About Stephan
Stephan Skepnek built a legal career that moves from hands-on support roles into courtroom work. He is admitted to practice in both Missouri and Kansas and has worked in public and private settings. His early years in the profession were shaped by day-to-day litigation support and office practice before he took on attorney-level responsibilities.
He began in 2009 as a paralegal at Davis & Davis Law Office. That role introduced him to litigation preparation and client file management. In 2010 he joined Skepnek Law Office as a legal assistant. The change kept him close to casework while expanding his familiarity with the mechanics of running a small practice. By 2015 he returned to Skepnek Law Office as an associate lawyer, transitioning fully from support work to representing clients.
In 2017 Skepnek worked as litigation counsel at the Kansas Corporation Commission. In that position he handled matters that unfolded before the commission and took part in contested proceedings. The year at the commission exposed him to regulatory processes and administrative hearings, adding a public-law dimension to his private-practice experience.
The next step in his career came in 2018 when he joined Sader Law Office as an associate lawyer. At Sader Law Office he continued to practice in the region where he started, applying his litigation background to a mix of client matters. He maintains professional ties to the Kansas City legal community and holds membership in the Kansas City Bankruptcy Bar Association. That affiliation signals involvement in local bankruptcy practice and related litigation work.
Colleagues describe him as someone who understands both the paperwork side of litigation and the demands of arguing a matter in a hearing room. His trajectory shows steady movement from supporting roles to positions that require independent judgment and courtroom experience. He has worked in a small-law context and in a state regulatory agency, and he has returned to private practice where those different perspectives inform his approach.
He now practices as an associate at Sader Law Office and handles legal matters across Missouri and Kansas. His current work focuses on litigation and matters that arise in the region's courts and administrative venues.
