that were most beneficial to me and my family. She was quick to provide updates to documents and was very flexible when scheduling meetings whether they be on the phone or in person. Overall, the process was hassle free and most importantly gave me peace of mind. I cannot recommend working with Patricia enough for any estate planning needs.

Patricia worked with us to draft our various estate planning documents and did an excellent job in doing so. She is extremely detail oriented and knowledgeable. She is also very flexible, often making herself available for evening and weekend conference calls. It was very convenient to do business with Patricia as we were able to do all of our information exchanges over the phone and via email with a final signing in person. Patricia is also very timely in her responses; we would have an answer to any question we might have had within a couple of hours of our initial email or phone call.

We very much appreciated Patricia’s style of doing business and her thoroughness. We have worked with her in the past and will do so again in the future.

Thank you!

It’s with GREAT PLEASURE that I write this review. Contemplating divorce was not easy and thinking about which lawyer to hire was another daunting task. I am thankful to a dear friend and renowned corporate attorney (Michael Horwatt) who recommended Patricia. From the minute I spoke to her I knew I wanted her to represent me. Patricia’s experience spoke volumes and her focus was on what mattered the most, myself and my children, and getting custody and support to protect us. Patricia has been there by my side in this long drawn out divorce of mine that has taken 7 years supporting me through this difficult process on how I wanted this case handled respecting my situation.There has been lot of back and forth over the years and she was always there and available. I am eternally grateful for having Patricia who has worked hard and diligently on my behalf.
I am very grateful I found the best divorce attorney Patricia Tichenor. Truly professional, considerate, understanding, and just brilliant. Patricia’s legal expertise is truly commendable and anyone who takes the opportunity to speak to her will recognize that instantly. I have referred others to Patricia in the recent past and will continue to do so. Those who have met with her all shared with me how impressed they were with her legal expertise as well on how quickly she was able to handle their legal matters.

I met Trish about 10 years ago for an estate planning consultation. At my initial visit I didn’t know the documents I would need, all I wanted, was to be sure my family would be protected if I experienced any major life events. Trish was amazing, she explained everything thoroughly to me. Trish is very knowledgeable about estate planning, she has a forward thinking approach, keeps her word and has always over delivered in her services. She made the planning process very simple and easy and as a result I have continued to use her Estate planning services to update my documents over the years.

We found Ms. Tichenor when we were interested in Estate Planning after the birth of our child. She was so down to earth, accommodating, empathetic because of the nature of work, and extremely professional. We are highly impressed with the work Trish has done for us and the speed at which she accomplished the work (which fit our aggressive timeline). We highly recommend her for Estate Planning and will be using her again in the future.

Trish’s work was professional, complete, on time and the cost was reasonable and fair.

I had been looking for a reasonably priced but a good attorney for our will for last couple of years. We found what we had been looking for. Trish is a good attorney without any questions – she has vast knowledge and wide experience in will. She had explained us all the clauses in details and presented us the options. We felt very comfortable talking to her about personal matters. I have nothing but all the praises for her. I wish her the best and looking forward to contact her if we need any legal assistance.

My wife died intestate and this created a number of problems for me. Trish came to my rescue and bailed me out. If you have need of probate or estate help for your issues, i doubt if you could find any better attorney. don’t even think of using anyone else. Patricia Tichenor is an outstanding lawyer and even more outstanding person. And she loves dogs !

Excellent, Professional and Knowledgeable I would recommend Trish to anyone that were in need of a great attorney. She helped me with my Will and Estate Planning at a time when I needed to get things done quickly and professionally. She was very patient and explained everything to me. She did an excellent job and I was very pleased.

Patricia was referred to me by an attorney I had used for several things in the past, but had retired. I needed help as the executor of an estate to execute my responsibilities and help me get through probate in two states. To that end, Patricia was very knowledgeable, helpful, and provided incite only a very experienced attorney in probate law could. Patricia was also very reasonable in her rate per hour and billing too. I would highly recommend Patricia and am going to use her in the future for other legal needs.

I highly recommend Ms Tichenor and her firm. I used them for estate planning. From the first meeting through the final signing, the entire team was both professional and efficient.

I’ve used Trish for estate purposes (wills, powers of attorney) for about 11 years now. I have always found her to be professional, efficient, and knowledgeable in those areas. She’s helped me understand the nuance of certain aspects of the related law, which resulted in documents tailored to my personal situation. I highly recommend Ms. Tichenor for legal services.

Patricia Tichenor provided our family with excellent advice and documentation to meet our estate planning needs. I had many questions and unique needs and she thoroughly addressed them all. Everything was explained in detail and delivered on time. I will definitely continue to use her services as my needs and circumstances change.

