Partner David Patton Interviewed by Law360 in “Ex-Leader Of Federal Defenders On Joining Kaplan Hecker”

Partner David Patton sat for an interview with Law360 to discuss his time at the Federal Defenders of New York and why he decided to join Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP.

David shares, “I've always loved being a trial lawyer. And I've now spent 12 years running Federal Defenders. And I've gotten to do a fair amount of trial work during my time heading the office, but it also comes with a lot of other responsibilities — administrative responsibilities, policy work and many other things. It's just an extraordinary opportunity now to be able to really focus on being nothing but a trial lawyer. And to be able to do it at Kaplan Hecker — it's truly unique in its combination of the highest level of practice and a commitment to public interest work. I don't know of any other firm like it. Not to mention, they are a collection of genuinely great people. So, how can you beat that?”

David’s practice will focus on white-collar and government regulatory matters and trials.
