Patrick D. Deem has been practicing law for more than 50 years. This year his career will end where it began, with Steptoe & Johnson. In honor of his long-time service, Steptoe & Johnson donated a painting to the Art Museum of WVU, a cause that Deem and his wife Alison have supported for many years.
