Feel like this needs more than PROD. He's a practicing attorney who has been frequently mentioned in the press, but there's no evidence any of the coverage is in depth or about it. His highest profile case appears to be one to which he contributed an amicus brief, rather than took an active part in litigation. Note: he is not the Michael Patrick who is the Hofstra Dean.

- Delete as written. This appears to be an exercise in attempting to construct an appearance of notability by inheritance from tertiary relationships with notable matters. I also note that the article was created by a WP:SPA, which is never a good sign for a topic of commercial interest. BD2412 T 21:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with comments from User:BD2412. I looked on Google and other than at where he is a partner and legal listing sites I found ditto. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 22:40, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per my standards. He just has not done more than the average lawyer. Even I have been asked from time to time by the media to comment on cases, but my several appearances in Business Review and on WRPI do not make me notable. Compare Mark S. Zaid, for example.

- Delete. Practically all of the content of the article was added by WP:SPAs, which on these types of article always makes me suspicious that someone in the office of the businessperson has written and updated the article over time. Substantively, the subject has done nothing that would make him notable among attorneys. New York has no end of law firm partners who specialize in intellectual property, have written articles in law journals, and who have been on CNBC. Those facts don't make him notable.
