Patrick is the guy the we other attorneys will call when the facts are messy and the path forward isn’t obvious. He doesn’t get distracted by noise and has a good feel for what actually moves the case in the right direction. There are zero (0) attorneys who are more in tune with the maneuverings of the courthouse than Patrick.
