Background

Gabe was born in Morristown, Tennessee, and grew up in Whitesburg as the son of Mark Stapleton and Denise Terry. He attended Morristown East High School and subsequently moved to Knoxville, where he lived for six years.

He received his undergraduate degree in three years and then went on to law school and has always looked forward to serving the East Tennessee area in the legal profession.

“Having family in the business helped me get exposed to what the practice of law was really like. Seeing the opportunity Attorneys have to effect positive change through the practice of law was how I ultimately decided to pursue it,” Gabe says when asked what inspired him to go into law.

He says his favorite thing about his job is “getting to know clients and being creative in working towards our goals in cases.” He also values the law firm’s work environment where he is “surrounded by people who share the common goal producing a quality work product for our clients.”

Gabe lives in East Tennessee with his wife, Hunter, and their two children, Henry and Blake.
