About Patrick R.
Patrick R. Seidel graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with a Bachelor of Arts in 2003. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from Ave Maria School of Law in 2008. Those formative years framed his legal training and introduced him to both academic and practical aspects of the law.
After law school, Seidel entered private practice and built a career that includes admissions in multiple jurisdictions. He is admitted to practice in Maryland and New York and is also admitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. That combination of state and federal credentials allows him to take cases in different forums and to handle procedural challenges that cross jurisdictional lines.
Seidel serves as a lawyer at Silverman Thompson. At the firm he works from its offices and participates in the firm’s litigation docket. His work involves courtroom filings, client counseling, and coordination with colleagues on matters that require both state and federal court appearances. He has handled matters that proceed through motion practice and into trial preparation.
Colleagues describe him as steady and detail-oriented in the courtroom and at the drafting table. He approaches factual development methodically and prepares pleadings with an eye toward argument and evidentiary support. His admissions to federal and state courts mean he regularly files briefs and appears in hearings that test both substantive and procedural issues.
Seidel’s practice is anchored at Silverman Thompson, where he represents clients in matters that require work in Maryland and New York courts and in the federal district for Maryland. He maintains a practice focused on litigation and court representation, drawing on his dual-state admissions and federal court standing in his current work.
