In Memoriam
WE ARE PROUD TO REFLECT ON AND CELEBRATE THEIR EXTRAORDINARY LIVES.
“A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.”
– General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur
John Plumides
1927 – 2005
John Plumides began practicing law in August 1953 in Charlotte. From 1953-1955, he served in the United States Army during the Korean conflict. In 1956, he formed the Plumides Law Firm in Charlotte, which is known as Plumides, Romano & Johnson, PC today.
One of his proudest moments as an attorney occurred in April of 2003 when he was featured by the Mecklenburg County Bar as one of the “Heroes of Our Bar” and in that same year was recognized for 50 years of practice by the North Carolina Bar Association. During his career, he won numerous Court of Appeals cases, which changed both civil and criminal law in North Carolina, including one case that went to the United States Supreme Court.
Edward (Ted) S. Shapack
1948 – 2023
Ted’s sharp sense of humor and witty jokes which were enjoyed by both colleagues and clients and will be missed.
Ted practiced law in Charlotte for 36 years, 25 as a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law. He joined Plumides, Romano & Johnson, PC in 2020 Of Counsel. Ted genuinely liked helping a clients (and a family) obtain just results. He served the NC and Mecklenburg County Bars in several leadership positions, including ethics and fee-dispute-related appointments.
Ted always remembered the advice Judge Resa Harris gave him, “if I always placed the client’s interest first and foremost, I would have more clients than I could say grace over. She was right.”
