Ind. Law - "My Big Break" features Parr Richey attorney

The Indianapolis Star's occasional Sunday feature, "My Big Break," today focuses on Tony Patterson, partner at Parr Richey Obremskey & Morton in Lebanon. Patterson relates that upon graduation from law school he did not land "one of the coveted big-firm jobs" and that, in fact, was his big break:

I went to work at Parr Richey Obremskey & Morton in Lebanon. The firm had 11 lawyers, and because of its relatively small size, I was given the opportunity to gain immediate access to the courtroom. In fact, within months of starting, I was trying my first jury trial. I am now in my 15th year of practice and have tried numerous cases and have been fortunate enough to do what I love while helping hundreds of accident and injury victims across Indiana and throughout the Midwest.

Many of my classmates who landed those coveted positions with the big firms took much longer to find their way to the courtroom and very seldom, if ever, were given the opportunity to work with their own clients.

Patterson "was named the 2007 Indiana Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association."
