He regularly appears in Massachusetts Superior Courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, where he conducts evidentiary hearings, argues dispositive motions, and prepares cases for trial.
Patrick has already as counsel in numerous Massachusetts Superior Court jury trials involving sexual assault charges—two of which resulted in outright rape acquittals and others ending allowing the client to return home at the end. Most recently, he directly aided in securing across-the-board not guilty verdicts at trial in a case where the client faced a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence. He continues to work closely with Attorneys Brad Bailey and Daniel Reilly on the firm’s most demanding and high-stakes cases.

While still in law school, he represented indigent clients in Boston Municipal Court, gaining early, invaluable courtroom experience and a deep appreciation for the stakes of criminal defense work. He is currently admitted to practice in Massachusetts state and federal courts and is pending admission in New Hampshire while already appearing in numerous New Hampshire courts on a Pro Hac basis.
Beyond the courtroom, Patrick supports the firm’s federal practice with research, strategic motion drafting, and litigation support in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. His motions to suppress and dismiss have resulted in the exclusion of key evidence and the dismissal of charges in multiple cases.
Raised in New Hampshire and a Boston resident for over a decade, Patrick maintains strong ties to both communities. He volunteers with local shelters and is an avid supporter of Boston’s sports teams.
