PATRICK SADOWSKI, Eastman & Smith Ltd.

Patrick Sadowski joined the Eastman & Smith Ltd. law firm in 2008 to help grow its Findlay presence. At that time, the Findlay office had two attorneys and three staff, but now has five attorneys, five staff, and is looking to add an additional attorney due to increased workload.

He is currently general counsel for one of the first Brazilian-based manufacturing companies to locate to Ohio and is counsel for numerous local, regional, and international companies, nonprofit organizations, and individuals. He is one of only three attorneys in Hancock County to be licensed in Florida as well as Ohio. In 2014, he was named Ohio Rising Star by Ohio Super Lawyers, the only attorney in Hancock County to receive this designation. In addition, he was a 2014 Findlay-Hancock County Chamber of Commerce Professional of the Year nominee, and a 2013 American Red Cross Volunteer Leadership Award recipient.
