HISTORY
WTO THROUGH THE YEARS
Since 1998, every moment—big and small—has moved WTO forward.
1998
5 founding partners and a core group of experienced litigators launch a national civil litigation boutique with 19 lawyers and 34 staff.
“A powerhouse of top-notch litigators.”
- Client comment to Chambers USA
WTO AT 25 YEARS
Our lawyers reflect on where WTO is today.
“I’ve always considered it a real compliment that some of the largest firms in the country want to merge with WTO. It’s never been something that the partners have wanted to do—because we have something special.”
Mike O’Donnell, Founding Partner & Firm Chair
"The thing I would most like to preserve about the founding leadership style is the grace and dignity that the founders have shown.”
Marissa Ronk, Partner
“I’ve practiced law now for 60 years, and the last 25 have been the highlight of my career.”
Jack Trigg, Founding Partner
