Aggressive, creative, and compassionate are words Ben Stevens’ colleagues freely use to describe him. While Ben is an experienced trial lawyer, it takes much more than technical proficiency to be an effective family law attorney. A quality family law attorney must also be able to understand his clients’ problems and to understand the emotional and human nature of the issues faced by people going through a family crisis. At the same time, however, a good attorney navigates the most direct path to a fair resolution of his client’s case. Ben possesses a tremendous ability to be simultaneously understanding and effective.

Ben has been featured in numerous publications, including Forbes, ABA Journal, Law Practice Today, Lawyers USA, South Carolina Lawyers Weekly, NextGen Law, GSA Business, and Mac | Life.  He has been interviewed on several television and radio stations, including WYFF and NPR.  Ben has taught continuing legal education seminars to other attorneys all across South Carolina and also in places such as Chicago, Nashville, Orlando, and Montreal.  He currently serves as the Section Chair for the Family Law Section of the South Carolina Association for Justice (formerly SCTLA), and he is also a member of the South Carolina Bar, Spartanburg County Bar, American Bar Association, American Association for Justice (formerly ATLA), and Christian Legal Society.

Ben is a lifelong resident of South Carolina. He graduated cum laude from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science in Financial Management and a minor in Accounting. At Clemson, Ben was an active member of Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity, serving as its chapter President during his Senior year. He then obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law, and he has practiced law in Spartanburg, South Carolina ever since. Ben’s undergraduate background in business has proved particularly helpful in cases involving complex financial issues.

Going through a divorce himself a few years ago helped give Ben a unique insight into the issues people face in Family Court.  He is now happily remarried, and he has three wonderful children.  He and his family are active members of Eastside Baptist Church in Spartanburg and other local organizations.  Ben enjoys coaching youth sports, including baseball and basketball, and he and his family are avid supporters of Clemson University athletics. As a divorced, remarried husband and father of three, he has excellent insight into the problems and challenges faced by today’s families.
