Patrick Brendan Mcgrath

I am proud to be the newest addition to McGrath Law Office, P.C.  I began my path towards becoming a lawyer at Purdue University, where I studied sales and marketing.  My time at Purdue provided me with a head start on becoming a good lawyer, particularly stressing the importance of excellent client service.  After attending Purdue, I continued my studies at the SIU School of Law in Carbondale.  Beyond the ordinary class work and experiential learning experiences law school provides, I was also able to learn the law through volunteering at the SIU Legal Clinic.  At the SIU Legal Clinic, I represented the needy elderly residents of Southern Illinois on a wide variety of legal problems on a pro bono basis.  In May of 2009, I graduated from SIU at the top of my class and was chosen by my classmates to deliver the commencement address.  After completing my studies at SIU and taking the bar exam, I immediately returned to central Illinois to join the family firm.  I share my Dad’s mission to provide clients with a legal advocate who can translate the law into plain English.  Together, we strive to provide excellent client service to our clients and to provide our clients with a small town attorney that you can understand.
