About Patricia

Patricia is a Utah native who spent years in personal injury law before finding her home in criminal defense at CFG. She’s the kind of person who genuinely loves the work: the process, the attorneys she works alongside, and the ongoing education that comes with a field that’s always changing. If you ask her what she wishes clients understood, she’ll tell you straight: her job is to support the attorneys and help move things forward, and she takes that responsibility seriously. She’ll also be the first to clarify that she can’t give legal advice, no matter how much she might want to help.

Patricia is an introvert at heart, which might surprise people who meet her at the office. Outside of work, she’s most at home with a sewing project and a good book. She’s currently working through the Robin James legal fiction series and a new Dan Brown, often with a dark hot chocolate in hand.
