Witherite Law Group
Witherite's playbook is documentary: they win on records the defense assumes are routine—ELD timestamps that broke a dispatcher's account in *Reyes v. Knight-Swift* (TX, 2024), a torque spec missed by 38% that became the whole trial in *Lopez v. National Tire Co.* (TX, 2025). Both verdicts ran into eight figures, with Reyes landing above policy limits, which signals a firm that builds toward technical liability rather than settlement pressure. With two open suits against book businesses and fifteen more named or targeted in their advertising, the known exposure is concentrated and the litigation theory is repeatable.
