In your code the findElements method finds no elements matching the passed locator.
First of all, I see you passing multiple class names with By.className while this method receives a single class name value. To use multiple class names you can use CSS Selector or XPath.
So, try this:

String pattern_2 = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(".static-links__link.fx-typography-meta.js-header-link-service")).get(0).getText();

I can't be sure this will work since I can't see all your code, but at least the locator now mathces the method.

Thanks, I used cssSelector copying the selector instead of the class name and it found it :)
