About Patrick J.
Patrick J. Best is an attorney admitted to practice in several state and federal jurisdictions. He holds admissions in Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, and is also admitted to the Third Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.

He works at ARM Lawyers, part of a multi-office platform that fields matters across state lines. His practice reflects that multi-jurisdictional reach. He routinely files pleadings, handles court appearances and manages procedural work that spans differing state rules and federal procedure.
Admittance to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Third Circuit gives him the option to take appeals to those benches when cases raise federal or constitutional issues. He has experience preparing appellate briefs and submitting matters for higher-court review. That appellate access complements trial-level practice in the states where he is licensed.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in courtroom preparation. He approaches cases with attention to sequence and deadlines. He often works on matters that require coordination among counsel in different jurisdictions. Managing those logistics is a steady part of his workload.
Clients who hire him encounter a lawyer comfortable in both state and federal settings. He handles motions, hearings and appellate filings. He also addresses procedural questions that arise when a case moves between courts or involves cross-border discovery.
At ARM Lawyers, he contributes to a team that fields litigation across the firm’s offices. That structure allows him to draw on local counsel when particular state rules or practice nuances are at issue. It also means he can shepherd cases from initial filings through appeals where necessary.
Outside the courtroom, he spends time on case strategy and drafting. He prioritizes clear, concise filings that lay out the key legal and factual issues. He also works on coordinating schedules and preparing witnesses for depositions and hearings.
He currently practices at ARM Lawyers, handling litigation and appellate matters across his admitted jurisdictions.
