“It was always my dream to start my own business. I’d been successful in my career, had what I thought was an amazing idea and the beginnings of a business plan, but didn’t know the best place to start.

Patty helped me formulate the idea, perform a market study, create both a business and marketing plan and I’m off and running. Patty has an amazing but realistic entrepreneurial mindset as well as inherent pragmatism. I highly recommend working with her.”

“When going through a divorce, things can spin out of your control quickly. My divorce was in mediation for 3 ½ years with no end in sight. There were very expensive lawyers having lots of meetings, bringing in consultants for many things — ultimately much of it not even useful — and the only people benefitting were the lawyers and consultants they hired.

My time was spent being placated by my attorney telling me it was ‘the process,’ wondering what I was getting billed for and not getting actual counsel on basic things I really should have been thinking about. I had come to the conclusion that the only useful advice I was getting was from friends and their ‘war stories’ of divorce.

It was a complete mess. The lawyers had all become comfortable in this never-ending process and no one was ‘winning.’ Meanwhile, the emotional toll on everyone was immense; I was exhausted from the process and had almost given up seeing a possibility for an end in sight. Then I hired Patty.

Patty, being an attorney, knows exactly how the litigation process works and how to get attorneys organized to finish. She is a complete reset and respectfully pushes everyone in the right direction. Think of it like having the most determined head coach. She is strategic, looks at divorce and settlements from every angle, gets the right people involved, stops the meter on the unnecessary consultants and only organizes purposeful meetings that result in actions and deadlines for everyone involved. She was brilliant at helping me to set financial and other goals for my children and me. She facilitated financial planning so I had people to consult that were independent from my lawyers — people who would be on my team long after the divorce papers were signed.

There were no more unnecessary meetings to talk about things for the next meeting. Everything she does is focused on strategy and getting it done. At a very emotional time, she was honestly the only rational voice in the room and was willing to do the hard stuff to get it done.”

“I wish I could shout it from the rooftops! Patty Comeford was the shining star that ended my divorce case!

I went through a very contentious divorce. I was a stay-at-home wife and mom for 30 years. My world came crashing down when my husband left me for my best friend.

I was so angry and bitter. I hired the best family law attorney in Newport Beach, California. I would visit his office and admire his Ivy League degrees hanging on his wall. My ex-husband followed suit and hired his own high-powered attorneys in Newport Beach.

We would have our lawyers write letters back and forth regarding who would pay the toll road bill for $93. We also battled that his name was still on my car registration. I spent $22,000 to my lawyer to play email ping pong with my ex’s attorneys as to who would pay for my golden retrievers, my ACL operation, etc. My credit cards along with my attorney’s invoices were going up exponentially every month.

These are just a few examples of the benign, dumb ways I blew my money to the chagrin of the lawyers involved. When you are in such a dark scary place, you just want to ‘WIN’ on small matters that mean nothing!

My wonderful friend Dr. Beth told me about Patty. From our first telephone meeting, I felt like I had a true advocate on my side. She is compassionate, a great listener and she is sharp as a tack. She did not hold back when she thought I was being unreasonable. She was the only one I really listened to. I really respected her.

I was astonished how she handled my attorney when we were on a conference call. SHE came up with out-of-the-box ideas for how to end this three-year battle with a compromise that was fair to me.

An added benefit that I quickly noticed was my attorney seemed sharper and more aggressive on my behalf because of Patty. She would tactfully follow up with him and ask the why and how questions that were proposed to us from the other side.

She is solely responsible for shutting the circus down and saving me thousands and thousands of dollars!”

“I’d been ‘successful’ for many years and from all appearances had it all. Yet, I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling of ‘Is this all there is?’ I began questioning everything: my job, my marriage, my friendships, my beliefs and past choices. Frankly, it was a nightmare. I was stuck!

After speaking with Patty, I made an investment in myself to work with The Comeford Group for six months. I cannot adequately express how life-changing doing so was for me. My long-held, outdated beliefs that no longer served me and limitations were busted apart and overcome. New, more productive belief systems were consciously created resulting in not just change for change’s sake, but meaningful change. Unlike other coaches, it wasn’t about throwing away my marriage or my career ‘because they weren’t making me happy,’ but rather standing in my own power to create the results I’d dreamed of.“
