Jovanna L. Patrick
Attorney/Partner
As an attorney for over 10 years, I pride myself on empowering my clients. I help my clients understand the legal system and look for creative solutions to legal issues. I became an attorney to give a legal voice to people who may not otherwise have an avenue to vindicate a legal wrong. By helping make positive changes in the lives of my clients, we increase access to justice for all Oregonians.
I began working for the firm in 2007, and became a partner in 2019. My practice focuses primarily on workplace injuries. I also represent clients in automobile accidents, personal injuries, and legal malpractice. I am proficient in Spanish and represent many non-English speaking clients.
I graduated from Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark, cum laude, in 2010. I attended Lewis and Clark College as an undergraduate, graduating in 2005 with a BA in History and Communication, summa cum laude, and a minor in Latin American Studies. I received the Super Lawyers Rising Star Award, 2014-2022, and the 2015 Martindale-Hubbell Client Distinction Award. I am admitted to all courts in Oregon and routinely represent clients in state court, federal court, and before the Workers’ Compensation Board.
I am so proud to be one of the authors of the 2022 Injured Worker Protection Bill, HB 3148, which will increase protections to injured workers, making sure they keep more of their benefits so they can provide for their families as they rebuild their lives.
I have deep roots in Oregon, my great-grandparents traveling the Oregon Trail to settle in Eagle Creek. I live in the Portland area on a small farm with my husband and our animals.
