About Joe Gordon
Joe Gordon Jr. graduated from Stanford Law School in 1964 and has been part of Washington's legal landscape since then. His path began with a history degree from Stanford University in 1961, followed by three years of legal study. Those years shaped a career that has stayed rooted in the Pacific Northwest.
After earning his J.D., he remained engaged in the state's legal community. He is admitted to practice in Washington and before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Those credentials have allowed him to work on matters that cross both state and federal lines.
He serves as Of Counsel at Gordon Thomas Honeywell LLP. In that role he provides seasoned counsel to the firm and its clients. His position is a bridge between long experience and the daily demands of modern practice, helping guide litigation strategy and offering perspective on complex procedural questions.
Gordon's professional life includes memberships in several civic and legal organizations. He is a member of the Washington State Courts Historical Society, the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association, the Washington State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. These affiliations connect him to peers, continuing legal education and the broader history of the courts in which he practices.
Colleagues describe him as a steady presence in court corridors and conference rooms. He has spent decades working with clients, judges and other lawyers in the region. That longevity gives him an institutional sense of how local practice and federal procedure interact, and it informs the advice he gives today.
He continues to practice in Washington and before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Now serving as Of Counsel at Gordon Thomas Honeywell LLP, he advises clients on matters arising in state and federal court.
