General Info

- Roger White founded the firm in 1968 and was joined by Kendrick Scott in 1981. Christopher White resigned his partnership in a Chicago law firm to join the practice in 2002. Kristie Fingerhut, our only associate, was brought on in 2004. WSW is now and always has been located at its present address, representing litigants in Lake County, Illinois. Few other firms can boast of being such a long-standing presence on the North Shore and in Lake County. - WSW will only take your case if there is a dispute that may give rise to litigation in Lake County. Confining our focus in this way gives us a familiarity with Lake County judicial process that a law firm with a broader geographical presence might not have. - WSW is a small firm and is committed to staying that way. Lawyers at larger firms tend to have commitments to more clients spread across courts throughout Cook and the collar counties. Our size and narrow focus on Lake County ensures that the lawyer who appears in court for you will be someone you know, someone who knows your case, and someone who knows how things get done in the courtroom where your case will be decided.
