Meet Patti Ramseur
It all started with a mock trial in 9th-grade Civics class. At that time, I knew I wanted to be a trial attorney (or professional basketball player). Fast forward a few years. At Wake Forest University School of Law, I was fortunate to participate in the Trial Team and was soon “trying” more cases than many attorneys do during their careers.
Yet, nothing is like the real thing. I thoroughly enjoy litigating and arbitrating cases, particularly the strategy involved during each phase of a case. As intense and exciting as trials are, the most rewarding part of my practice is the opportunity to work with wonderful clients who work tirelessly to do the right thing for their employees and their businesses.
Over the last twenty-one years, I have focused on employment and commercial cases—for employers of all sizes, from non-profits to publicly traded companies. My practice involves advising employers and litigating claims under Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, the FLSA, the FMLA, and the REDA as well as claims of sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, wage and hour disputes, breach of contract, non-compete, and misappropriation of trade secrets.
This is what I do.
