| For a combined 30 years, Steve Gugenheim and Julie Wallis Gugenheim have been trying lawsuits. Steve and Julie both attended Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Alabama. Steve was a Member and Editor of the Cumberland Law Review and a member of the nationally acclaimed Cumberland Mock Trial Team. After graduating law school, Steve and Julie moved to Dallas, Texas. While Steve began his career as a defense attorney with one of the largest law firms in the United States, Julie served as an assistant district attorney and tried close to 100 misdemeanor and felony jury trials. In 1994, Steve opened his own practice and began representing the victims and the families of victims in cases involving serious personal injury and wrongful death. Julie decided to broaden her experience and began working for Allstate Insurance Company as a trial lawyer. Julie honed her trial skills by defending those accused of negligence. In 2000, Steve and Julie relocated to North Carolina to be close to family. Steve opened Gugenheim Law and Julie worked with a large Raleigh law firm defending serious personal injury cases.
After the birth of their son in 2001 and due to the growing demands of Gugenheim Law, in 2002, Julie joined Gugenheim Law. In 2003, Steve and Julie tried their first wrongful death case as a husband-wife trial team. Steve and Julie obtained one of the largest verdicts in the history of Randolph County for the family of a resident of a nursing home who fell, fractured his hip and ribs, and then died several weeks later.
