We were lucky enough to be referred to Pat when Keith had an accident at the railroad. Pat was amazing every step of the way. He helped us understand what the next step would always be. He was always available for questions. The entire staff became family and we are so grateful that we had Pat at our table through mediation and the trial.
Pat's knowledge of F.E.L.A is extensive and there was no way I could have filed a case without his assistance.
His professionalism and courtesy is much appreciated during a difficult time in our family's life.

"I have known Pat for 16 years through a lawyer group we belong to representing injured railroad workers. I also have served as Pat's local counsel and have had an opportunity to work with him on cases. Pat is one of the most competent attorneys I know in the country and possibly the most zealous advocates for his clients that I know. I consider Pat an excellent colleague, a friend and a mentor."

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I had the privilege and pleasure of serving as local counsel for Pat and our mutual client on a significant UIM matter from filing of the complaint through the jury's verdict, which was for the UIM carrier's limits. Our client had serious injuries resulting in surgery and significant unpaid medical bills. Pat was professional, prepared and fearless throughout. Pat tried an excellent and clean case, ultimately resulting in justice for our client. I am a better lawyer for having had the chance to work with a lawyer like Pat and do not hesitate to endorse him."
