Lawyer Overview

Mr. Stevenson is an associate at Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, joining the firm in 2007, where he focuses on class action work.

He graduated first in his class from Gonzaga University in 1996 (summa cum laude) with a B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science. He was recognized as a Truman Scholar in 1995, was active in Habitat for Humanity and became a member of Alpha Sigma Nu. Mr. Stevenson graduated from Yale Law School in 2000. While at Yale, he was co-founder and director of the YLS Workers' Rights Project. While director, the Project drafted and filed a successful petition on behalf of thousands of immigrant workers under the NAFTA labor side agreement (with the endorsement of the AFL-CIO, ACLU, and numerous other civil and labor rights groups). The Project also supported local labor organizing efforts, and collaborated with labor rights groups to fight against sweatshops in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Additionally, he served as submissions editor of the Yale Law and Policy Review, participated in the Greenhaven Prison Project (a prisoner rehabilitation effort in New York), and represented tenants in New Haven against landlord abuse. He also was an intern in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Connecticut.

Mr. Stevenson then completed two federal clerkships. First, as a law clerk to the Hon. Charles S. Haight, Jr., of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (2000-01); then as a law clerk for the Hon. Betty B. Fletcher, of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (2001-02).

Following his clerkships, Mr. Stevenson developed his skills as a trial lawyer while working as a felony prosecutor in Seattle for over four years, successfully prosecuting hundreds of felony cases, including crimes of armed robbery, rape, murder, and assault in the first degree. He ended his tenure with an emphasis on the most egregious crimes of domestic violence.

He is admitted to practice in the State of Washington.
