Hometown: Yardley
DOB: 7/13/51
As an attorney for over 30 years and a Bucks County resident for over 20 years, Gary Gilman is the most qualified candidate to serve our Bucks County community as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1976, Gary served as a judicial law clerk for former Bucks County Judge Edmund V. Ludwig, and then served as a public defender for 2½ years while a resident of Doylestown Borough. He then spent 6 years in the Office of Attorney General of Pennsylvania, defending Commonwealth agencies and Commonwealth employees in a variety of civil cases, many of them highly complex, in which they were named as Defendants. His work in the Office of the Attorney General culminated in his promotion to Eastern Pennsylvania Regional Chief of the Tort Litigation Section, responsible for supervising a staff of 10 assistant Attorneys General along with support staff, while maintaining responsibility for his own litigation caseload.
For the past 24 years, Gary has been a lawyer in the private sector, first with a small firm in Philadelphia, and since 1988, with the law firm of Stief, Gross, Sagoskin, Gilman & Classetti in Newtown. Gary has been involved in extensive litigation in cases involving professional negligence, highway design and highway maintenance, criminal law, and family law. Gary became a certified mediator in 1988, and he has been hired by Plaintiffs and Defendants to serve as the neutral mediator or arbitrator in well-over 100 cases of various types since that time. He has tried more than 50 cases to jury verdict in his career, and has resolved literally thousands of cases by way of negotiated settlements.
Gary and his family have always been active in our Bucks County community. Gary served on the Board of Directors of the Bucks County Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA) from 1997 to 2003, he has coached youth sports for 12 years, and he has been involved in a broad variety of social action and charitable activities. He currently serves his township as the chairperson of its Citizens Traffic Commission, responsible for promoting safe roads, safe driving, and reduced traffic congestion.
