PATRICK A. McCALL
Certified Family Law Specialist * The name Patrick A. McCall is synonymous with family law. Mr. McCall is a regular radio talk show personality on KIEV 870 AM and has also been featured on at least three separate occasions in Orange Coast Magazine as one of the best lawyers in Orange County. He will be again featured in Orange Coast Magazines Special Edition 2000. In addition, Mr. McCall has appeared on television and was an adjunct law professor for over 12 years. Mr. McCall continues to provide superior service as a Certified Family Law Specialist. With an endless string of successful cases, he is well aware that the secret to building trust and confidence with his clientele is dependent upon a high level of patience, years of experience, and above all, an explicit understanding of the law. When it comes to the effort he puts into each case, Mr. McCall's abilities are quiet evident. "One thing I do in every single case is to strategize from the beginning and keep clients fully aware of their options," says Mr. McCall. "I also guarantee to each client that I'll work hard for them and be aggressive as possible." Without doubt, Mr. McCall is a well-seasoned family law specialist. He has been in practice since 1983, and while he approaches his clients' personal needs with understanding and assurance, and addresses their legal concerns with honesty and integrity, it is his responsible and assertive handling of their cases that yields a favorable outcome. Being a family law expert, and one of only 982 Certified Family Law Specialists in a population of over 145,000 attorneys throughout California, Mr. McCall has successfully tried hundreds of cases in all areas of family law including child custody, support, property, paternity, and other related matters. "I know the law and the court room procedure extremely well-unlike many attorneys who think they have the ability to shoot from the hip," comments Mr. McCall. "Many attorneys who are not specialists are often arrive in court unprepared." On the contrary, Mr. McCall takes pride in representing his clients. He structures the handling of each case by accounting for the basic principals that directly influence the outcome. Such a system includes having a working knowledge of the facts, law, judge, and the abilities of his adversary. Also, according to Mr. McCall, one factor that should never be overlooked in examining and understanding the overall posture of those involved. As he states, "In any successful conclusion of a case, an analysis and anticipation of the parties, attitudes, and expectations must be considered. Certainly the cost, complexity, and the time the case stays in the legal system are predicated on what the parties are trying to accomplish." Mr. McCall's legal experience and personal compassion for others have also extended beyond the courtroom. He has been extremely active in the area of domestic violence and legal education. Also, as a commercial pilot and an owner of a complex aircraft, Mr. McCall continues to handle complex cases throughout the state. In addition to Mr. McCall being a radio personality, he is a frequent lecturer to other attorneys in all areas of family law including enforcement, taxes, and procedure. Mr. McCall has also represented many notable people and celebrities. One of the more recent notable clients in Orange County was the duped fiance, of the infamous Mr. DeCrevecour ("heart breaker" in French), commonly referred to as "Lord Peter the Cheater" in all of the major news medias. Mr. McCall's client became pregnant before she learned that Mr. DeCrevecour had deceived several other ladies in England and the United States and that he had an extensive rap sheet. In the office, Mr. McCall comes across as very personable and relaxed; however, don't let this fool you. Wait until you see him in Court!
