Our Litigator of the Week is McGuireWoods partner George Terwilliger III for a win that the Washington Post described as a “stunning reversal for the government” and the Chicago Tribune called “virtually unheard of in a high-profile corruption case.”

Terwilliger represented Aaron Schock, a former Republican congressman from Illinois who was indicted in 2016 on 24 felony counts including wire fraud, mail fraud, theft of government funds and filing false tax returns. (You might recall him as the congressman who lavishly decorated his office a la “Downton Abbey.”)
