He approaches each case with persistence, creativity, and resolve, always working to identify the strongest path forward and to focus on what matters most for his clients.

Stanley brings a wealth of experience from diverse legal environments. Before becoming an Associate, Stanley served as a Summer Associate at Smith, Gambrell & Russell, where he gained experience in both litigation and transactional matters. Prior to his current position, he refined his research and litigation skills as a Law Clerk at Hammer Serna & Quinn and Equip for Equality, and as a Research Assistant at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law Center on Wrongful Conviction, where he supported efforts to address injustices within the criminal legal system.
Stanley has experience working on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., where he spent countless hours learning how to make complex policies more accessible, understandable, and practical. He brings that same ability to distill difficult issues into clear, workable solutions. In his free time, he enjoys watching LeBron James continue his case for greatest of all time, comparing the best action films ever made, and spending time hiking.
Demonstrating his passion for legal education and leadership, Stanley served as Lead Teaching Assistant for Professional Identity Formation, Vice President of the Real Estate and Construction Law Society, and Chief of Staff for the Midwest Region of the Black Law Students Association.
