Patrick Archibald combines a passion for public service with an impressive academic background and dedication to supporting local communities. Originally from Wilkesboro, NC, Patrick grew up in a family that owned the local newspaper, which instilled in him an appreciation for the role of local government and its influence on everyday life. Now based in Raleigh, he has spent the last six years building a career focused on public sector services and litigation, where he now works closely with local governments to help them navigate legal challenges and better serve their communities.

Patrick holds a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in History from UNC Chapel Hill, a J.D. from Campbell Law (where he graduated cum laude), and a Master’s of Public Administration from NC State University. His legal experiences are equally diverse, including an externship with Judge Lucy Inman of the NC Court of Appeals, an internship with the General Counsel for the NC Department of Agriculture, and practicing real estate law with a law firm serving clients ranging from first-time homebuyers to real estate investors from across the state.

Patrick’s work centers on empowering local governments to create positive, tangible changes. He finds fulfillment in knowing that his contributions directly impact the well-being of North Carolina residents, making his work especially meaningful.

Outside the office, Patrick enjoys an active lifestyle, often running marathons, playing tennis, and dabbling in the ever-popular game of pickleball. He and his wife, Ginna, love exploring Raleigh’s food scene and catching live music, with Patrick always eager for a good bluegrass show. He’s also an ardent supporter of his favorite teams: the UNC Tarheels, Carolina Panthers, and Carolina Hurricanes. Known for his diligence, compassion, and work ethic, Patrick is a steady advocate for his clients and community alike.
