About Patterson Law

Patterson Law was founded in January 2025 by Brent Patterson with one intention: to build a Piedmont personal injury firm where clients work directly with their attorney at every stage, not handed off to case managers the moment the retainer is signed.

Brent Patterson, Personal Injury Lawyer in North Carolina

Brent Patterson is a personal injury attorney and co-founding partner of Patterson Law, based in Kannapolis, NC. His practice covers car and truck accidents, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, wrongful death, and catastrophic injury cases throughout Cabarrus, Rowan, and Gaston counties.


Before co-founding Patterson Law, Brent built his practice at a larger regional firm, developing trial experience and a client base that arrived almost entirely through referrals. That referral pattern followed him to Patterson Law, because it was never a marketing strategy. It is the natural result of clients who felt genuinely represented telling the people they care about.


Brent lectures Continuing Legal Education courses for other North Carolina attorneys. When peers in the legal profession choose you to teach them, it reflects a standard of knowledge and practice that a firm's advertising cannot manufacture.
