About Patrick
Biography
I have been engaged in the international business and US domestic world as an entrepreneur, manufacturer, distributor, landlord, tenant, and business owner. I have also purchased, merged, and sold businesses for myself as well as clients. These experiences have lended me a tremendous amount of experience in advising clients on their rights and liabilitiesin the business world.
I now counsel clients on a variety of matters from business law disputes, incorporation real estate, and business development. I enjoy being consigliere for my clients and setting them up for success in their business careers.
The best solutions can only be crafted when all of your options and rights are known. Without knowing your rights and options, you are not playing on a level playing field. I look to resolve matters quickly and efficiently.

Wrong expertise and bad timing
I imagine Patrick is a good business lawyer judging by these reviews. A mutual acquaintance encouraged me to retain him to work on a highly charged potential case in an area requiring great specialization. Patrick also was otherwise occupied by personal matters at the time. He should not have taken m...

Extremely knowledgeable attorney
I hired Pat to help me out with a real estate contract dispute. His knowledge of contract and real estate law saved me a lot of time and money! I will use Pat the next time I'm in need of help. Thanks again Pat!

Very responsible, knowledgeable, and trustworthy!
My wife and I consulted with Pat when dealing with a nasty previous landlord. Pat guided us through our legal options, and even suggested avoiding going to court because of the costs involved. Pat was excellent to work with. He made recommendations based on our best interests, despite the fact that r...
Patrick William Kwan's Lawyer Endorsements
"I consider Patrick an excellent lawyer and better person. He has helped me whenever I needed it and sometimes without me even asking. If you have a chance to work with or hire him you will not be disappointed."
"Patrick has a keen grasp of business law and does everything he can to help his clients. He is a delight to work with."
"I have known Patrick in a personal capacity for over a decade, and in that time he has shown nothing but integrity, diligence, and a willingness to help those around him. I find these qualities of utmost importance in a legal practice, and he has them in abundance. In the legal work we have accomplished together, he has been professional and forthright. Unlike many attorneys, he has the ability to admit "I don't know, I need to research that" instead of just making up an answer. This is a completely underrated quality. The right answer is so much more important than the fast one. I respect Patrick both personally and professionally, and I am pleased to recommend him for any legal issues you or a loved one may be facing."
"Patrick is a smart young lawyer willing to go the extra mile to help his clients and to find the answer. Patrick has the drive and the desire to become a rising star in the business and commercial law field."
"Because Mr. Kwan has run successful businesses himself, his advise, counsel and viewpoint is not limited to law. I have watched him help his clients navigate the purchase, sale, closure and transfer a of number of businesses and his advise and counsel is spot on. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Patrick is a hard working, skilled, intelligent, and affable advocate. Unlike many attorneys, he has a great deal of real world experience due to this lengthy business background, including international business dealings. Whether it is customer service, dealing with international business connections, or understanding markets, Patrick is well versed. He is not afraid to stand up and fight for the needs of his clients."
