Built on a Solid Foundation
Our history began in 1900 on the old Marion square. Warren W. Duncan, who served as Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court, and Edward E. Denison, who served eight terms as a United States Congressman laid the cornerstone of our firm. In the 1930's, Denison partnered with Ralph W. Harris, who in the 1940s and 1950s became the best known courtroom lawyer in the region. Harris partnered with Gordon Lambert in the 1960s and 1970s and together they built a reputation for tireless advocacy, honesty and integrity. Lambert then partnered with current renowned attorneys Robert H. Howerton, Douglas N. Dorris and Stephen W. Stone in the 1980s and 1990s. With the addition of Mr. Lambert's son, James R. Lambert who joined us in 2008, Howerton, Dorris & Stone continues in the great tradition started more than a century ago.
