Having started his career with 15 years in the healthcare industry, Adam Fitzpatrick brings a unique and comprehensive perspective to his work as an attorney. Adam's experience in both hospital and pre-hospital settings, as well as work as a fire fighter and paramedic, shaped his understanding of healthcare and medicine and particularly inform his work as a litigator defending providers from medical malpractice claims. His work also encompasses a range of general liability defense cases, from personal injury to large construction losses.

Prior to joining Corneille Law Group, Adam served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Juan Colás, Julie Genovese, and Rhonda Lanford at the Dane County Circuit Court.
