Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Patrick C. Burpee attended the University of Georgia, where he pursued a degree in political science and pre-law, graduating with honors (cum laude; Phi Kappa Phi). After college studies, Mr. Burpee worked in Kodiak, Alaska, and while living there, assisted landowners and Alaska Natives with claims against Exxon resulting from the 1989 Valdez oil spill.

However, he also represents Washington residents in Fair Debt Collection defense cases.

An avid trail runner, Mr. Burpee has competed in marathons, multi-day relays and ultra marathons throughout the Northwest and Alaska. If you don't see him at his office working on your case, you may see him on the trails.
