"You know, I think if you were to ask every single CEO that has ever worked with Patrick Rettig, they will tell you the same thing. When Pat enters into your life, it is at that precise moment that you are heading into catastrophic (business) failure, whether you know it or not. So for me, I actually didn't know that it was gonna be happening in a matter of months. Uh, but I was at a point in my business where I just was, just felt at a standstill. I just felt like I couldn't push it forward to get it more successful and all. And I was at the end of a 30-year marriage, I was exhausted and feeling hopeless. And so out of that desperation, I, out of 25 years of being an atheist, started to pray and within one month, Pat showed up in a very unusual way, so that was the beginning. You know, in our lifetime, it's rare to find a true, authentically. And Patrick is one, he has no agenda other than working on business turnaround, keeping your company and yourself, your family healthy period. And he is not a nine-to-five, he's a 24 7. I mean, for the 13 years that I've worked with him, he's always been there when I needed him. And he is fun. He's very, you know, he is serious. He's, you know, he pushes you. I mean, it's not that it's easy, but it's, it's also, it's also really fun the whole process. It's like, it's like the most amazing business school that you can be in. And you get to like, use it all immediately, and then you can clearly see as you're working, you know, when you're doing the things right, you see the yield. When you fall off, you see, you know, that, that yield. So, uh, it's pretty incredible."

"I was desperate, uh, looking for help. Uh, I go literally Googled bankruptcy, chapter 11 attorneys. Uh, I met with an attorney who said he'd give me a free consultation, and he said, well, I can't help you. You need to call this guy.
He handed me the phone number of another attorney. He says, I don't even know if he's still around, but call this guy. So I called this guy up. His name was Steve Fox, and I met with Steve he said, "you need somebody to guide you through this (business turnaround)..." He says, here, Patrick Rettig. So I got in my truck after meeting with Steve. I called Patrick and he said, okay, we need a 30-year relationship in 30 minutes, start talking.
I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without the influence of the Rettig Corp. I was desperate. I knew I needed help. I know I needed, uh, somebody to help me. I can build anything. You gimme a set of plans, and I can build it, but I know it was lacking on the business finance management side and keeping things in order and keeping an eye on everything that needs to be kept an eye on in the business.
And what, uh, the Rettig Corp has brought is a set of eyes on all, I'll say the necessary evils of business. And so that I can, I can get out and build and do what I love to do every day. "

Steven R. Fox – Bankruptcy Attorney, Fox Law
Patrick and I met when I was hired to reorganize a company, a high-end advertising company in Hollywood.
I was in a large conference room with a whole bunch of suits, and he was sitting off to the side on a couch in blue jeans, black t-shirt, long hair out of everyone on the room.
He was the only one who knew what was going on, why the company failed, how to fix it, how to make things better. So he was the guy I keyed into.
What I learned from him was something that I had been looking for, which was why did my companies have confirmed plans and then fail?
And the answer was that as bankruptcy lawyers, we were confirming plans, but we weren't fixing the companies. With Patrick, I can, whether it's inside or outside of a bankruptcy, I can fix a company.
And that's important.
Patrick is unique because Patrick is not of this world.
Um, he is unlike, he really is unlike anyone you've ever met.
He really is. Uh, I tell clients when they're first coming on board to buckle up because there will never be another relationship like this.
When people are in this situation, they're so lost and they're so alone and scared and isolated and ashamed.
And when Patrick comes on the scene, he is the light. You know, he, he shows them the way and, and everybody recognizes that.
They recognize it right away. And when, when your, when your ship is sinking, you know, you know when somebody knows how to turn it around you, you want to be, uh, you know, I wanna go with that guy. That's, yeah, that's why he's unique.
Initially, you know, Patrick was, was hired to, you know, come in and just, you know, take over our finances and our books and then really kind of make sure to get us in the right direction as a company. But we connected on a whole nother level.
You know, I'm a, I'm an entrepreneur, I have multiple businesses and I have a passion to start other businesses, and I also do coaching and mentoring as well.
So I mentor and coach other companies in my space all over the country. And, and Pat and I just connected on a whole different level. And, uh, to this day, I mean, every business decision, every, you know, business that we're, that we're either investing in or starting or growing, you know, he and I connect on just about everything we do and from a business perspective.

“When I met Pat Rettig, I was in a pretty desperate state. From our first meeting, everything that Pat had to say made perfect sense and I knew I needed to work with him.
In a matter of a few short months, my whole life started to transform. Within these six years, Pat has helped me to successfully navigate my divorce, directed me through all the difficulties involving my poor investments, taught me how to transform my business into a healthy, well-organized company, helped me develop healthier relationships with my family, and lead me back to my faith.
Every single piece of advice and information Pat has given me has been absolutely right-on – and always with me and my company’s best interest at heart.”
“Thank you Rettig Corporation.
Because of you and your staff we are in an amazing place today. Patrick, because of you we have a wonderful life now.”

