    If you’re looking for the best attorney in San Diego to fight your case, you need to hire Patrick Griffin asap. I was involved in a nightmare situation with an ex girlfriend and Griffin Law Office came to the rescue. When I ended the relationship with my ex and tried to move out she vandalized my property, changed the locks on the doors to our place (on moving day), and started fire selling my property/furniture online. I called the police to help me get my property back, and when they talked to my ex she lied to them about the entire situation. The police didn’t help me, they believed her and left. I felt hopeless, frustrated, and confused. I didn’t know what to do. I was referred to Griffin Law Office and I’m so grateful I found them. Patrick and Samantha (Paralegal) reassured me that what my ex was doing was illegal and we were going to get my property back. Patrick Griffin was professional, experienced, and caring. In the courtroom, he is an absolute beast! His performance at my court hearing was outstanding. He was able to get all of my property back! The judge ordered my ex to pay for the items she sold online, moving fees, and the property she vandalized.
    She also has to pay for my attorney fees. I am forever grateful for Patrick Griffin and Griffin Law office.
    I couldn't be happier with my experience! THANK YOU! I highly recommend them! And I really want to thank Samantha for her patience, hard work, and always keeping me updated with everything you’re amazing. Thank you again, I’m very happy and satisfied with the outcome

    A family member was fortunate enough to have Patrick represent him in a domestic violence case recently. I have to say this man is a force when he enters a courtroom, well prepared and extremely knowledgeable. I would never want to be across the table for him. The absolute best there is! Thank you Patrick
