Mr. Gill began his professional career as a law clerk for the judges of the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach. In 1999, he joined the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office where he gained invaluable trial experience handling all types of felony and misdemeanor cases, including D.U.I. and traffic, burglary, robbery, firearms offenses, sexual assault and murder cases.
In 2004, Gill left the prosecutor’s office to begin his personal injury trial practice. Since then, he has represented hundreds of injury victims in state and federal courts all over Virginia.
Mr. Gill takes special pride in the many catastrophic injury cases he has handled over the years, including wrongful death, spinal cord, and traumatic brain injuries because he believes these are the victims who need help the most. He has also represented many families against nursing homes and other care facilities in cases involving elderly neglect and abuse.
In addition to his trial duties, Mr. Gill is Chairman of Smith Law Center’s Worker’s Compensation Division and will assist in the Sports Concussion Division. He represents injury victims before the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Gill has helped his clients win millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts, including numerous cases against large corporations.
“We are extremely excited to begin working with Stewart. Not only is Stewart an excellent attorney with a wealth of real-life brain injury and other catastrophic injury litigation experience, he will complement our growing practice by allowing us to offer even more expanded services to our clients all over the country,” said Stephen M. Smith, founder of the Brain Injury Law Center.
Outside of the firm, Stewart loves spending time with his wife, Allison, and their daughter. Stewart is an avid outdoor enthusiast and loves spending time at the beach with his family.
