Legal 500 US Ranks WTO as One of Two Top Product Liability and Mass Tort Defense Firms in the Automotive Industry

DENVER: The Legal 500 United States 2012 edition ranks Wheeler Trigg O'Donnell LLP as one of two top law firms nationally for product liability and mass tort defense litigation in the automotive industry, among the top 15 firms nationally in the consumer products industry, and among the top 30 firms nationally in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry.

WTO partner Malcolm Wheeler is ranked among the top 10 lawyers nationally for product liability and mass tort defense in the automotive and consumer products industries. Clients quoted in the directory recommended Wheeler for his "practical and well-reasoned strategic thinking" and "overall case management that makes working on the most challenging matters as stress-free as possible."

Legal 500 also recommends WTO partners John Fitzpatrick, James Hooper, Edward Stewart, Jack Trigg, and Michael Williams for product liability and mass tort defense.

Based on extensive research with corporate counsel, Legal 500 reports " WTO attorneys ‘provide exceptional service in all areas including response times, legal and business acumen, and strength and depth of the team,' and ‘have achieved national respect and prominence despite operating out of a single office in Denver.'"
