Steve Leonard

Casey Gerry Schenk Francavilla Blatt & Penfield, LLP

Steve Leonard is Casey Gerry’s legal secretary in charge of calendaring. Leonard’s position is extremely important in that he is responsible for organizing, planning and managing the calendars of all 10 lawyers in the firm. Our clients’ access to justice depends upon the attorneys to move their case through the civil justice system to a fair and reasonable resolution, and nobody is more important in making this happen than Leonard. His wide range of responsibilities include keeping calendars of all trials and deadlines, timely serving discovery, setting depositions, trial preparation and proficiency in the use and management of litigation software programs.

Leonard’s intelligence, efficiency and friendly demeanor make working with him a pleasure. We routinely receive compliments from opposing counsel and their staffs about his professionalism and abilities. We at Casey Gerry are proud to have him on our team.

Leonard graduated from Westwood High School in Ishpeming, Mich., in 1985, and received his bachelor’s degree in history from Christian Heritage College in El Cajon, CA, in 1991. He worked as an administrative assistant for United States International University (now Alliant International University) and spent 10 years as a legal assistant for a business law firm before joining Casey Gerry.

Outside activities include tennis, reading and a good game of Texas Hold 'Em. Leonard follows Duke basketball, is a political junkie and is an avid fan of professional bull riding.
