About Caryn Martel
Caryn Martel Kenik earned her J.D. from The John Marshall Law School in 1986. She entered the profession at a time when the legal landscape was shifting and has practiced through several decades of change. Her education set a foundation in core legal subjects and prepared her for work across state lines.
She is admitted to practice in both New York and Illinois. Those dual admissions have shaped the arc of her career. They allowed her to take on matters that cross jurisdictions and to advise clients with interests in two major legal markets.
Kenik joined Steven H. Mevorah & Associates as an associate in 2009. The listing of that role is the clearest public marker of her professional path. Over the years she has worked in private practice environments and has remained associated with the firm that is listed as her office. Colleagues describe those years as steady and sustained, a pattern that suggests an orientation toward hands-on client work rather than frequent lateral moves.
Her work has unfolded in both New York and Illinois courts. Practicing in two states requires attention to differing procedural rules and client expectations. Kenik’s long tenure in the profession has offered repeated opportunities to apply that knowledge. She has handled matters for clients who require representation that spans state lines, drawing on experience earned since her entry into the bar.
Outside of firm listings, public records do not attribute high-profile cases or published treatises to her name. That absence is not unusual; many lawyers build quiet practices that operate without frequent public notice. Kenik’s record reflects a career rooted in the steady application of legal skills across multiple forums.
She currently practices at Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, handling client matters in New York and Illinois.
