About Steve's Legal Career
Immediately after graduation, Steve clerked for the Hon. Frank D. Whitney, U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Now, as an associate in McGuireWoods' complex commercial litigation group, he has a diverse case load, including intellectual property litigation, financial services litigation, and general breach of contract and tort claims. Steve represents clients in both state and federal courts at the trial court and appellate levels.
I heard from friends and family that first-year grades were the key to success in the legal job market. I knew I had to work hard, but I had no idea how to work smart. I searched for law school prep programs and found Law Preview. I cannot even imagine what law school would have been like without the week I spent in the Law Preview program. I went to school prepared to work hard and smart, got great grades, made law review, and was lucky enough to land a federal court clerkship. I am very, very grateful to Don and his team for the way they run the Law Preview program and for the opportunities I've been given as a result of my participation in it.
