Prior to joining Brownlee Whitlow & Praet, Pat spent the better part of a decade working in the District Attorney’s Office or working in private practice in the Catawba County area. He has done a variety of criminal, juvenile, family, and civil work. Pat has appeared before Magistrates as well as District and Superior Court Judges in multiple counties around North Carolina. His entire career has been based around litigating issues in court for his clients.

He graduated law school from the Charlotte School of law, and undergrad from Virginia Tech. Pat is 3rd generation born-and-raised in Charlotte, and other than college, has lived here his entire life.

Pat is married to his lovely wife, Aly. They have a 2-year-old girl named Sutton, and a 5.5-year-old Goldendoodle named Ollie. The family enjoys going out on Mountain Island Lake when the weather is nice. Pat has recently gotten both his wife and daughter golf clubs, in an effort to get the entire family out on the golf course more often. They are members at Pine Island Country Club, where Sutton loves going down the water slide on the weekends.
