| My name is Patrick Rocchio. I have been an attorney since 1972, following graduation from Notre Dame Law School. I have had a license to practice law in Michigan since February, 1976. I formerly had an Indiana law license obtained immediately following law school but it is inactive and no longer used for my Michigan based law practice.
After three plus years of active duty with the United States Navy's Judge Advocate General Corp (JAG), I established my personal residence and a new law office in Coldwater, Michigan, in February, 1976. At that time, my family included my spouse, Theresa, and our son, Benedict, in his first year of life.
Over the years, the family grew to five children, and my law practice in Coldwater developed based upon a simple marketing plan: provide quality personalized legal services to appreciative clients. In 1988, my law office relocated to a new building constructed for my use at 375 West Chicago Street, in Coldwater.
My family 's residence changed to the shores of Lake Michigan, nearby New Buffalo, Michigan, in September, 2002. However, the Coldwater law office remains fully staffed, and my commitment to its success is unchanged. I am present at least three days each week in Coldwater, and spend the other days working files either at my home office or on the road, attending depositions, appearing at court hearings, or conducting jury trials in Branch or neighboring counties in Michigan.
My law practice in Coldwater provides legal services focused upon all types of insurance compensation and personal injury claims, and Social Security disability. I do not provide services for criminal matters or domestic relations disputes such as divorces, child support, and custody issues.
Theresa and I first visited Coldwater in October, 1975, while on leave from the Navy and conducting our search for a community where we could locate after my anticipated discharge from the Navy in January, 1976. We found that home in Coldwater, and we have never regretted that decision.
Branch County is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. The best of its resources is the people who live in Branch County: hard working, resourceful, kind, and friendly, just the type of person that makes our country the great land it is. I am thankful to have been, and will be grateful to remain forever, a part of life in Branch County.
