Mr. Patrick Coughlin is commited to fighting for the underdog.  He first began his career as an attorney working for a small firm that represented prison inmates.  After experiencing and witnessing a number of injustices, he knew that he would always work towards giving a voice to those who needed one in our criminal justice system.  He then worked as a deputy public defender in Humboldt County.

​

Being in a rural, remote area did not stop Mr. Coughlin from managing a large caseload of misdemeanor, felony, and varied civil matters where he represented the interests of those who could not afford counsel.  He tried a number of cases before juries ranging from DUI's to domestic violence to workers' compensation matters to even failure to dispose of a dead cow properly.

​

Needless to say, he does not shy away from a challenge.  For the past couple of years, Mr. Coughlin has continued fighting for those who need a voice throughout the Bay Area, specifically Santa Clara County.  He handles criminal cases ranging from traffic matters to serious felonies.

​

Mr. Coughlin enjoys spending time with his family and friends, and working out at the gym.
