Stephanie Palo

I came to Stephanie after working with another lawyer for years and not getting what I wanted for my daughter- I was completely lost and over it all. Stephanie assured me that she will get me what was needed and deserved but also what was fair for all parties involved. She was always very thorough ...and very honest with what I should be expecting and didn’t beat around the bush when I was asking for too much. She was perfect.

When I received divorce papers I was also served with a temporary restraining order. Palo suggested a civil restraint as opposed to a final restraining order. TRO was dismissed and Palo was with me every step of the way during my separation and divorce proceedings. Stephanie has a way to negotiate wi...th the most difficult and unreasonable persons. Because of this we settled out of court in a more timely and cost effective manner. This did not come easy because my ex filed 2 more TROs before our divorce was final. Stephanie represented me on all 3 TROs and all were dismissed. Even though they were unsubstantiated, trying to prove ones innocence is very difficult if you don’t speak the language of the law. This is where Stephanie shines. Without her during this whole process I wouldn’t have been so fortunate. This whole process for me was a nightmare. I experienced many days and nights with anxiety because of many unknowns. Particularly because of my 3 year old daughter and custody issues. Stephanie always answered my phone calls no matter what time it was, and she was able to provide me with comfort as well as what my legal rights are. Once again, Stephanie made sure I was afforded my rights to 50/50 custody. Stephanie is more than a lawyer. She is professional and does not engage in the art of twisting the truth. Instead she unravels the untruths to show the court what is real. For this, Stephanie Palo is more than just a lawyer. Stephanie Palo was also a mentor, a counselor, a mediator and even a big sister who tells you the hard truths. For this, Stephanie Palo is a universal hero.

Stephanie Palo represented me in both my divorce/child custody case and a very upsetting situation involving grandparents' visitation rights. I cannot say enough about Stephanie's ability to handle a case expeditiously while always explaining each step, laying out potential consequences, and truly fi...ghting for the best interests of her client and their dependents. In my divorce, Stephanie thought of everything and was able to secure an outstanding settlement for myself and my daughter. That settlement has helped me avoid many problems with my ex-husband because Stephanie foresaw potential issues even I didn't anticipate. In the case of the potential grandparents' visitation rights case I faced, Stephanie researched and translated the case law so I could understand what I might have faced ahead if the case had progressed. She guided me in preparing for and enduring a very uncomfortable conference with the opposing party in the matter. Stephanie continues to advise me with intermittent issues concerning enforcement of my marriage settlement agreement, and I am forever thankful to her. Her calm, reassuring presence combined with her expertise and orientation to detail have been invaluable to me. Of course, no one wants to deal with troubling situations, but it's so much easier when you have someone like Stephanie guiding you through. I continue to have the utmost confidence in Stephanie Palo as an attorney, and if you are considering working with her, you should too.
