History

Education

I attended Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, where I received my undergraduate degree in Political Science in 1992. I subsequently received a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995, and was licensed to practice law by the State of North Carolina later that year.

Employment

I am a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law by the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization, having been certified in November 2003. I am also a qualified Mediator and assist other attorneys and their clients in coming to amicable resolutions of their issues without the necessity of court intervention.

Activities

It has always been important to me that I give back to the community. For the past several years I've taught youth martial arts and jiu-jitsu to local children and have been an instructor in numerous women's self-defense classes and rape awareness and prevention classes for community organizations. An avid outdoorsman, Patrick enjoys mountain biking and whitewater kayaking.
