Prior to founding Delahunty & Edelman, Patrick was a federal prosecutor. For nearly eight years, he investigated and litigated fraud cases, including securities fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, mail fraud, wire fraud, and health care fraud. Many of his cases involved parallel government civil investigations, such as SEC enforcement actions and False Claims Act investigations. As an AUSA, Patrick was tasked with training new AUSAs about the prosecution of fraud cases and the interplay between commonly investigated financial crimes. He also coordinated a multi-agency financial crimes task force with a number of law enforcement stake holders, and served as the Health Care Fraud Coordinator for his office. His background in diverse white collar matters enables him to provide focused advice about navigating similar investigations and prosecutions.
