Patrick Wolf
Patrick Wolf is a civil litigation attorney who strives to provide his clients with the perfect balance of aggressive representation and cost–effective dispute resolution.
With this goal in mind, Patrick efficiently resolves disputes for clients of all sizes and types, from small family–owned businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Patrick has defended clients from allegations of fraud totaling more than $300,000,000.00 and negotiated settlements that disbursed assets worth more than $150,000,000.00 among the involved parties. However, Patrick has also represented individuals in cases with as little as $3000 at issue. Because of this wide-ranging experience, Patrick will zealously represent you, regardless of whether your case is worth $300,000,000 or $3000.
Most of Patrick's work involves clients and cases in the energy, real estate, finance, healthcare, and tech industries. However, in addition to his litigation practice, Patrick regularly advises local startups and cryptocurrency entities on formation and governance issues.
Patrick graduated cum laude from the University of North Carolina School of Law. While at UNC, Patrick was a member of the North Carolina Law Review, won awards for his trial and appellate advocacy, clerked in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and became a published author in the field of federal Native American law.
Prior to joining Terrazas PLLC, Patrick was an associate at an AmLaw 100 firm.
