Patrick Parsa's strong interest in workers’ compensation law led him to a multi-office firm headquartered in Orange County, California. There he gained valuable experience on how to effectively settle cases on behalf of injured workers while aggressively defending their rights before numerous WCABs located throughout southern California. Thereafter, believing it was a better "fit" for him, Patrick sought to apply his skills to the defense side, leading him to join Bradford & Barthel’s Woodland Hills office. He now brings his unique workers’ compensation experience to bear for his clients by providing an in-depth analysis of all relevant issues while providing the best and most cost effective approach possible.
Patrick obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from UCLA in 2003 and his Juris Doctorate from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2006. After graduating from law school, he spent several years in Europe working at large international law firms representing multinational corporations and numerous countries in complex arbitration and M&A matters. Upon his return to the U.S., Patrick spent time as a prosecutor at the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office Criminal Division.
When Patrick isn’t working, he enjoys playing poker, rooting for the San Francisco 49ers and UCLA Bruins, paddleboarding and traveling.
