Founder & Real Estate Attorney
Patrick is an Arizona real estate attorney with more than 20 years of legal experience, over 17 years focused in real estate law, and 16+ years of executive-level management and corporate counsel work.
His practice spans real estate litigation, motion practice and courtroom advocacy, written legal assessments, case theme development, discovery strategy, due diligence, internal and external investigations, audits, and advising on legal, regulatory, and reputational risk.
