On October 24, 2017, legendary trial attorney John Wishart Campbell, 94, passed away at his residence in Lumberton, N.C. Mr. Campbell took his oath in 1949, was a partner in two Lumberton firms, and later became one of the founding partners of Teague Campbell Dennis & Gorham, LLP in Raleigh, N.C. As his obituary highlights, Mr. Campbell was the recipient of numerous honors and awards throughout his legal lifetime, including Fellow, American College of Trial Lawyers; President, North Carolina State Bar; and, North Carolina Lawyer’s Hall of Fame. Upon his retirement in 2013, Mr. Campbell had practiced law for 63 years across the state of North Carolina.

We are saddened by the news of Mr. Campbell’s passing, but continue to be grateful for his contributions, not only to this firm, but to the greater legal community.
