knowledgeable and compassionate

Stephanie helped me with the most difficult process I had to go through in my life. I felt heard, understood, and I didn't feel rushed. She was professional and sympathetic during the process. I wish I never had to go through this but I'm glad she was in my corner to help.

Amazing Lawyer

Hiring Stephanie and her law firm was the best decision I have ever made. She is knowledgeable, professional ,caring and conscientious! She always made sure that I understood my options and fought for what was best for me. She gave me her opinion on what I should do but let me make my own decision...s. I have recommended her and will continue to do so!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
