Patrick McLaughlin graduated form The Toledo College of Law in 1993, where he was the President of the Environmental Law Society.  He worked and a Public Defender Intern at Toledo Municipal Court in 1992 & 1993, where he learned the ropes of criminal defense.  After initially deciding to work in the private sector in management, Patrick decided to return to criminal representation in 1999.  Patrick took public defender cases through the Assigned Counsel's Office until 2004, and worked for several large local firms through 2004, when he decided to start his own firm, focusing on DWI, criminal defense, and traffic.  Patrick's goal is to bring his record of proven results to those in need, at a fraction of the big firm's prices.  Patrick was nominated for inclusion in the Best Lawyers in WNY publication in 2008.  The Law Offices of Patrick McLaughlin will gladly compare our results with any other firm's.  Proven results, for a fraction of the big firm price.  We're here to help, not to drain every last buck out of you.  We care about our clients, and treat each case like we are being charged.  We want the best possible result for our clients, the results that we'd attempt to achieve for ourselves, if we were in the client's position.
