Stacy L. Stevens

Stacy Stevens focuses her practice on employment law and complex commercial litigation. She represents clients, primarily employers and businesses, across state and federal courts in employment disputes, Fair Housing Act matters, and breach of contract claims. Her approach is the same regardless of the matter: understand the business context, identify a practical path forward, and move efficiently toward resolution.

Before joining Carrington Coleman, Stacy completed a federal clerkship with the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. There she gained firsthand experience across a broad range of matters, including employment discrimination claims under Title VII and the ADA, breach of contract disputes, consumer law issues, and Section 1983 civil rights claims. That experience sharpened her instincts for how courts think and what actually drives outcomes in litigation.

Stacy also brings a distinct perspective on First Amendment law. As a student attorney in her law school’s First Amendment Clinic, she worked on cases involving the Texas Citizens Participation Act and the Public Information Act, two areas with growing relevance for businesses, employers, and government-facing clients.
