Melvin Stevens (Associate)

PRINT

Melvin joined the Champaign office in 2022, focusing his practice on civil litigation. He intends to diversify and grow his practice, utilizing his additional experiences in Casualty/Tort Litigation, Employment & Labor, Healthcare, and Workers' Compensation.

 

A Champaign native, Melvin believes that the best lawyers integrate themselves into the community they practice. He understands the key to successful attorney-client outcomes lies in the relationships they form professionally and in their shared community.

 

Eager to expand his legal knowledge, Melvin worked throughout law school, first clerking for Mark Ingersoll in Champaign-Urbana, assisting in real estate, will, and estate planning matters. After his second year of law school, Melvin worked remotely for New York-based Jafri Law Firm and assisted in employment law and other civil litigation matters. In his final year of law school, Melvin served as a student attorney for the Veterans Legal Clinic, where he had the privilege of serving his local veteran population. 

 

Melvin graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law cum laude.
