About Patrick

5
Practice areas
  1. Defective and dangerous products
    24%
    The process for placing a product into the stream of commerce is sometimes too simple and our own FDA does not always require enough evidence that a product is safe. We evaluate cases involving dangerous products like Stryker Rejuvenate hip implants, Testosterone supplements, and transvaginal mesh implants.

    20 years

  2. Medical malpractice
    24%
    Too often the physical harm a patient suffers due to a mistake does not rise to the level which justifies the extraordinary time, energy and expense required to litigate a malpractice case against a doctor or hospital. We can help injured patients evaluate the risks and potential gains of pursuing litigation.

    20 years

  3. Personal injury
    24%
    Whenever someone's negligent conduct has caused someone serious harm, a personal injury case should be considered and evaluated. This includes trucking accidents, injuries caused by an unsafe condition on a commercial property, and even a serious injury at a work site, like a construction accident.

  4. Wrongful death
    23%
    In Oregon a wrongful death case involves some unique legal considerations. At Angel Law we know how to handle a wrongful death case. The tragic loss of a loved one is an overwhelming challenge. We try our best to make wrongful death litigation as pain free as we possibly can.

AT ANGEL LAW, P.C. WE STILL BELIEVE THAT THE PRACTICE OF LAW IS A NOBLE PROFESSION.

Patrick Angel grew up in and around Bossier City, Louisiana and enlisted in the US Marine Corps after graduating high school.  Patrick rose through the enlisted ranks quickly and was an infantry Sergeant, leading Marines into combat, by the time the first Gulf War broke out in August of 1990.  Then Sergeant Angel was a member of the Marine Corps' Task Force Ripper which served as the tip of the spear for offensive operations of the First Marine Division.

After being honorably discharged from the military after an event filled six year enlistment, Patrick was accepted to the University of California at Berkeley, where he earned his Bachelor's degree before attending law school in Portland Oregon.  While at Lewis and Clark Law School Patrick revealed an early talent for courtroom excellence by winning the honor of Best Oral Advocate during the traditional first year Moot Court Competition.

He was also one of very few law students certified by the State of Oregon to try criminal cases for the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office while still in law school.  Patrick tried numerous criminal cases to jury verdict while working in the District Attorney's office in 2001.

After interning in the District Attorney's office as a law student, Patrick's legal career has always focused on representing Oregonians from all over the State who have been exploited or injured by the wrongdoing of others.  He takes only a small number of new cases each year and personally handles every aspect of each client's case from the first meeting to the end of trial.  Patrick has extensive courtroom experience having prevailed in countless hard fought motions of every type and kind, he's handled numerous complex legal cases, and has logged hundreds of hours in intensive depositions.  Patrick is experienced with every aspect of preparing a client's civil case for trial.

A True Professional
When I got hit by a car while riding my bike to work, I was left with hefty medical bills and lost wages. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to have Patrick handle my case. He and his team were efficient, caring, and very communicative throughout the entire process. I would happily refer Patrick to friends and family should they need legal services. He really cares about his clients and results.

Patrick Took Care of Everything in Our Auto Collision Case
We hired Patrick Angel to handle our car accident when my wife was rear ended a couple of years ago. She was injured and missed some work and we needed help dealing with the insurance company to get medical bills paid, our car fixed and compensation for all our losses. Patrick immediately took control of the situation, got the insurance company to pay the medical bills that it was supposed to pay and helped us get a good settlement overall. We were very impressed with Patrick's work because he always communicated with us, kept us informed and involved us in the process. Patrick handled our legal matter with expertise and diligence. We were really very happy with the work he did for us.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2008
updated on 01/02/2011

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Patrick's comment: “In 2006 a mistake was made in a client's case regarding a failure to generate a particular required fee contract. Instead, a different improper fee contract was drafted by mistake. Upon being made aware of the mistake, the client's retainer was immediately refunded, I accepted complete responsibility for the mistake and voluntarily agreed to the reprimand, one of the lowest forms of bar discipline. Please contact Angel Law PC to discuss any other questions you may have about this reprimand.”
