About Ted
Biography
I have been a practicing attorney for over 30 years. I have been on the defense side for almost 10 years, and a plaintiff's attorney for nearly 20 years. I worked for 12 years at one of the top plaintiff's firms in the country at Robinson, Calcagnie & Robinson.
In 2006, I was part of the trial team in the Barnett Vioxx case with a verdict of $51 Million. In 2010, I was co-counsel in 2 verdicts that both received Top Gun awards by OCTLA including a $14.6 Million verdict and a $3.1 Million verdict for Elder Abuse.
My grandfather was an attorney and my father was an attorney, and then became a Judge in Seattle for nearly 30 years. When he passed away in 2003, King County re-named the courthouse the Robert A. Wacker Memorial building.
I was an avid soccer player growing up in Seattle and received a scholarship for my undergraduate education in San Diego where I was Team Captain my last year and the team was ranked in the top 10 in the country. During law school, I clerked for another of the country's top plaintiff's firms at Casey, Gerry. I also performed a Judicial Intership with the California Court of Appeal, 4th District, Division 1.

The Best
Mr. Wacker handled my personal injury case which resulted in a car accident. He was extremely professional and by far the best attorney I have worked with. He is very well respected by all other attorneys. If you need a personal injury attorney, Mr. Wacker is by far the best.

Ted Wacker brilliant hard working lawyer
I have known Ted for over 25 years and he has always been a hard-working and dedicated individual that I respect. Ted represented me in two cases and won both.

Ted took on the Goliath of Wholefoods!
Ted was extremely professional, personable and knows the law well. We went to trial and the defense attorney for Wholefoods had met his match. If you need representation I highly recommend Ted!
