Patrick represented his client exceptionally in every facet of the litigation. He is professional and treats his adversaries with courtesy and respect. With respect to the trial, he was clearly well prepared, exhibited a thorough knowledge of the law pertaining to the case and the evidentiary foundations needed to conduct a clean trial, and exhibited the kind of mental agility needed to successfully handle the inevitable curveballs most trials present.
