Rebecca Patten

As a lifelong runner, Rebecca values health and fitness. These values carry into the practice of personal injury, where ensuring that clients receive the resources necessary for physical recovery is top priority.

Rebecca came to Bonn Law as an articling student in August 2022, and became an associate at Bonn Law after being called to the bar in January 2023. As a paralegal since 2012, Rebecca brings a wide range of experience in various courts and tribunals.

Prior to her journey in law, Rebecca obtained a BA in English from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. After living overseas for 12 years, Rebecca became a permanent resident of Canada as a US citizen. Not too long after becoming a paralegal, Rebecca took strides to become a lawyer. After earning an LLB from the University of London in 2019, Rebecca obtained a LLM from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2021.

On a personal note, you might see Rebecca out enjoying the local running trails, or soccer fields watching her son, Asher. A personal marathon record of 2 hours and 57 minutes exemplifies Rebecca’s level of commitment in all areas of work and life.

Rebecca is a member of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and the Hastings County Law Association.

Rebecca is also a member of the OTLA and committed to the OTLA Code.
