Syprett Meshad Firm Administrator Patricia A. Blaney-Roby celebrated 35 years of employment with the Sarasota law firm on December 28, 2019.

Hired in 1984 as a delivery and errand “runner” with no legal experience, Patricia impressed the firm’s partners with her follow-through, reliability, and management skills. Over the years, she was consistently given opportunities for growth within the firm, moving through positions in accounting, human resources, and ultimately assuming her role as Firm Administrator in 1999.

As Administrator, Patricia is responsible for managing accounting, overseeing administrative personnel and human resources, and facilitating day-to-day operations for the firm’s 11-member team of attorneys. She frequently spearheads the firm’s support of organizations such as the Humane Society of Sarasota County and Girls, Inc.

Born in Brockton, Massachusetts, Patricia moved to Florida during the fall of 1973, and has made her home in Sarasota since. She graduated from Booker High School in 1983, and attended Manatee Jr. College from 1983 to 1984.
