Kelly Stevenson is a successful trial attorney who fights tirelessly for her clients. She devoted her early career to public defense and represented clients in thousands of court proceedings. Her
litigation experience includes a wide range of complex matters with varying legal consequences. Her advocacy and negotiation skills have led to the successful resolution of many of her client’s cases.
During her tenure at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, Kelly represented clients accused of felony and misdemeanor crimes as a trial attorney. While assigned to the Children and Youth Justice Unit, she represented children who experienced significant emotional and psychological trauma. She also represented clients in a specialized court program for children who were victims of sex-trafficking and came into contact with the criminal justice system. Kelly takes a trauma informed approach when advocating for her clients and makes sure that her clients are protected and supported throughout the court process.
During Law School, Kelly worked for the California Appellate Project where she focused on constitutional claims of intellectual disability pending before the California Supreme Court. Kelly was also a Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Fellow. Throughout her fellowship she taught constitutional law to students in the Philadelphia School District. The fellowship culminated in a moot court tournament where two of her students competed in the Marshall-Brennan Moot Court Competition at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law.
