About Patrick Nolan
Patrick Nolan is an estate‑planning and veterans-law attorney serving families throughout Northeast Missouri. After more than a decade in the courtroom handling thousands of criminal and family law matters, Patrick shifted his practice to help clients avoid court altogether. Today he concentrates on wills, trusts, powers of attorney, asset-protection strategies, and guiding veterans through pension and disability benefits. As a disabled veteran and former chair of the Missouri Bar’s Veterans and Military Law Committee, Patrick understands the unique challenges service members face. He applies that insight to navigate complex VA regulations and ensure veterans receive the benefits they’ve earned. Patrick also educates the public through his “Pat Talks Law” YouTube channel, which features practical guidance on estate planning, trust administration, probate avoidance, and veterans’ issues. Before practicing law, Patrick spent years as an award‑winning journalist with Scripps‑Howard and Gannett, publishing thousands of articles for outlets such as USA Today, the St. Louis Post‑Dispatch, and the Springfield News‑Leader. The investigative and communication skills he honed in journalism now inform his meticulous approach to legal work. Away from the office, Patrick is an avid woodworker who enjoys sharing his craft with his children and making toys and gifts for kids at Christmas. He coaches youth soccer, volunteers with Scouts BSA, supports the arts through local theatre, and is a past president of the North Star – Kirksville Rotary Club, where he still lives the organization’s four‑way test.
