Our Team

Decades of Rigorous Legal Advocacy Informed by Trauma Science.

A practice built on two rare foundations: investigative experience from inside law enforcement, and advanced post-graduate training in the physiology of trauma.

Founder

Patricia M. Pastor, Esq.

Patricia brings decades of high-stakes civil litigation experience and an unwavering courtroom presence to complex victim advocacy. Her unique dual perspective sets a new standard for plaintiff-side representation in New York.

The Investigative Power. Informed by her prior service in law enforcement investigating sex crimes and child abuse, Patricia possesses intimate knowledge of how institutional cover-ups operate and where corporate evidence is hidden. She knows exactly how to build an airtight case from day one.

The Physiological Edge. Recognizing that traditional legal frameworks frequently fail survivors, Patricia completed three years of advanced, post-graduate study with the Somatic Experiencing® International (SEI) Trauma Institute. She is a published author on the integration of trauma science and civil litigation. By understanding the precise biology that governs a client’s responses and functional capacity, Patricia effectively translates the hidden, somatic realities of trauma into powerful courtroom data—ensuring her clients are fiercely protected while she relentlessly pursues maximum institutional accountability.
