Alex DeMarco is going to get himself disbarred if he continues to behave in the unethical manner I…read morewitnessed. He doesn't understand family law, quite obviously, and broke several procedural court rules including attempting to litigate my case outside of a hearing and trials, which did nothing but irritate the judge. He also routinely missed court mandated deadlines using lame excuses like "I didn't have any internet" "I was on the road on another case" and so forth. I could go on and on about his erratic and unethical behavior, it was pretty non-stop from beginning to end. There's a reason he's cheap and it's not worth even that much money.

Alex Demarco was recommended to me by a friend that attended the same university as he. After our…read moreinitial phone call and subsequent meeting,  I felt confident that he was the right attorney for me. Receiving the contract with the wrong client name and agreement terms, should have been my first clue that although Alex says (and quite possibly believes) all the right things, his attention to detail and ability to deliver falls short. Over the course of 7 months, my experience with Alex was wrought with one excuse after another. Here are just a few...("My sister-in-law is in the hospital." "You've caught me at a pretty horrible part if life at the moment." "Sorry, I was so sleep-deprived from jury trial." "Understand i have a murder case that's absolutely occupying my time here.") Initially,  I was sympathetic to his plight.  But eventually,  I came to the point where I just wanted my lawyer to represent ME (his client, who incidentally paid in full upfront). That, and his adventurous Facebook posts didn't seem to jive with the excuses he was giving me. In the end, it took Alex 7 months to obtain a simple video from campus pd, and that took me riding him the entire time. Although incomplete evidence was eventually supplied to him, Alex neither questioned/followed up it, nor did  he return any of my attempts to contact him further. I regret 100% my decision to hire him. Given my personal experience,  I'd recommend steering clear.

I have paid Travis close to 6 grand for criminal charges that have been redundant from the courts…read morefor violation of harassment restraining orders. Travis was not a great advocate and did not make me feel comfortable with him as my representative. He painted his own character of me and treated me as guilty throughout the whole process, and everything he told me has not been factual. He has gotten mad when I asked relevant questions and has used the 'I've been busy with trial' excuse multiple times when consulting about my case. He's very microaggressive and will do anything to make sure he proves his point if you question his advocacy as your lawyer. We have now reached a mutual agreement for him no longer to represent me after he rudely hung up the phone on me because he thought I was trying to blame him for something I already pleaded guilty to and have taken full accountability for. Definitely look further than Travis if you want advocacy that treats you like a human rather than a criminal throughout your whole case.

I was the opposing party in a Dakota County family-court matter in which Clarence Patterson III…read morerepresented the other side. He never represented me. This review concerns my direct experience with his courtroom advocacy and written positions. I understand that attorneys must advocate firmly for their clients. But in family court, words can alter a person's life before disputed facts are fully examined. At an August 28, 2025 hearing, the transcript records Mr. Patterson saying that I "love to talk about guns," that my "relationship with guns is concerning," warning that people could be "caught in the crossfire," and later portraying me as someone who "needs a gun to solve his problems." I stated on the record that I hated guns, had never owned one, and would never have one. I found it profoundly disturbing to be portrayed through repeated gun-related language when I was expressly denying any interest in owning a firearm. The same transcript records Mr. Patterson referring to "his bipolar disorder" while denying my concern that mental-health labeling was being used against me. I experienced the combined gun and mental-health framing as stigmatizing and dehumanizing--an effort to turn disputed allegations into a frightening portrait of an armed and mentally unstable person. A separate and extremely serious discrepancy involved Dakota County Crisis. A sworn filing in the case stated that a crisis-team member had contacted counsel and that the entire office had been alerted about me. A Dakota County Crisis supervisor later wrote that she had searched the system and consulted with colleague supervisors, found no record or recollection of such an alert, found no documentation of a duty-to-warn event, and stated that the team does not communicate directly with attorneys. In my view, a discrepancy involving a claimed government warning was too consequential to be left unresolved. It deserved a prompt, transparent, and documented explanation. Mr. Patterson also asked the court not to consider approximately fifty exhibits because he said he had not received them. I am not claiming in this review that the service objection itself constituted misconduct. I am describing the consequence as I experienced it: severe allegations were presented while a substantial body of my responsive evidence was not considered at that hearing. The matter ultimately resolved by stipulation before the scheduled evidentiary hearing. The most severe characterizations were therefore not adjudicated through that scheduled hearing. The litigation nevertheless caused profound personal, financial, and reputational harm. I found Mr. Patterson's approach unnecessarily escalatory, stigmatizing, and damaging. I would not recommend him. Strong advocacy does not require turning another human being into a caricature of mental illness and violence. Family-law attorneys exercise enormous power, and that power should be matched by factual precision, restraint, professional judgment, and accountability.
