25 years ago when Pat O'Donnell was talking to his son's grade school class about what he did for a living, he simply said, "I solve peoples' problems." Today Pat is still doing the same thing in his practice.
Whether it's strategic diplomacy and subtle persuasion or figuratively holding his opponent's head under water, Pat's goal is to obtain results for clients, efficiently and cost-effectively. Pat's background as a Navy veteran and martial artist have instilled in him that honor, respect, professionalism and personal responsibility are paramount in dealings with others - in assisting clients, in adversarial negotiations and in the courtroom. In addition to his legal work, Pat is passionate about professional and community service. He serves and has served on many non-profit groups for many years.
