Biography

Patrick Dooley has never had a case he could not handle. As a child splitting time between rural Oklahoma and the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip (there’s a story there), his nickname was “Baby Mad-Dog”. This name captures the fight that was in him since birth and is still in him today. But he can’t be all that feisty, because he and his wife, Angie Dooley just celebrated 31 years of marriage.

Having survived a childhood which included multiple divorces, family violence, and even residing in a few battered women’s shelters, Patrick’s life experiences have shaped him to be fearless in the courtroom yet compassionate with his clients. According to Kelly, “I now get to work everyday with a lawyer who would be my personal first call if I ever needed one.”

Patrick also offers commercial litigation experience. He represents small to mid-sized companies from various industries in matters of Business Formation, Business Transactions, and Business Litigation.

To quote him directly, his motto is “to pursue peace, prepare for war.”

Patrick received his Juris Doctorate and Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Law Enforcement from the University of Oklahoma. Patrick is a member of the State Bar of Texas and the Tarrant County Family Law Bar Association.
