Wearmouth

Joe Wearmouth has practiced law in the private or public sector for almost 20 years. After graduating as the valedictorian from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 2009, he practiced complex civil litigation at an AmLaw 100 firm in Minneapolis and then at a satellite office of a major southeastern law firm in Houston. His clients have ranged from international corporations to owners of small shrimping vessels. Joe relocated to El Paso in 2015 and worked as in-house litigation attorney for federal law enforcement agencies, including as lead counsel for a multi-agency intelligence center and as a special assistant United States attorney prosecuting felony drug and firearm offenses on the U.S./Mexico border. He also spent two years as a staff attorney for the Texas Eighth Court of Appeals. 

Joe grew up in small-town Iowa where he gained a deep understanding and respect for the famous Midwest work ethic. He studied history and wrestled at Central College in Pella, Iowa before he moved to Minnesota for law school. He currently lives in El Paso with his wife, two daughters, and their English bulldog.