“Patrick Rettig, he’s no BS, like he’s gonna tell you like it is, you know?
And I had a hard time with that first, right? I think a lot of us do.
I’m an entrepreneur. I’m the business, I’m the man, right?
This is, this is my business. You know, I’m doing it. And, he’s gonna come in and tell you like it is, and he’s gonna come in and, and kind of, you know, the way he teaches, I had to learn how to learn the way he teaches, right?
He’s very methodical and very intentional about how he teaches and what business or lesson is he’s trying to teach you.
He’s not just gonna give you the why and the answer right away.
He’s gonna challenge you and he’s gonna give you direction to where you gotta
actually take time to figure out what the message is that he’s trying to teach
you.
Because when you learn it, it’s ingrained a lot more and you actually learn the lesson versus just being told what to do.”
“If your business is in trouble and you believe that you tried absolutely everything to make a come back but NOTHING worked.

He and his team will find the problems with your company. They will work with you to start addressing them. They will guide you on Implementing a plan to bring you back and then execute the plan as you learn to run your company how it should be ran. Profitably. I strongly recommend you reach out to Patrick and his team and get to work.”
“When there is uncertainty within your business, it trickles down to all aspects of your life. Prior to meeting the Rettig Corp, it was hard to make sense of the uncertainty and intimidating things in front of us. The Rettig Corp has brought organization and knowledge to our business to help set us up for long-term success.
New relationships during uncertain times can be difficult to navigate but seeing that they truly cared for our business helped us keep the faith and help us keep a much more certain outlook on the future of our business.”
I have worked with The Patrick Rettig Corporation for a number of years now. The thing that I have been impressed the most by is that if the client follows Patrick’s lead and makes the changes that he will urge them to do then they will absolutely prevail. These changes are not always easy and I have seen clients struggle with making them but in the end Patrick’s principles are game changers. I have seen clients come in completely broken. Their personal life is in ruins, they are spiritually broken and the business is on the brink of complete catastrophic failure. 12 months later this same client is looking ahead with a lightness they would not have thought possible.
The business is showing a profit and home life has changed 100%. I have been fortunate to see this happen time and time again and it is quite amazing to see how a client can completely turn everything around.
“I have worked with Pat Rettig for a number of years. He has keen insight into business owners’ thinking and the priorities they need in life. He has an incisive judgment about the steps a business owner should follow to turn the business around. He has a great “sense” of what is possible and practical. I love his reply to a Bankruptcy Court Judge in a recent case. The Judge was considering a motion to appoint Pat is the business owner’s financial advisor. The Judge asked, “What do you do?” Pat replied, “I’m a financial janitor. I clean up other people’s financial messes.” Needless to say, the Judge appointed Pat and authorized payment to him from the Company. In summary, Pat is compassionate, smart, and practical. He’ll do a great job for you.”
By far the best Turn Around Company on the planet! Patrick and his team have helped me and so many of the companies I work with succeed. So very grateful for the expert service received.
Working with Patrick has been such a blessing. He is smart, intuitive and clear. He has broad knowledge of all aspects of business and an innate sense of what is transpiring in your business and good common sense solutions that will actually help .He has a huge heart and has always committed to what is best for you and your business.
“Patrick has extra-ordinary talent to help troubled companies and their owners; and, years of experience in a variety of difficult situations that allowed honing of his skills. As a banker of over 30 years, it has been with pleasure and some awe to watch him work with his “Business First, Family First” methodology.
Having introduced him to business owners on the brink of insolvency, this banker has witnessed first-hand his ability to not only quickly determine what needs to be done, but also his ability to adroitly get it done. A fierce protector of the interests of the owner and their family, those who actually follow his advice, as hard as it may be to hear at the time, profit long term. He is a fair honest man who lives by his word. A rare commodity today.
If your company is struggling, there is no one better to have in your corner than Mr. Rettig. At the end of the day, your family will thank you.”
I’m delighted to share my positive review of the Rettig Corp. Their high-level coaching platform is truly exceptional. The incorporation of spiritual guidance, particularly bringing God into our lives, adds a unique and profound dimension to the coaching experience. It has been invaluable in helping me navigate life’s challenges with a sense of purpose and direction. The Rettig Corp’s commitment to personal growth and spiritual well-being is truly commendable. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a transformative coaching experience. Adrian
“As a small business trying to get to the next level I was introduced to Patrick by a family member. Within 10 days of the meeting, he had evaluated by business looking back many years, and discussed goals looking forward. Next, he provided me road map and a dream team of legal, accounting, marketing, and even spiritual consultants that have made it all happen.
A year later my business had a solid infrastructure with weekly team meetings and had more than doubled in size. I simply did not have the vision or finances to accomplish what Patrick has brought to my company. It has been a life changer for me and my family. He even makes sure I keep my motorcycle properly maintained!”
I would never have expected my trusted business partner would do what he did (and continues to do) and I was supposed to step up for him at his wedding! Go figure when his mom, also our attorney wanted me gone! Why? (Our innovative digital work got us the investment we sought, yet they didn’t want to share… )
Money, that’s why! Meanwhile, my work was a hit and I had all major studios come through my door. As Patrick said “you’re flying down the highway and you got two flats, but you just have to keep going!” Because, Patrick stood up for what was true and right while I could continue to work and keep my staff and company going. Begin a conversation with Patrick and just by doing that will change you and your company’s trajectory for a better future -for you and your company… second opinions are always available. Say hello.
The Rettig Corp saved my company. They are an unbelievable team of professionals with a unique skill set. They will be instrumental in our company’s growth for years to come.
