Eight decades of outstanding service is not easy to achieve, but IMW Law marked that pinnacle in 2023. The heralded firm, known as Ivie McNeill Wyatt Purcell & Diggs, celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, making it one of the oldest and largest African American-owned law firms in the nation.
Another victory for prominent Los Angeles law firm Ivie, McNeil, Wyatt, Purcell & Diggs (IMW) came recently in a case against Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD). The firm obtained a jury verdict of more than $887,000 against PUSD on September 11, 2019, after a one-week trial in Van Nuys. The jurors voted 11-1 in favor of the plaintiff, who had been a 14-year old Pasadena High School student when she was pressured into consensual sex with another student by the school’s security guard.
