About Mitch

Mitch Wright is a senior associate practicing in a variety of areas in civil litigation. He regularly represents clients in Labor & Employment, Land Use, Personal Injury, Business Litigation, Environmental Law, and Landlord-Tenant Law. He grew up in Mukilteo and earned his B.A. in Political Science from Gonzaga University in 2014, graduating cum laude. After working as a paralegal at a litigation firm and for a county prosecutor, Mitchell attended law school at the University of Wisconsin Law School in Madison, Wisconsin. He graduated in 2022 magna cum laude and was on both Law Review and Moot Court Competitions.

Mitch’s strength as a litigator comes from his ability not only to quickly understand the issues and identify the best path to find a path for resolution of his clients’ issues, but also from his ability to communicate clearly with clients. Mitch understands that many clients rarely find themselves in need of a litigator, so he takes the time to talk through the process with his clients and fight for what his clients want most. He takes care to advise clients about the often foreign world of litigation and provide practical advice to ensure that clients are happy with the outcome. 

Mitch lives in Lakewood with his wife, his college sweetheart, their two dogs. He is an enthusiastic Seahawks and Mariners fan and enjoys hiking, golfing, and playing guitar in his spare time. 

Mitch also serves the President of the Board of Directors for Safe Streets, a local Tacoma nonprofit helping to build community relationships, aid with youth development, and keep our beautiful neighborhoods safe. He also volunteers at Sheridan Elementary, helping tutor students with reading and math.
