John Garrett Westrick

It is rare to find an attorney who is willing to fight unpopular causes, to represent the weak against the powerful. Mr. Westrick represented me in ethics matters before the Minnesota Office of Lawyer's Professional Responsibility and in an appeal of discipline to the Minnesota Supreme Court. He wa...s successful in getting the discipline cut in half and we prevailed, in part, on a very important issue, on appeal. Prior attorneys had declined, or withdrawn from, representation and wanted me to admit to things which I had not done, for convenience rather than honor. John G. Westrick, Esquire, in contrast, was willing to fight for my honor. Allegations from three powerful judges, and a crafty opposing counsel, in a six-year, relentless OLPR prosecution, are hard to fight. A former marine, like my father, he knows it is not the result of the battle, but the courage displayed in it, which matters. If you need a "man in the arena," I highly recommend Attorney and Counselor Westrick.
