The firm is thrilled to announce that Chris Wesierski was selected again as a Superstar for 2020 and has been every year since the inception of those awards.
In addition, he has been selected as one of the Orange County top 50 lawyers again as well for 2020.
32 years ago two very young lawyers founded their firm based on a business plan they formulated on a Bob’s Big Boy cocktail napkin. They began the firm November 1, 1987, with two typewriters and one two drawer file cabinet.
They hoped and dreamed that their firm would go on to conduct trials on behalf of companies and individuals who needed their help and that they would be successful. Since that date Wesierski and Zurek LLP has represented thousands of people in cases as diverse as legal malpractice, medical and dental malpractice, bad faith, intellectual property, real estate, business contracts, personal injury, product liability, and they were one of the first firms to try many employment cases starting way back in that time frame. The firm has been written up in Forbes, Bloomberg, Newsweek, the Daily Journal and many other publications.
Thanks to all who have contributed to our success through the years. I am very proud of all of you and all that this firm has accomplished in these past 32 years.
