Murray H. Wright, William H. Robinson, Jr., John B. McCammon and Franklin M. Tatum, III, founded the firm Wright, Robinson, McCammon & Tatum in 1986. The following year, Charles E. Osthimer, III, led the development of offices in San Francisco in 1987 and Los Angeles in 1988, and became a named partner. The Washington, D.C. office was opened in 1992. In 1993, John McCammon left the law practice and founded Virginia’s leading mediation firm. Upon removal of his name, the firm became what it is currently known as: Wright, Robinson, Osthimer & Tatum. From the beginning, the Firm has devoted itself to the concept that strong litigation services can be provided cost-effectively when freed from the burden of supporting nominally full-service law firms. The Firm’s original founders along with the attorneys and staff who joined them, fulfilled this vision by combining proven trial and appellate expertise with farsighted case-management, advanced technological support, and strictly controlled overhead. The Firm’s attorneys represent a range of clients from Fortune 500 corporations to professional organizations and insurance companies to private individuals – all relying on the Firm’s proven ability to manage litigation effectively at the local, regional and national levels. The geographical reach of the Firm’s offices and attorneys facilitates responsive service throughout the United States and overseas. The range of experience of the Firm’s lawyers allows clients to deal with specialists, attorneys who know the nuances of a client’s business and the unique and complex legal issues each client will confront. If a client’s interests are best served by proceeding to court, Wright, Robinson, Osthimer & Tatum is prepared with potent and adept trial and appellate services. The Firm also has great experience and success in the increasingly important alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. Counseling on contract drafting, risk management and loss prevention is likewise a major part of the Firm’s practice, helping clients avoid liability exposure before it arises. Long before “quality management” in professional services became a fashionable concept among attorneys, Wright, Robinson, Osthimer & Tatum pioneered and implemented it. If you’re looking for a modern, technologically advanced litigation firm providing the best possible legal services on a cost-effective basis, you’ve come to the right place.
