About
Since being admitted to the practice of law in 2007, I have been a trial attorney. I spent my first five years as an assistant public defender in Bradenton, FL, where I more or less lived in a court room. I acted as trial counsel, a division chief, appellate counsel, and a liason to diversionary programs. I had the fortune of trying many jury trials, including mandatory life cases. In 2012, I started working in civil litigation in Sarasota, FL. I represented plaintiffs exclusively. This time period provided me with very valuable education. I had the benefit of very good attorney mentors who taught me an enormous amount about trial craft, negotiation strategy, and many of the finer techinical points of legal practice. In 2015, my family made the decision to move to Washington. After briefly practicing on my own, I joined the firm of Deno Millikan, PLLC. At Deno Millikan, I practice primarily in the areas of family law, criminal law, and personal injury. Working with such an experienced group of attorneys with such a broad legal background has allowed me to continue expanding my practice and get the best possible results for my clients.

I had lost all hope in getting my child support modified when I was divorced by default. No-one would help me until I came across Songy. He did fantastic. Took care of it quickly and was souly focused on helping me. I would go back to his office if I ever needed an attorney again.
When we had a dispute with our neighbor, we have searched for that compassionate and caring attorney who would represent us in court. A few interviews with several attorneys - we did not have that "gut feel" about any of them. Then we were referred to Patrick Songy. From our first conversation and explaining our troubles, he understood "on the fly" what the situation was and took good notes. Honest and sincere, he recommended a plausible course of action. Conscious of our "budget," he made sure that we achieved the results we were seeking in a short time-frame. We appreciated his "cool" during a seriously stressful time in our life and working tirelessly with opposing counsel to come to a mutual agreement that was sealed in court. Thank You Patrick!
I met Patrick when he was a public defender and I was charged with a DUI, my 3rd one...all the lawyers I talked to said I was going to jail (1yr) and losing my driver license 5yrs or longer....Well Patrick did a great job...I didnt go to jail and I lost my driver license for only 6 months, with a $250 fine and 100hr community service.....I really thought i was going to jail that day, so I was really happy! He is a great lawyer , I would always use him if I need a lawyer again.....Thanks Patrick, James S.