We have used Patricia Tichenor, PLLC twice to help us complete our estate planning process by providing us with legal advice and then drawing up wills for my husband and myself. Both times she was very thorough and answered all questions we had. The first will was when our children were minors so she helped us make sure everything was set up that they would be well taken care of if something were to happen to my husband and myself. The second time she helped us update the will to reflect the changes we wanted as all our children are now over 21. This updated included a special trust for one child. We will no doubt be back to see her again in another 5 years to update our wills once again. We highly recommend this office.

Approximately a year and a half ago I was in need of an attorney during one of the most difficult times of my life. Patricia was recommended to me by a family friend, advising me that she was one of the most thorough attorneys she knew. I hired Patricia to handle the probate process created by my wife’s passing and additionally to create a trust for my children, should anything happen to me. Patricia’s personal service, attention to detail, legal professionalism and genuine desire for ensuring the desired outcome was met, made a very difficult time in my life much easier. I have recommended Trish to my own family members in need of an attorney and would encourage anyone in need of legal counsel to contact her as well. She has become a trusted friend to our family, as I am sure she will for yours.

My husband and I met with Patricia to discuss and implement estate planning. Neither of us knew much about the process. Patricia took the time to clearly explain the process and made sound suggestions/recommendations. Patricia and her staff are so helpful, accommodating and efficient, we highly recommend Patricia!

Patricia helped me update my will. She was very professional, explained everything to me in a easy to understand manner and left me feeling great about my estate and my children’s future.

Highly recommend Ms. Tichenor. She is professional, thoughtful, and kind.

Excellent work on my estate planning

I met Patricia 13 years ago when she prepared my first Will and Estate documents. Since then, it was time to update it. Patricia was very professional, explained the latest Will and Estate information since my first Will was prepared, and other details. My Will was prepared in a few weeks and matches my desired intentions for my Estate and property. Thank you Patricia.

Recently, my wife and I needed to have our wills updated. Patricia’s expertise in both Estate Planning and Family Law was important since we also needed to have a trust set up for a family member. Patricia was both knowledgeable and professional. We consider ourselves lucky to have found her.

We found the staff at the Law Office of Patricia E. Tichenor to be very knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend them for Estate Planning and related services.

When you hire Ms. Tichenor you can be confident you hired the smartest person in the room. Her work with us was always thorough and timely. An additional plus is that she is a pleasure to work with.

Very professional. Patricia took the time to fully explain the differences of a will vs. trust to update our estate plan. She and her staff were very flexible and accommodating and walked us through the process every step of the way.

Patricia Tichenor prepared my wife’s and my estate documents. She is extremely knowledgeable of multiple facets of law and we found her very friendly and flexible. Ms. Tichenor was very responsive including on weekends. There were several documents and all were done very well in a short amount of time. I have referred her to my family and friends and we will continue to use her firm for our future legal needs.

Trish was amazing! We came to her with a very personal and emotional service… my 24 year old son wanting to surprise my husband on his birthday with adoption papers! Even though my son was in CA, Trish was able to coordinate and make it happen! We would highly recommend Trish and her team to anyone with family law needs!

I personally recommend this law firm. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and very friendly Always keep you updated with progress of the case.

My husband and I went to see Patricia Tichenor regarding our wills and estate planning. We were leaving to go to Europe and had no legal documents regarding our financials. Patricia was great, very easy to talk with, caring and professional. She explained the legalities and gave us an advice on how to structure our wills. My will, especially, was very complicated and long. I had to make provisions for my “special needs” daughter; Patricia incorporated this into the will which gave me a peace of mind. The documents were done quickly and efficiently. Camellia who was also wonderful, handled all the forms and prepared drafts for our review. Drafts were sent by e-mails, and Patricia and I went over each paragraph by phone. Patricia was patient and took her time to explain the language of the will. I had tons of questions, and she was able to address everyone. She also made very practical suggestions regarding long term health plans, and even touched up on pet’s issues and insurance. We will always consider Patricia “our attorney”. She has helped my husband before with some other legal issues, and had always been compassionate, kind and caring. She handles everything with ease and humor. She can be very funny and will make you laugh! She is a good spirit, a wise woman and an excellent attorney. Thank you for your diligence and your kindness.

Patricia Tichenor has provided a complete range of legal services to me including will preparation, divorce filing, real estate documents and more. I have complete trust in her legal guidance and her client service is outstanding.

Caring, knowledgeable and efficient!

Consider this an “orchid” experience. Attorney Tichenor previously helped me with a probate problem which was successfully concluded. When I needed a will and accompanying documents I asked for her assistance. From our first meeting to signing of all documents yesterday she was thorough, diligent, professional and punctual. I also very much appreciated her guidance on care of my dog. Nice that her office is nearby. She did offer house calls. Happy to recommend her office.

