Patrick Kinney
Chief of Legal Staff/Chief Paralegal
“His exemplary brief writing, his impeccable knowledge of the law, and his overall confident demeanor caused our lead attorney to immediately promote [Patrick] as his firm’s chief of legal staff and chief paralegal of the firm,” says nominating attorney David Moffitt. “Patrick Kinney still holds that position to this day.” Patrick’s top-tier brief writing has gained some major victories for the firm, including the winning Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the case of Upshaw v Stephenson, E.D. Mich. No. 20-12560. David deeply respects Patrick and the legal brilliance he brings to the table, and the entire firm is incredibly proud of his work.
