Banducci Woodard Schwartzman PLLC (BWS) is an innovative civil litigation firm, located in Boise, Idaho, that serves its clients with a consistent focus on their needs, a close working relationship and skillful, efficient, innovative advocacy.
BWS focuses exclusively on complex civil litigation and class action lawsuits.
BWS represents a broad range of clients with a full gamut of complex litigation issues and cases---as counsel for defendants as well as plaintiffs. Our lawyers have extensive experience managing and trying complex civil cases in the State of Idaho, the Pacific Northwest and throughout the U.S. BWS attorneys are licensed to practice in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, New Mexico and Texas.
Tom Banducci, Wade Woodard and Ben Schwartzman have all practiced with large, regional/national law firms. Tom has been a trial attorney in Idaho since 1979, opening the Boise office of Stoel Rives LLP and serving as its managing partner for several years, where Wade Woodard also practiced as an associate attorney in the litigation group. Prior to moving back to his hometown of Boise, Ben Schwartzman practiced with Hagens Berman Sobol & Shapiro, LLP in Seattle. These attorneys bring the experience and sophistication of a larger firm to the focused, personal and results -oriented service of a smaller organization.

In August 2007, Tom Banducci and Wade Woodard secured, on a counterclaim for their clients, the largest jury verdict ever awarded in the State of Idaho.
That is our singular focus - working to insure that our clients receive the most skillful, tough minded, cost effective and successful representation possible.
