Efficient, empathetic, successful

Stephanie guided me through my divorce with a level of empathy, effectiveness and clarity that made this ordeal manageable. She was clear, direct and thoughtful in every response and interaction. She ensured we focused on the right thing at the right time, which minimized anxiety and confusion, des...pite the challenges of my situation. I would recommend her to anyone.

Patient, Understanding, and Eases your Concerns!

Stephanie on short notice, and dealing with time constraints, because of my impending marriage was able to complete my Prenuptial Agreement before the wedding. She patiently answered all of my concerns and put my mind at ease with a thorough representation on my behalf. She communicated with me eve...ry step of the way, and alleviated the stress, throughout the process.

Exceeded Expectations!

From beginning to end, Stephanie guided me through the entire divorce process. Her patience, understanding and compassion greatly reduced my anxiety and stress levels. Her knowledge and professionalism exceeded all my expectations and made me feel comfortable through some very trying times. I wo...uld highly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking out council going through divorce.

Daughter of the Client

Stephanie Palo, Esq. was highly recommended to our family by Linda L. Piff Esq. We had a family matter and our elderly father needed counsel with an emergent and time sensitive situation—something that initially we thought we could manage on our own. Not only was Stephanie available nearly immediatel...y to consult with, she provided quick responses, actions, responses from start to finish and we are so grateful for her representing our father during such a stressful and difficult time. Should you ever be in a place where you or a family member needs legal advice for a domestic violence situation you must speak with Stephanie Palo!

Universal Hero

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.

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.
