Our clients come first. We know it sounds simple, maybe even trite. But it’s been the creed of this firm since Frank Patterson first hung out his shingle in 1928.  It has served our firm well. The members of this firm have always understood that we can only be successful when our clients succeed. That explains why so many of our clients, both business and personal, have stayed with us through the generations.  

In early 2006, the Nova Scotia branch of Patterson Palmer decided to opt out of a merger with Cox Hanson, because our clients come first. We were unwilling to accept the legal conflicts that such a merger would have created, because inevitably such conflict would have forced a Patterson client to look elsewhere for legal representation and expertise.

At Patterson Law we live the creed. It drives the way we work together as a team in our offices and it drives us to continue to evolve our business, develop our own abilities and create better ways to work with clients.

In our offices, when we talk about partners we are not just talking about members of the firm, we are talking about our clients.
