Patrick Palace
Patrick Palace is running his workers’ compensation firm with the tech skills and vision of a much larger operation. For instance, he invented PatBot, a do-it-yourself case evaluator that greets visitors to his firm’s web site by walking them through questions that identify the legal issues in each case. Patrick is also a figure in the bar leadership community, as past president of the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) and a member of the National Council for Bar Presidents (NCBP) Executive Council, where he produces webinars on the “21st Century Lawyer” for bar leaders. When Patrick’s not working to modernize the practice of law across the country he can be found crafting wines that pair with the seafood bounties of the Pacific Northwest.
