Attorney Ty Stimpson, a partner at Varghese Summersett, has been recognized as one of Fort Worth Inc.’s 40 Under 40—a prestigious award honoring the city’s brightest and most promising leaders under age 40.
Stimpson and the other honorees were celebrated on Thursday, Feb. 13, during a banquet at River Ranch Stockyards. He is also featured in this month’s edition of Fort Worth Inc. magazine.
“It’s an honor to be recognized alongside so many exceptional men and women in this city,” Stimpson said. “This award represents more than just individual achievement—it’s a reflection of the mentors who paved the way for me, the clients who trust me to fight for them, and the community that continues to inspire me.”
This marks the first year Fort Worth Inc. has presented the 40 Under 40 awards. Previously, the Fort Worth Business Press oversaw the program, launching the initiative in 1994. Fort Worth Inc. acquired the distinguished program last year.
The 40 Under 40 awards recognize rising leaders in Greater Fort Worth who are making a lasting impact in business and the community. Over the years, many honorees have become some of the region’s most influential figures. Now, under Fort Worth Inc.’s leadership, the program continues its tradition of celebrating excellence and service.
Stimpson embodies these qualities. As a partner at Varghese Summersett, he leads the firm’s Personal Injury Division, advocating for victims who have suffered catastrophic injuries or lost loved ones due to negligent or wrongful acts. His commitment to service extends far beyond the courtroom—he is actively involved in more than a dozen organizations, including the Tarrant Area Food Bank, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Tarrant County, and the Fort Worth Black Chamber of Commerce.
Through these organizations and others, he champions causes that promote education, equality, and empowerment. His dedication to service and leadership has also earned him the 2023 Young Professional of the Year Award from the Fort Worth Chamber and the 2023 Dr. Marion Brooks “Legend in the Making” Award for Law.
Stimpson is not the first attorney at Varghese Summersett to receive this esteemed recognition. Last year, Anna Summersett, co-founder of the firm, was also honored as a 40 Under 40 recipient.
“We couldn’t be more proud of Ty and his well-deserved recognition as one of Fort Worth’s 40 Under 40,” said Managing Partner Benson Varghese. “Having back-to-back recipients from our firm is a testament to the great leaders we have on our team — driven individuals committed to excellence, philanthropy, and service to this city.”
