BIO

Stephanie Leet handles the firm’s federal worker’s compensation practice. 

With years of experience navigating the complexities of federal claims, Stephanie has built a reputation for being a strong advocate and trusted advisor. She knows how critical it is to secure the benefits injured workers are entitled to, and she fights tirelessly to make sure her clients’ rights are protected every step of the way.

Stephanie’s passion for this work is also deeply personal. When her husband was injured at work, she experienced firsthand the challenges, frustrations, and emotional toll that workers’ compensation cases can bring. This unique perspective gives her an uncommon understanding of what her clients are going through—not just from a legal standpoint, but from a personal one. Stephanie is known for her genuine empathy, her clear communication, and her dedication to making sure her clients feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Clients trust Stephanie because she combines her technical expertise with real-world experience and sincere compassion. She knows that behind every case is a person whose life has been disrupted, and she takes that responsibility seriously. Whether she’s dealing with complex paperwork, standing up to government agencies, or simply listening to a client’s concerns, she brings a steady hand and a caring heart to every case she handles

Outside of work, Stephanie likes to listen to country music and watch movies. She also loves spending time with her family. During her second summer of law school, Stephanie earned her 711 license to intern with the Cook County State’s Attorney, allowing her to prosecute cases despite not being licensed yet. That’s where she met her husband. The couple has two sons and a daughter. The family  enjoys sports, cruises, Las Vegas trips, and Disney World visits.
