Gregg Stevens Joins Hinshaw as a Consumer Financial Services Partner in Dallas

Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP today announced that Gregg Stevens has joined the firm as a partner in the Consumer Financial Services practice in Dallas. Formerly with McGlinchey Stafford, Stevens has significant experience advising financial services companies on a wide array of federal and state regulatory compliance, and consumer finance defense litigation matters.

"We are thrilled that Gregg has joined the firm in Dallas," said Justin Penn, co-chair of the firm’s Consumer Financial Services practice. "Many of us have had the privilege of working with Gregg, and we appreciate the knowledge, depth, and capabilities he brings to defending financial companies at a time when our clients are facing ever more intense federal and state scrutiny and regulatory enforcement actions."

Prior to joining McGlinchey, Stevens spent several years with the Department of Justice Tax Division, where he litigated federal tax cases in Texas and New Mexico. He later served as in-house counsel for a leading national bank. At Hinshaw, he represents financial institutions, lenders, large national banks, credit card companies, and auto finance companies in litigation and disputes related to various federal regulatory laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. He also defends companies against claims under state Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices laws.

Stevens decided to join Hinshaw because of the firm’s national footprint, broad range of practice areas, and nationally regarded Consumer Financial Services practice.

"I’m happy to join such a powerhouse team of nationally-networked financial services attorneys, many of whom I have known and worked closely with over the years," Stevens said. "Since we have a number of shared clients, joining Hinshaw—with its deep bench and national reach—will have synergistic benefits both for my practice and my clients. With my previous in-house experience, I bring an understanding of the business pressures in-house counsel must deal with. I provide each client a practical, solutions-based approach suitable to their situation."

A recognized thought leader, Stevens frequently speaks on consumer financial services litigation topics and has authored numerous articles on consumer credit issues. He received his B.S. in finance from Miami University of Ohio and his J.D. from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law.
