What makes your firm unique?

At Wimberly Lawson Wright Daves & Jones, PLLC, we use a number of preventive and cost-effective methods. An example of our preventive philosophy is the review of our clients’ compliance posture in their employment practice and employee benefit programs. These reviews are designed to maximize employee benefit dollars as well as to avoid costly legal problems. While our lawyers remain successful in representing our clients’ interests in union organizing campaigns, employment law litigation matters, and immigration and nationality issues, our distinction rests on this preventive law philosophy.

Wimberly Lawson also renders more traditional legal services. In addition to the firm’s well-proven approach to preventive maintenance, its sophisticated litigation practice ranges from proceedings before state and federal governmental agencies, to trials at all levels of state and federal courts. The firm’s attorneys have successfully defended against all types of labor, employment, general, and professional liability claims. Our affiliated firms have successfully defended class actions, trade secrets, tax, pension, and benefit lawsuits.
