Since 1846, our attorneys have worked to preserve the integrity and professionalism that were the hallmarks of our founder, Richard Harrison. Through several wars, the Great Depression, recessions and times of social unrest, our firm has weathered change in the nation, the states and the legal profession with resilience and growth.

Looking back, we are proud of our heritage. This pride comes from our knowledge that the success of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur is due to our commitment to clients, community and the highest standards of the legal profession. Looking to the future, Porter Wright will continue to prosper and grow by keeping the same commitment.

We are delighted to be able to share our rich history with you.
