This year marks the 40th anniversary of John Messina’s entry into the field of law.  As a loyal, native son of Tacoma, John kept his promise to himself and his loved ones and returned to his hometown to practice, after spending four years at the Gonzaga School of Law where he graduated first in his class and served as the editor of the Law Review. 

 

His early years of legal practice had him doing everything from defending those accused of crime to assisting people who had to file for bankruptcy.  Within a few years, he started concentrating exclusively on plaintiffs’ personal injury law.  To read The News Tribune's story about John, click here.

 

John is still going strong, and his illustrious career was recently celebrated during a private party featuring past and present employees, friends and family.  Congratulations John!
