Max Stephenson joined the Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP team in 2012 as a law clerk, while still a student at Marquette University Law School. During law school, he served as the Chief Justice of the MU Moot Court Association and competed in the Jenkins Honors Moot Court Competition, an honor bestowed upon only the top twenty percent of students from Appellate Writing and Advocacy. Additionally, Max was recognized as a Thomas More Law Scholar.

Max also competed in the Robert F. Wagner National Labor & Employment Law Moot Court Competition in New York City, which is one of the nation’s largest student-run moot court competitions. His dedication to the Marquette Moot Court program still remains strong as he serves as part of the coaching staff for the NMCC team.

While at Marquette Law School, he was also a member of the rigorous Pro Bono Society in which he provided a minimum of 50 hours of volunteer legal services. This passion to give back is something he still maintains as he works hard to help his clients navigate the often uncertain waters of family law situations. “My job is to help people in difficult situations and make the process as manageable and comfortable as possible,” Stephenson notes.
