About Patrick
Patrick Block is a dedicated personal injury attorney specializing in medical malpractice cases at The Law Offices of Patrick L. Block, P.C., located at 101 SW Main St, Suite 910, Portland, Oregon. Since his admission to the Oregon State Bar in 1999, he is known for handling complex medical malpractice claims throughout the state. His firm is committed to advocating for clients who have suffered due to medical negligence, including issues such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and birth injuries. In 1998, Patrick earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Oregon School of Law, where he developed a strong foundation in legal principles.
Prior to attending law school, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Washington, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 1995. During his time in law school, he gained inexperience by clerking for the Lane County District Attorney's Office, which provided him with insights into criminal law and the details of the legal system. Most of Patrick's caseload involves representing clients through the various stages of medical malpractice litigation. Cases typically progress from the initial consultation to the investigation phase, followed by the filing of complaints and discovery. When necessary, he is prepared to take cases to trial, ensuring that his clients receive the justice they deserve.
His experience in this field allows him to handle the requirements of medical malpractice law effectively. Before founding his own firm in 2005, Patrick worked as an associate attorney at a boutique personal injury firm in Portland from 1999 to 2004. This role provided him with critical experience in handling personal injury cases, which ultimately led him to focus exclusively on medical malpractice upon establishing The Law Offices of Patrick L. Block, P.C. His commitment to this area of law is evident in his ongoing involvement with the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association.
He has served on multiple committees, including a three-year tenure as co-chair of the professional negligence section. Recognition for Patrick's work has come in various forms. He has been featured in the "Guardians Spotlight" section of Sidebar, a publication by the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. Additionally, he was selected for inclusion in the Oregon Super Lawyers® list for 2014 and 2015, an honor awarded to only up to 5% of Oregon lawyers each year. Licensed to practice law in both Oregon and Washington, Patrick Block continues to be a prominent figure in the field of medical malpractice, dedicated to serving his clients with compassion and expertise.
