About Patrick

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Attorney Patrick Roney presently lives within the city limits with his wife and three children. Patrick’s father recently retired from the City of Milwaukee Comptroller's Office and his mother is a retired high school librarian.

Patrick attended Our Lady of Sorrows Grade School on 64th Street, just off of Capitol Drive. He attended high school at Pius XI High School, where he played varsity volleyball. It was in high school that Patrick began his commitment to the legal profession as an intern with the Wauwatosa Police Department.

After high school, Patrick studied Psychology and Sociology at the University of Wisconsin Madison. While at UW Madison, Patrick took evening courses to become a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). To help pay his way through school, he worked part-time as an EMT for Bell Ambulance and the Elm Grove Rescue Squad.

Patrick is committed to serving the country. In 1998 he left Madison to serve as part of the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). While in AmeriCorps NCCC he worked as an EMT, wildland firefighter, disaster relief worker, and aid worker for many community projects.

Upon returning to Wisconsin, Patrick completed undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in 2000. He majored in both Psychology and Sociology.

After graduating from the UW Milwaukee, Patrick received a full scholarship to Marquette University Law School.

Patrick completed his graduate law studies and received a Juris Doctorate degree in 2004. He continues to work closely with Marquette and in 2008 he served as a coach to the Mediation Moot Court Team.
