In this heartfelt episode of "Celebrating Justice," Jon Groth, founder of Groth Law Firm, S.C. in Wisconsin, reflects on a career rooted in doing the right thing—even when no one else will. From his blue-collar upbringing to a short-lived dream of jazz saxophone stardom, Groth’s path to personal injury law was shaped by grit, gratitude, and an unwavering commitment to helping others. “Helping others with strategy,” as he puts it, is where he thrives.
Groth shares the emotional story behind a half-million-dollar verdict for a client injured while visiting Wisconsin — a case built not just on skill, but on connection, perseverance, and empathy. He also recounts a recent $6 million dog mauling verdict in a case with no clear recovery path. “Other attorneys would not look at this case,” Groth says. But he did, because, as he reminds us, “It really comes down to four words: do the right thing.”
Whether he’s driving seven hours round trip for a deposition or opening a coffee shop door for a struggling mom, Groth’s message is clear: small actions, big impacts. This episode is a powerful tribute to standing tall for justice — even when the odds say walk away.
