WSBA 50-Year Member Tribute Luncheon


On November 10, 54 attorneys will be honored by the President of the Washington State Bar Association, the Board of Governors, and the entire association for 50 years of championing justice. The luncheon event, held at the Sheraton Hotel Ballroom in downtown Seattle, is an annual gathering to congratulate our state’s long-standing legal champions.

Included in this auspicious group are Gary Linden and Jerry Thonn. Gary joined both WSBA and Helsell Fetterman in 1960 while Jerry joined the law firm in 1990. Both attorneys received their law degrees from Columbia University. Gary’s practice specializes in business and real estate transactions, Jerry’s emphasizes civil lawsuits with a focus on insurance defense and insurance coverage cases.
