For Patrick, listening is the key to understanding how to effectively represent his clients.

Patrick received his J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School, graduating cum laude in 2022. He was a member of the Lewis & Clark Environmental Law Review, studied civil procedure and complex litigation with noted law professor and class action expert Robert H. Klonoff, and served as a Judicial Extern for the Hon. Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. After law school, Patrick worked closely with Professor Klonoff on a variety of high-profile class actions and multidistrict litigation cases and was an Associate at Social Media Victims Law Center.

Patrick first became interested in law as a student at Grant High School in Portland, Oregon, where he participated in the “We the People” program sponsored by the Center for Civic Education. The attorneys who volunteered with that program shared their passion for history and civics, fueling Patrick’s interest in becoming an attorney. Patrick earned a degree in philosophy at Fordham University, worked at a large New York auction house as a logistics coordinator, and was one of the first employees at a tech startup.

Patrick enjoys playing music and chess, tending to his vegetable plot at a community garden, and taking trips with his wife and their two dogs.
