Corr Cronin partner Lucio Maldonado is featured in Super Lawyers magazine’s Washington 2026 edition in a profile highlighting both his path to the law and the qualities that have made him one of the firm’s rising trial lawyers.

The Super Lawyers article traces Lucio’s journey from growing up on his family’s farm in Eastern Washington to becoming the youngest partner in Corr Cronin’s history. After initially planning to return home following college, he discovered a passion for the law, graduating from Gonzaga University School of Law before clerking for Washington Supreme Court Justice Steven González and joining Corr Cronin in 2019.

The profile discusses Lucio’s collaborative approach to litigation and his ability to balance complex legal analysis with practical, client-focused solutions – qualities that have earned him the trust of colleagues and clients alike. This is illustrated with highlights from several high-profile commercial and white-collar matters he has worked on recently, including his role on the Corr Cronin team that secured eleven defense verdicts in the Monsanto Sky Valley Education Center litigation, and a meaningful pro bono settlement victory on behalf of a mother and her son.

Lucio has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in Business Litigation each year since 2022. He was elected to Corr Cronin’s partnership effective January 2025. His practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, mass toxic torts, product liability defense, appellate law, and white-collar matters.

We’re proud to see Lucio’s commitment to clients, colleagues, and the legal profession recognized in this feature.