When you are in need of a lawyer, reasons aren’t usually good. You are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, understanding, patient, and listens to the concerns you have. That is the experience I have had. The Law Office Of Patricia E. Tichenor, are all of those things and more. I have been lucky enough to work directly with Ms. Tichenor in my case, but have also had experience with her associate as well. In each case, they were knowledgeable, understanding, and patient.

From the first meeting to the last, I have been impressed with all that they do and thankful for the services they have personally provided for me.

I went to see Ms Tichenor with my 80 year old mother who had not updated her will or estate planning documents in two decades. I was nervous how my mother would react to a lawyer and dealing with the issues we were facing. Patricia was fantastic. She was patient and explained the legal issues to Mom in a easy and considerate manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with aging parents who have no or outdated wills and related legal documents. It has helped my family move forward with dealing with my mother’s aging without the stress of worrying about her estate and financial concerns. My mother is also relieved to know things are in order and that her wishes are clearly known with her new will. Ms. Tichenor pointed out several things that we hadn’t thought of and gave us great advice which was incorporated into the legal documents that she produced.

Great advice, smooth, easy to follow process, quick turn delivery and fair price. Just what we wanted! Trish gave excellent, thoughtful advice to us based on our needs and desires. Her process is designed to streamline communication and delivery. Excellent experience and finished product!

I am very satisfied with getting my business done in a timely manor and also getting the advice that I needed to move forward. I was reminded of things that would be helpful to me. I appreciate everyone’s professionalism it really made me comfortable. I would use them again for other matters in the future.

With a short time window to complete our estate planning, we were SO please with the efforts to meet our deadline and NEVER compromising the quality of the documents or the service we received. We were so impressed by the knowledge, down-to-earth-quality and efficiency!

We had a good experience.

My mother and I recently went to this practice to have a new will for my mother drawn up. This office and all their staff to very courteous and professional in the handling of this.

Special Needs Trust I gave Patricia Tichenor a 5-star rating when I sent in my first review. For some reason it only showed up with 1-star. Trish helped me set up a Special Needs Trust for my grandson with autism. Without her help I never would have been able to get through all the legal mumbo-jumbo necessary to set everything up. I would highly recommend her for trusts and will which she helped me with.

Trish helped me through the impossible task of setting up a Special Needs Trust for my grandson who has autism. I couldn’t have set this up on my own as it is impossibly complex. I am no longer concerned about his future as he will be taken care of when I am no longer here.

I depend upon this law practice for all my legal needs. Patricia Tichenor and her staff are outstanding performers!

Patricia did a great job with my family law issues. Highly recommend her.

Patricia has helped me with several spousal support and child support matters over the last four years and I am totally satisfied with the service I have received. Her understanding of the legal matters being dealt with and her sense of confidence put my mind at ease right away. My requests were efficiently and quickly taken care of, without wasting any time or drawing out the process, thereby costing me more. I would highly recommend the firm to any one needing family law assistance.

In 2013, my attorney was out of country and referred me to Patricia when I needed help. She was of great help with my divorce process in Loudoun County. Patricia helped me through the entire process. I would recommend her with full stars. My ex spouse bullied me with her attorneys (sevila saunders I think), and from the moment I retained Patricia she took control of situation right away. She is the best!

Very friendly and responsive to your questions and needs!!! Great accommodating schedules and deadlines!

We loved our experience with Patricia’s Office and Staff. Everyone was truly helpful and very accommodating. We actually thought the process of our Wills would be a very hard assignment. Meeting with them ahead of time and going over initially the language and certain items that we should address was so helpful to us and helped us make the best decisions. It was a relatively easy process and I am very thrilled to have this done now. It gives me a sense of comfort. Also, the fact that we can call Patricia’s office anytime with further questions. They are so extremely helpful and I recommend them to my friends.

I used this office for my divorce. My experience with this office was very good. They were very knowledgeable and always professional. I would highly recommend them.

After years of having my husband’s ex wife steam roll us through the court system we found Ms. Tichenor. Our life is so much better because of her. She is attentive to what you need, very knowledgeable of the law, aggressive where it counts, and more “on top” of things then any lawyer I have ever seen. We recently had a miscommunication with the child support agency and immediately called her again for help. The issue was resolved in 24 hours! Ms. Tichenor always will receive the highest recommendation from our family.

I would highly recommend their services, they helped prepare my estate in the event of my demise. They also prepared the necessary documents to complete my wife’s estate after her passing, both with outstanding results.
