Patrick Bageant grew up mostly off the grid in the woods of Northern Idaho - often without running water or a phone line. Later, Patrick graduated from the University of Idaho and worked as a municipal firefighter, Advanced EMT, and helicopter rappeler for the U.S. Forest Service. While fighting wildfires and leading rescue missions across the West, Patrick was recognized for his leadership in emergencies including his work in rescuing four people trapped in an underwater van, delivering life-saving medical care to three victims of a backcountry plane crash, and leading the team first-on-scene to a quadruple-fatality helicopter crash.
Ready for another challenge, Patrick earned a law degree from UC Berkeley and now provides legal counsel across the country. Patrick has tried cases to federal juries, arbitrators, and the United States International Trade Commission. His expertise is in business and intellectual property disputes, notable among them recovering a seven-figure settlement from an investment advisory firm that had placed his clients' retirement accounts into a Ponzi scheme. In 2016, Bageant received the Washington State Bar's Pro Bono Publico award for his dedication to providing free legal services to indigent and disadvantaged persons.
Outside of the office, Patrick is an enthusiastic guitar player, woodworker, and archery hunter. For at least a portion of each day on any week you are likely to find him and his bird dogs Tig and Coach somewhere between five feet and five miles past the end of a dirt road in Idaho’s portion of the west’s upper great basin.
A graduate of Leadership Boise and named one of the Treasure Valley's "Accomplished Under 40," Patrick Bageant serves on various boards, including the Treasure Valley Chapter of the North American Versatile Hunting Dogs Association, and the the University of Idaho's College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences' Advisory Council.
