EGGERMAN, DONALD G.: A MEMBER of the Seattle bar who is rapidly attaining 
marked distinction as a trial lawyer is Donald G. Eggerman, member of the firm 
of Bausman, Oldham, Bullitt & Eggerman.  Mr. Eggerman is a native of Ohio, and 
was born in 1881.  His early educational training was in public schools, 
following which he attended Wooster College, of Wooster, Ohio, from which he 
graduated in 1903 with the degree of Ph. D.  Three years later Mr. Eggerman 
graduated from the University of Michigan with the degree of LL. B. Until 1917 
he practiced his profession in Shawnee, Okla., being a member of the firm of 
Lydick & Eggerman.  It was in the latter year that he came to Seattle to make 
his home, and became a member of the present firm of Bausman, Oldham, Bullitt 
& Eggerman, in 1919  As a trial lawyer, I do not believe he has a superior in 
the state, and the marked success with which he has met in that connection is 
the best indication of his high ability.  Members of the judiciary do not 
hesitate to commend him for the the high standard he has set in all of his 
court work.  He is alert, perservering, and consistent in his efforts, and 
presents an argument with telling effect.  His practice is along general 
lines.  Mr. Eggerman is what I would call a practical, self-made man.  By this 
I mean that the success that has come to him, has come as a result of merit, 
and not through friendship or political favortism.  In 1916 Mr. Eggerman 
married Miss Dorothy Bostick.  He is a member of the Rainier club, Artic club, 
Chamber of Commerce and Commercial cluc, Inglewood Country club, Elks and 
Shrine.  He is also a member of the county, state and national bar 
associations, and is a Knight Templar and thirty-second degree Mason.
