Client Testimonials

"Patrick represented me in a case of an unauthorized use of a photograph. His communication was prompt – and I immediately knew I was in good hands. The matter was settled in my favor. We were up against a much larger firm and Patrick was firm, professional, and effective in the negotiations. He secured us a substantial but fair settlement."
