Oriented approach, meaning we like to see what the client’s goals are at the beginning. We try to look for the best approach to achieve their goals, whether that’s settling early if that’s what their end goal is, or if they would like to litigate this to conclusion, we try to achieve that as best we can through different litigation techniques.
I’ve been working with Rob Eckard for five years now, so he’s been a good mentor for me as far as learning. He’s taught me a lot of different things relating to the business of the law, as well as just practical aspects of trying cases and litigating cases. Rob’s taught me that you don’t shoot without having a target in mind. You don’t shoot first and then aim; you figure out what the goal is and make sure you have the best approach to reaching that goal.

Palm Harbor, FL business litigation attorney Drew K. Patterson discusses the philosophy that guides his work and his mentor in the practice. He points out that non-compete agreements must be reasonable and comply with statutory requirements. The governing statute establishes presumptive reasonableness regarding the scope, geographic reach, and the interests protected. This means the agreement must serve a legitimate purpose and have a reasonable duration, as outlined in the law. When drafting a non-compete, he emphasizes the importance of ensuring full compliance with these statutory standards to safeguard its enforceability.
