Robert Wright

Rob grew up in a small town on the Olympic Peninsula. He attended Central Washington University and spent the first several years after his graduation working as an Emergency Medical Technician, Wildland Firefighter, and ultimately, a Security Police Officer at a Naval Base. After interning with a local attorney, Rob made the decision to attend law school. Rob graduated summa cum laude from Gonzaga University School of Law and during his time there, earned CALI Excellence for the Future Awards in seven classes, published a law review article, served as an Executive Editor on the Gonzaga Journal of International Law, and won the regional appellate advocacy moot court championship. 

Rob spent the first several years of his practice assisting family law clients in navigating the complexities of divorce, child custody, and domestic violence disputes. After gaining significant litigation experience, Rob transitioned his practice to WHC Attorneys, where he utilizes his passion and experience to assist clients in a wide array of legal disputes including construction, real estate, business, and employment. In 2024, Rob joined the firm’s leadership team as a Partner, and in 2025, Rob began an additional role as an Adjunct Professor of Legal Research and Writing at Gonzaga.

When Rob is not in the office, he enjoys spending his time with his wife and two kids, competing in Ironman triathlons, being in the outdoors, and cheering on his favorite sports teams. Rob is also an avid sports card collector. On Sundays, you can find Rob and his family at Summit Church on the South Hill, throwing around a baseball or football, and watching the Seahawks in their family sports den.
