When it comes to the legal system, Patrick has experience working on both sides of a case. As a former prosecutor, he fought to prove that a crime had been committed and convince the judge and jury that the defendant was guilty. On the flip side, working as a defense attorney, he fights to ensure criminal defendants get an aggressive defense strategy and a fair trial.
Patrick earned his Juris Doctorate from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Lansing, Michigan, in 1993. Here he gained not only the knowledge, but also practical experience to help him become a more effective lawyer. His hard work and dedication paid off and he was awarded the American Jurisprudence Award in Sales and Negotiable Instruments.
It was during his second year of law school that he became interested in working in criminal law. He was selected by the Prosecuting Attorney's Association of Michigan for an internship.
This gave him real-life experience putting together cases and fighting for convictions. His determination, knowledge, and skill helped him to win several misdemeanor conviction cases as a second year law student. As he was researching and helping to support these clients, he realized that there was a strong need for proactive defense attorneys. The prosecution is not always correct and does make mistakes. Clients also need someone who will fight on their behalf and stand up for their rights even in the most challenging cases. He believes that everyone has the right to a fair and just trial.
Upon graduating he took a position as a full-time prosecutor. Many of his cases involved drug offenses, drunk driving, home invasion, serious assaults, and embezzlement. He became well-versed in these areas and gained a deeper understanding of the Michigan Jury Instructions, Sentencing Guidelines, Michigan Compiled Laws and complex criminal defense strategies. Working with a wide variety of clients, he tried cases of all types. It helped him to build a strong foundation on which to draw from when constructing arguments and cases. It is important that lawyers become familiar with different types of cases because it allows them to apply these skills to other areas and provide better support for their clients.

He could focus on countering these arguments and proving his client's innocence. With more than 15 years of experience he has obtained multiple "not guilty" verdicts in criminal trials. He has also spent this time building his experience in business law, becoming more familiar with commercial transactions and business formation. This allows him to provide a greater range of services to his clients and support them in diverse ways.
