TBW Law's Founding Partner Featured in Modern Luxury Magazine
We are excited to share that Ted Wacker, founding partner of TBW Law, has been featured in a compelling spotlight interview with Modern Luxury magazine. The feature offers an intimate look at the journey and philosophy of one of Orange County's most respected personal injury attorneys.
From his early days as a competitive soccer player in Seattle to becoming a distinguished trial attorney, Wacker's path to legal excellence has been marked by determination and passion. Following in the footsteps of his father, a Seattle judge, Wacker graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1991, launching what would become a remarkable career in personal injury law.
His legal journey includes pivotal experiences that shaped his approach to advocacy, including work on the historic Exxon Valdez Oil Spill case during his clerkship at Casey Gerry. After gaining valuable experience at Robinson Calcagnie under the mentorship of legendary attorney Mark P. Robinson, Jr., Wacker founded TBW Law in Newport Beach, creating a firm dedicated to fighting for justice on behalf of individuals facing personal tragedy.
The Modern Luxury feature highlights Wacker's impressive track record, including a $51 million Vioxx verdict and significant settlements of $12.65 million for a brain injury case and $21.2 million against U-Haul. These achievements reflect the firm's commitment to their motto, "Perseverance with Passion," which has guided their practice since its founding in 2014.
As a former President of the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association and member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, Wacker emphasizes the importance of balancing zealous advocacy with professional civility. His approach draws interesting parallels between his athletic background and legal practice, viewing both as arenas where excellence is achieved through disciplined adherence to rules and ethical principles.
The legacy of legal excellence continues in the Wacker family, with his daughter Kelly currently pursuing her law degree at USD Law School, following in both her father's and grandfather's footsteps. This generational commitment to justice underscores the enduring values that have made TBW Law a trusted name in personal injury litigation.
This recognition by Modern Luxury magazine celebrates not just Ted Wacker's personal achievements, but also TBW Law's ongoing commitment to providing exceptional legal representation while maintaining the highest standards of professional integrity.
