Bio

Patterson S. Weaver, an accomplished trial attorney and former prosecutor, is the Owner and Managing Attorney of Peakstone Law Group, LLC (formerly known as Patterson Weaver Law). Mr. Weaver’s practice focuses on Probate and Probate Litigation, Criminal Defense, and Personal Injury. In the decade since founding his own firm, Mr. Weaver has developed a niche practice in representing wronged clients in high-asset probate litigations, and in particular will contest and contested inheritance cases.

Patterson S. Weaver was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Upon graduating high school, he attended Penn State University, where he majored in Political Science with minors in both Religious Studies as well as Economics. After graduation, Mr. Weaver attended Duquesne University, where he studied for his Masters of Science in Secondary Education (M.S.Ed.) and was named a Dean's Teaching Fellow. Out of a love for the mountains and the outdoors, Patterson then moved to Colorado and taught High School Social Studies for three years. The school’s chapter of the National Honors Society honored him as the Teacher of the Year in just his second year.

While Mr. Weaver loved teaching high school students, needing a new challenge, he applied to and was accepted into the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Patterson excelled in law school, both academically and in extracurricular activities. Patterson graduated in the top 20% of his class, while participating heavily in Mock Trial and Moot Court activities of all varieties. Patterson competed and placed highly in a number of intra-school Mock Trial and Moot Court competitions, including winning the Hoffman Cup Mock Trial Competition, DU Law’s most competitive and prestigious trial competition. Mr. Weaver also placed second in the ABA Negotiations competition, and very highly in a number of additional trial, motions, and appellate competitions. Mr. Weaver was selected for the ABA, AAJ, and NACDL traveling trial teams, on which he performed with distinction against some of the most talented young trial-oriented law students in the country. Additionally, Patterson was selected for the DU Law ABA Regional and National Negotiations Teams. Perhaps the greatest honor Patterson received in law school was when his peers, the law school student body, selected Patterson as the school's Most Outstanding Barrister for 2008-2009.

Patterson’s success in law school was not limited to competitions. While in his second year at DU Law, Mr. Weaver was recognized by the Criminal Law Clinic with the Outstanding Student Award for his tireless and successful efforts in defending indigent clients in low-level criminal cases.

After law school, Mr. Weaver obtained a position as a County Court Deputy District Attorney with the 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office, where he prosecuted misdemeanor and traffic cases of all varieties. Patterson quickly rose to the position of a Felony Prosecutor, and handled a large variety of felony cases with great success. While with the 4th District DA's Office, Patterson was awarded the Complex Prosecution Award by the Pikes Peak Region DUI Taskforce for his work preparing for and trying a Shreck hearing on the admissibility of Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) testimony in DUI trials.

In 2011, Patterson took his experience as a felony prosecutor into private practice, working as a Criminal Defense Attorney for a fairly large local firm, where he represented clients in cases ranging from high level felonies to municipal court speeding tickets to pursuing and defending against protection orders.

Patterson left the firm in late 2012 to open his own law practice, Patterson Weaver Law, LLC (now known as Peakstone Law Group), where he is the Owner and Managing Attorney. In this capacity, Patterson has been the principal attorney on multiple multi-million dollar probate litigations, in addition to managing a thriving criminal defense and DUI practice.
