About Steve V.
Steve V. Fils-Aime earned his Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law in 2013. He completed law school during a busy period for New York legal education, leaving with credentials that led him into private practice in the city. The academic record at St. John’s provided a foundation in litigation fundamentals, research and writing that he has relied on since entering the profession.
After law school, Fils-Aime moved into firm work and by 2015 was listed as an associate at Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C. That early role placed him in a team environment where tasks were often divided between trial preparation, discovery, motion practice and client correspondence. As an associate, he handled legal research, drafted pleadings and briefs, and supported senior attorneys at hearings and depositions.
Over the years he has kept his practice within New York’s jurisdiction. He has continued to develop practical courtroom and office skills rather than pursue an academic or public-sector path. His day-to-day work has included preparing case files, responding to discovery requests and assisting in strategy meetings. Those responsibilities reflect the common duties of an attorney embedded in a mid-size litigation firm structure.
Fils-Aime is a member of professional associations that serve New York lawyers. He maintains ties to local bar activities and networking groups. Those memberships provide access to continuing legal education and local practice resources. They also create routine opportunities to consult with peers on procedural issues and recent developments affecting state courts.
Colleagues describe him as steady and thorough in managing the work that supports larger case strategies. He has worked under partners and senior counsel on matters that required close calendaring and attention to filing deadlines. That background has shaped his approach to case management and client communication over several years at the same firm.
As of 2026, he practices at Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C. and is licensed to practice in New York. His practice focuses on representing clients in civil matters and providing litigation support within New York state proceedings.
