PRESSING QUESTIONS

How I knew this was my passion

I see the carnage from distracted driving (and other reckless behavior) every single day at Patterson Law Group.

Biggest challenges in my career

Every week brings a new challenge. But that’s the fun part.

My first job and what it taught me

My first legal job was an internship at a really big, international law firm. Learned it just wasn’t for me — and that if I couldn’t be myself, I’d never be successful there.

A nonprofit I wish more people knew about

Act for Justice — they are doing amazing work to clean up our communities.

What keeps me coming back to my job every day

In the words of Robert Earl Keen, “the work is never done.” Justice never rests.

Best career moment so far

Getting to run a law firm with my wife full of GREAT people that work so hard for our GREAT clients. Nothing beats that.

A skill I never expected to need in this field

“Vibe Coding”

One practice I use to maintain my mental health

Fishing. We place a big emphasis on mental health at Patterson Law Group.

Best advice I ever received

“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.”

The one thing I wish people knew about my field

There are a lot of plaintiff’s lawyers out there who really are doing this for the right reasons. The passion is real.

The first thing I do to course-correct when I hit a wall

Ask Tennessee Walker.
