About Fallon Carroll
Fallon Carroll Stephenson took a steady, practical route into the law. She earned a B.A. in Political Science from Washington & Jefferson College and went on to receive her J.D. from Duquesne University. Those classroom years set the groundwork for a career that moved quickly from support roles to licensed practice in Pennsylvania.
Early in her legal career Stephenson worked as a paralegal and law clerk at Friday & Cox, LLC / Friday, Porta, Cox & Ward, LLC in 2010. That same year she served as a law clerk at Blumling & Gusky, LLP. In 2011 she worked as a contract lawyer with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. The sequence shows a common path: apprenticeship-style positions followed by experience in a larger, national firm environment. Each stop added a new layer of courtroom exposure and institutional perspective.
She is now a lawyer at Gaffen & Stephenson, LLC. The transition from clerkships and contract work to a practice role reflects a shift from supporting legal teams to taking responsibility for client matters. Her work occurs under the rules of the Pennsylvania bar. She also holds membership in the Allegheny County Bar Association, where she participates alongside local colleagues and keeps current with regional legal developments.
Colleagues describe her professional approach as steady and practical. She has balanced time in smaller local firms and a national firm setting, which informs how she navigates case preparation and client communication. Those experiences gave her a view of legal work from multiple angles: from detailed file preparation to larger firm procedures.
Outside of firm responsibilities, she maintains ties to the legal community in Allegheny County. Membership in the county bar association keeps her connected to continuing legal education opportunities and local professional networks. That local engagement complements the formal legal training she received at Duquesne and Washington & Jefferson College.
Her current practice is conducted through Gaffen & Stephenson, LLC in Pennsylvania. She handles matters on behalf of clients in the state and continues to work within the Allegheny County legal community. Her present practice focuses on serving clients through the firm's Pennsylvania-based practice.
