Ty Stimpson had an epiphany, of all things, through the New York Yankees. A football student-athlete at Baylor, he was in New York serving an internship with Liz Claiborne. An attorney there gave him some Yankees tickets.
“I learned that he had previously worked as an attorney for the Yankees organization,” Stimpson says. “Intrigued, I asked him what it took to become an attorney.”
He called his mother that very day and told her that he wanted to pursue the law. “She went straight to Barnes & Noble, bought LSAT prep books, and mailed them to me.”
Stimpson studied law at Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University. He also has a Master of Law from St. John’s.
After stints in the prosecutor’s offices of Dallas and Tarrant counties, Stimpson today leads Varghese Summersett’s Injury Law division.
In 2023, he was the Fort Worth Chamber’s Young Professional of the Year. That same year, he was selected winner of the 2023 Dr. Marion Brooks “Legend in the Making” Award for Law.
