About Patrick Brown
Patrick Brown was born and raised in Bavaria, Germany, and moved to the United States at age 21. He lost his father to a tragic auto accident three years before immigrating, an experience that drove him to become a lawyer and advocate for people who cannot otherwise advocate for themselves. Before law school, Patrick had a career in the medical field working with children with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals recovering from traumatic physical injuries.
He advocates for childhood sexual abuse survivors, vulnerable adults, and victims of traumatic, life-altering events in Tacoma and throughout Washington, handling government liability, motor vehicle accidents, catastrophic injuries, medical malpractice, bad faith insurance, and wrongful death cases. Patrick graduated cum laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2020 and summa cum laude in Law and Justice from Central Washington University. He is past president of Tacoma-Pierce County Young Lawyers and a Washington State Association for Justice EAGLE Member.
