This year Triplett Woolf Garretson (TWG) is celebrating our 30th year as a Law Firm. In reflecting on our law practice, we felt our brand could be improved to reflect all TWG had become. We have grown both in size and practice areas and have embraced technology to make our firm more efficient. More significantly, we wanted our brand to represent our combined knowledge and the team effort that continually innovates solutions for our clients.

In developing the new look we explored many options, but kept coming back to the simple idea that it is the TWG people and experience coming together that really benefit our clients with forward thinking solutions. We hope you agree that our new, stronger identity is a proper reflection of our evolution.

As part of our new branding, TWG has launched a new website to make it easier for clients and potential clients to find an appropriate attorney for their specific needs, as well as gain a better understanding of TWG as a law firm.

Our site focuses on how clients want to engage online with TWG, either by attorney or practice area. In some cases, clients want additional information regarding a specific attorney. The new site makes it easier to find the information you need about an attorney faster and then make direct contact with that attorney. In other cases, our clients search practice areas looking for an attorney who has experience in their area of need. The new site has expanded the list of practice descriptions and incorporates more common search terms making it easier for clients to find exactly who and what they are looking for at TWG. Finally, we then “linked” it all together to make it easy to use, whether on your tablet, at your desk or on your smart phone.

The new TWG site also serves as a resource for clients, as TWG attorneys have a platform to communicate firm news and changing legislation that may impact you, your business or your community.
