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.

Practical and Objective
Sometimes, people just tell us what we want to hear. Mr. Kwan remained transparent and objective in my consultation with him, and provided some very real pros, cons, and alternative options that I did not even think about that helped me to better assess, and decide which way to go with my busines...

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...

Complete and thorough
Someone was loaning me money, in the form of a promissory note backed by real estate. Pat was great at working with us on the terms of the note, and then ensuring that all appropriate forms were filed on our behalf. We could have done this with a simple note, but having it legally binding and 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."
