A Century of Commitment

When the founders of Wild, Carter & Tipton began representing the firm’s first clients in 1893, they pledged to provide each one with the highest quality legal service possible.

To the firm’s founders, Orlen Lee Everts, David S. Ewing, and Mount K. Wild, quality service meant looking at legal issues from the client’s particular point of view and considering problems within the context of the client’s overall goals and objectives. With the client’s ultimate best interest as a guidepost, they used their legal expertise to shape solutions that would be most advantageous to the client, both in the short and long-term.

Over a century later, Wild, Carter & Tipton carries on that tradition of total commitment to each client’s individual needs by providing quality service.

Originating Members

We pay tribute to the originating members of the law firm started by Orlen Lee Everts and David S. Ewing. The third member of the firm was Mount K. Wild, followed by Mr. Everts’ son Frank G. Everts, and then Mr. Wild’s son M. Gordon Wild and, later, grandson M. Bruce Wild. Through the generations, a standard of excellence and dedication has enabled the firm to meet the needs of its clients; this standard has remained for over 125 years.
