      Biography

      I’ve worked with injured folks for the past decade, both in the context of auto accidents and worker’s compensation. I know that when you suffer an injury, you need firm and aggressive advocacy so your voice can be heard. But you also need frank and honest guidance so you can make good decisions for your future and for your family’s future. I provide both.

      When you call my firm, I’m the one you’ll talk to on the phone, not some screener who passes you along to an associate. I take your call, I hear your story, I assess your needs.

      Being injured is hard. Going through a lawsuit can make it even harder. My goal is to get you to closure so you can start feeling human again. It’s personally injury law with a personal touch.

      Here’s a little bit about my background.

        Patrick worked with me on a workman’s comp case involving my grand daughter. We met strong resistance and delay by the insurance company and their representation. Patrick was diligent, understood the dynamics, presented the information and evidence in an organized and patient way and kept the emotions out of it. The cumulative facts and information which he gathered, organized and presented became compelling. He kept me informed, consulted with me and eventually recommended a cash settlement which made sense and was accepted by the insuring party. I also found Patrick to be very personable, motivated by his professional responsibilities and personal concern for a fair and legal outcome. PLEASE NOTE: Since I do not have a Facebook or LinkedIn account I used my wife Mary’s Facebook account. I am her husband, Glenn DeMots and my full name may be used.

        Patrick assisted me with my case and really had a good background & knowledge of the area of law that applied. He was easy to work with and provided encouragement and realistic expectations. It’s so easy to get one’s hopes up, but he outlined various scenarios, considerations, and strategies. He also outlined what we’d have to do if these arose. I’ve been very happy with his services!
