Attorney Biography
I enjoy getting to know my clients – what makes them tick; what they most look forward to; what they want out of life. At Patterson Law Group, I am part of a team whose primary goal is to get people’s lives back on track after an awful wreck or other life-changing injury.
Empathetic advocacy is one thing that’s often missing in these types of situations. I am proud to be part of a group that puts the law where it should be – on the side of people and families.
Originally from Oklahoma, I fell in love with Fort Worth during undergrad at TCU. After graduation, I went back to Oklahoma for law school, then returned south for work (and for Travis).
I initially focused my practice on various transactional matters – forming businesses, advising investors and drafting wills. These experiences helped me to see what I really wanted out of my career: an opportunity to use the law to help people.
I am excited to come to work every day, along with the family dogs, Graham and Graford. I am also active in various community organizations, including the Junior League of Fort Worth, the Tarrant Area Food Bank and Catholic Charities.
