Background

Patrick A. Malone is the founding partner of Patrick Malone & Associates, P.C. in Washington, D.C., a nationally recognized trial lawyer focused on medical malpractice, product liability, and serious personal injury cases. Before practicing law, he was an award-winning investigative journalist with United Press International and the Miami Herald, where his medical reporting series 'Dangerous Doctors' was a 1980 Pulitzer Prize finalist. After earning his J.D. from Yale Law School in 1984 - where he won the Harlan Fiske Stone and Potter Stewart Prizes for moot court, the C. LaRue Munson Prize, and edited the Yale Law Journal - he clerked for U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell. In more than 40 years of practice he has represented clients seriously injured by negligent doctors, hospitals, manufacturers, and corporations, and is a frequent author and lecturer on advocacy, cross-examination, and patient safety.
