Patricia is a partner in the Probate, Trust and Fiduciary Litigation Group and the Business and General Litigation Group.  Her practice focuses on helping families resolve issues involving wills, trusts and real estate as well as disputes involving family and closely-held businesses.  In addition, she represents individual and institutional fiduciaries, and assists them with resolving conflicts concerning their rights and obligations.

Patricia also litigates complex business issues that arise out of breach of fiduciary duty claims, breach of contract claims, shareholder disputes, corporate dissolutions, trade secret issues and real estate matters.

Patricia works closely with clients to manage risks and, when litigation is neccessary, to implement efficient and effective strategies.  She has an extensive track record of successfully taking matters to trial, but she also works with clients to achieve practical and expedient results when litigation is not in the client's best interest.

In 2001, Patricia was selected by the Worcester Business Journal as one of "Forty under Forty" young professionals honored for their community service. In 2003, the Girl Scouts of the Montachusett Council named her a "Woman of Distinction."  She is a leader in a number of community organizations in Worcester and MetroWest.
