Before launching his legal career, Stephen Krzyston earned a juris doctor from the Charleston School of Law in South Carolina. Since then, he has continued to further his education by attending the National Criminal Defense College at Mercer University School of Law and the National Forensic College in Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law. An attorney at Cavanaugh & Thickens, Stephen Krzyston is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL).
The Lawyers’ Assistance Strike Force represents criminal defense lawyers facing charges for contempt and other crimes due to information received from clients. When a criminal defense lawyer is subpoenaed, cited for contempt, or threatened with disqualification, the NACDL Lawyers’ Assistance Strike Force reviews the case. Led by co-chairs Susan VanDusen, Howard Srebnick, and Martin Weinberg, the group also allows members of the society to connect with circuit coordinators for representation or advice.
