History:
Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver, P.L.L.C. (DGW) started in 1999, becoming Dunlap & Grubb in early 2002. In late 2004 Jeff Weaver (JD/ MBA) formerly of Hill, Ward & Henderson and John Whitbeck joined as partners. In 2005, the firm formalized an agreement with Maier & Maier of Alexandria who then joined as DGW's patent counsel.

Background:
Our diverse background is a powerful asset in assisting you with your legal issue. Rather than looking at the problem from a narrow point of view, we incorporate the collective backgrounds of our diverse attorney group which includes patent attorneys and agent, experienced litigators and business attorneys.

Future Plans:
The firm looks forward to continued strategic alliances with other firms.
