About Gary

In 1980, at the age of 24, Gary began practicing law in Wilmington, North Carolina, and founded his own firm two years later. Gary is recognized throughout the State of North Carolina for his effectiveness and skills in the courtroom, and has handled more than 100 jury trials to verdict during his career. He has handled cases ranging from medical negligence to catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death; products liability to consumer fraud and protection; condemnation to complex civil litigation. He has served as lead counsel and/or co-lead counsel in various national class actions. In 1991, Gary received the prestigious Addison Hewlett Award for his pro-bono work. In 1992, he secured the largest two verdicts in the State of North Carolina for that year. Gary is a frequent lecturer on issues ranging from trial advocacy skills to products liability. Gary was featured in a 1998 article in the Triangle Business Journal entitled "Ten To Watch: Attorneys that have an impact on North Carolina Business."

On May 8 of 2000, he was featured on the front page of the Wilmington star news. The article outlined Mr. Shipman's numerous strengths in the courtroom; most importantly his aggressive nature and his work ethic.

Gary was named North Carolina Super Lawyers 2nd year in a row.

Gary was also named to the Best Lawyers in America.

Despite a busy professional life, Gary maintains strong ties to the community. He is frequently called upon to speak to students about the law, and is a frequent guest on community radio programs.
