She pushed us to think about both our short-term and long-term needs and the legal implications of our business. The biggest results that we experienced were talking with a legal professional that understands what is important to creative businesses and receiving small business support beyond “legal services”. Not all lawyers are the same; Patrice is patient and genuinely vested in suppor… Read more

I hired Patrice to help me through a sticky legal situation as well as to help me setup my current business. She has been phenomenal in every way possible! Knowledgable, professional and on the cutting edge of technology, I couldn’t be more satisfied with our relationship and look forward to continuing work with Patrice for the duration of my business career.

I had the pleasure of hearing Patrice give her professional opinion during a live Mentor Monday session with matchmaker expert Paul C. Brunson. Offering practical business tips and legal advice that was helpful, she prides herself on motivating risk takers and dreamers! What I enjoyed most about listening to Ms. Perkins is that she was not only encouraging but most of all a professional!

Patrice exhibits a thoroughness that is not easy to come by. Her attention to detail and ability to research the facts makes me feel more confident in having her as my attorney. Promptness, creativity and professionalism are just a few of her traits that makes working with her a joy.

From day one Patrice showed as much interest in my venture, The Genius Syndicate (a learning-inspired lifestyle brand for kids), than I’d se… Read more

Patrice has served as my attorney since late last year. As a new business owner, Patrice literally walked me through the steps of properly organizing the legal side of my enterprise, as well as preparing contracts and protecting my brand and blog. I highly recommend her to creative entrepreneurs like myself who are ready to take their businesses to the next level. You cannot afford to miss out on her services.

Simply put: Patrice is a GREAT attorney for creative entrepreneurs! I’ve already had my initial consultation. She put all of my business plans into one fantastic package…in one hour. And I’m very excited about getting started. Recently, I attended the Chicago Artists’ Coalition’s 20/20 Legal workshop. Patrice’s “10 Quick + Dirty Legal Tips for Creative Entrepreneurs: Negotiating Contracts, Intellectual Property and a Little Social Media in Between” presentation was phenomenal. I love how she s… Read more

I was initially impressed with Ms. Perkins’s enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when I attended a workshop held at the Creative Chicago Expo. During the workshop, she consistently demonstrated all of these qualities and more. Of particular value to me as an entrepreneur, I learned valuable information that would assist me in the future. Patrice is organized and diligent with the task at hand. I heartily endorse her for any legal workshops or as an attorney for entrepreneu… Read more
