My name is Gary Mauney. I’m the founding partner of Mauney PLLC. I started this law firm because I wake up every day ready to go to bat for my clients. I only represent plaintiffs. I have been representing clients in personal injury cases and in complex business litigation for twenty-five years.

 

I spend my time as a lawyer working on a relatively small number of cases, where, typically, something really bad has happened. Each day, I advocate for clients who have been irreparably injured or who have had a family member killed by the negligence of a careless driver, an irresponsible nursing home, or a workplace accident. 

 

I also focus my time and energy on litigation that involves business and financial disputes, securities and accounting fraud, and partnership or merger disputes. This means I often represent plaintiffs in cases against hedge funds, banks, and accounting firms. Some of this work also involves claims by whistleblowers, sometimes called qui tam relators, under the False Claims Act. Over the years, I have successfully represented individuals, families, and private and public companies in cases where millions of dollars were at issue.

​

I have a background in accounting and finance. Over the last dozen years, I have represented the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, investors, banks, and hedge funds. I helped pioneer breakthrough litigation against promoters of abusive tax shelters, such as BDO Seidman, PwC, KPMG, Deutsche Bank, and others. I am the former chair of the Abusive Tax Shelter Litigation Committee of the American Trial Lawyers Association. I have been featured in academic books and leading media outlets about the tax shelter industry. When victims of abusive tax shelters need an attorney with experience litigating cases against big accounting firms, law firms, and banks, I often get the call.

​

Most of my clients who are plaintiffs probably never needed a lawyer before they met me. Odds are that most plaintiffs will never need a lawyer again. This means you should choose wisely before you entrust your life-changing litigation to any lawyer or law firm.

 

But as often as not, plaintiffs end up selecting a lawyer to represent them without knowing much about them. If you have been defrauded out of millions, or you have lost a loved one because someone was negligent, I would encourage you to make an educated decision. So rather than just set out a list of my accomplishments, I’d like you to know a little more about my path as an advocate and attorney.
