This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Attorney and Senior Administrator

I hired Patrick Bradford to be outside counsel for my then organization’s major investigative and pre-litigation and litigation matters. Several were pressing; among them, was a litigation in the discovery phase. The organization’s executives and staff were apprehensive as they had never been face...d with such litigation. Patrick was able to assuage that anxiety and make people feel confident about the course of the litigation. He artfully mastered the situation’s details and its big picture context. He is an excellent communicator, brilliant strategist, and fierce advocate who inspires confidence. I would highly recommend Patrick and am honored to have the privilege to do so.

Managing Partner

It is an honor to write this review for Patrick A. Bradford. I hired Patrick to create several contract templates for my newly formed consulting business to support business development, IP protection, and customer engagement. At the start of each assignment, Patrick asked detailed questions to under...stand the business context and how I intended to use the contract. This allowed him to prepare first drafts of every agreement that were at least 80% close to the final version. Patrick is a brilliant, no-nonsense lawyer who is detail-oriented, collaborative, and easy to work with. I look forward to working with Patrick again when I have the need for a top-notch business attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
