Firm History
Our Firm was founded by George Hammond Mirick in 1916, with a practice that focused on real estate, corporate, estate and trial matters. In the ensuing years, Paul Revere O’Connell, Sr. (1930), Gardener Graves DeMallie (1936) and Laurence Hodgdon Lougee (1955) joined Attorney Mirick to form Mirick, O’Connell, DeMallie & Lougee. Richard Walter Mirick came on board in 1952 shortly before his father George’s passing in 1953. While the Firm has been fortunate to see additional second and third generation attorneys join the practice, John O. Mirick remains the last namesake attorney at the Firm.
While our legal name remains the same, in 2009, we made the strategic decision to abbreviate our brand name to Mirick O’Connell, more recently to simply, “Mirick” to better align with how clients and the community most commonly identify us. Our commitment to excellence in all that we do, whether providing legal services or giving back to the community, has remained steadfast throughout our 100-year history.
