About

Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m passionate about bringing usable, real world legal advice to my clients.

I represent clients in Minnesota on a variety of business and personal matters, including employment law, contracts, business formation, and real estate issues. As the former owner of a landscaping business, I understand how the law affects both small businesses and individuals.  

As an attorney, I have learned to help clients with the big problems first. We can work on the little stuff once the big issues have been taken care of.

I am an Adjunct Law Professor and an Army Reserve Judge Advocate. Both of these experiences give me a broader perspective in aiding my clients.

I approach every consultation with the goal of making sure my clients are better off and more secure in their legal decision making process when the consultation is complete.

Why practice law

I practice law to help people navigate the increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment that we live in.

Fun fact

I have traveled to 37 countries, completed 6 marathons, hiked to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and once competed as a Golden Gloves boxer.
