About Tyler
Tyler Patterson built his legal foundation in classrooms and alumni networks before arriving at a suburban law office where he writes briefs and appears in state matters. He graduated from Dickinson School of Law at Pennsylvania State University in 2011 after completing undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Binghamton in 2008. The path from campus to counsel has been steady and marked by active membership in professional and advocacy groups.
Patterson earned his J.D. in 2011. His undergraduate degree was a B.A. conferred in 2008. Those years framed his early interest in the intersection of law and public life. At Penn State he took courses that emphasized procedure and statutory interpretation. At Binghamton he pursued a liberal arts curriculum that reinforced research and writing skills he still uses in practice.
After law school he entered private practice and by 2016 he had taken on the title of associate at Tully Rinckey PLLC. His time at the firm has involved typical associate duties: drafting memoranda, briefing motions, and participating in client meetings. Colleagues describe him as deliberate on procedural points and attentive to case preparation. He has handled matters under New York law and worked alongside more senior attorneys on litigation and regulatory matters.
Outside the office, Patterson has remained engaged with professional organizations. Since 2017 he has held membership in the NYSBA Committee on Civil Rights. That involvement indicates a sustained interest in civil liberties and state-level legal discussions. He has also been a member of the Federalist Society since 2017 and belongs to the Penn State Alumni Association. His membership in the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, also since 2017, aligns with the civil liberties thread running through his professional affiliations. These memberships cross traditional lines and reflect an attorney who follows debates about rights, institutions, and the law.
Patterson is licensed to practice in New York and works from an office of Tully Rinckey PLLC. He has continued to develop his practice as part of a team that handles a range of matters under state law. His current practice centers on civil rights and individual rights matters in New York.
