Profile

Patrick J. Loughren is a trial lawyer who practices with his father, Lou, and brother, Matt, in the firm of Loughren, Loughren & Loughren, P.C.  He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Boston College in 1994 and his Juris Doctor from the Duquesne University School of Law in 1997.  Mr. Loughren was admitted to the practice of law in 1997 and has an active civil trial practice representing plaintiffs in actions involving medical negligence, personal injury, products liability, and insurance bad faith.  Mr. Loughren has tried jury trials in counties across Pennsylvania as well as in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.  Mr. Loughren is a member of the American Association of Justice, the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association and the Allegheny County Bar Association.  He is a past member of the Board of Governors of PAJ as well as the Duquesne University School of Law Alumni Association (2007-2008)  In 2005, Mr. Loughren was inducted into the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County becoming the organization's youngest member.  That same year, he was selected to Pennsylvania Super Lawyers (www.superlawyer.com), and then again in 2007, 2008, and 2011.  Mr. Loughren is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a group of trial lawyers who have won million dollar verdicts and settlements.

In addition to representing injured people, Mr. Loughren has taken on cases of special interest where he believes wrongful conduct has been committed on widespread basis.  In Loughren v. Lion, Mr. Loughren filed an action in Allegheny County seeking to enjoin the practice of non-lawyers engaging in the unauthorized practice of law by filing foreclosure actions throughout Pennsylvania that have not been written by a lawyer, signed by a lawyer, filed by a lawyer, or even read by a lawyer.  In the suit, Mr. Loughren seeks to stop this practice, and to restore all of the "attorneys fees" that homeowners in Pennsylvania have paid in foreclosures actions that were filed in violation of law.

Outside the practice of law, Mr. Loughren enjoys traveling around the world, reading, and songwriting.  He has attempted to integrate songwriting into charitable endeavors through projects like www.soldiersmeanmore.com, a website aimed at raising money for wounded veterans.
