Blessing
Stephanie McClure is a blessing. She’s extremely professional, knowledgeable and beyond caring. I ‘HAD’ a theft three crime record dating back to 1983. I’ve been in the USA on a Greencard since 1963. Since that time I’ve been to 70 countries. However in today’s political environment that crim...

Exceptional Immigration Attorney — Supportive, Responsive, and Incredibly Knowledgeable
I worked with Stephanie on my O-1 visa petition, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. The O-1 process can be complex and overwhelming, but Stephanie made it manageable and far less intimidating. She took the time to wa...

Trust her process!
Stephanie was able to help me when every other lawyer turned my case away! She told us that she would find a way to fix my very complicated situation, and that’s exactly what she did! I came here when I was 9yo on a K visa and my mother never got married. I got involved with the wrong people in my ...

Thank you, you made our holidays so much better!
She was able to dismiss my brother’s case from 2008. My brother had a complicated 2nd degree felony from 2008 which prevented him from entering the US legally again. Although he had pleaded guilty and had a felony on his record, Stephanie was able to reopen and remove the felony guilty plea from reco...
"Stephanie is an experienced, vigilant, and formidable attorney. Calm and tenacious, she knows what she is doing and contests the State. I recently watched her get an excellent result quickly and cost effectively in a local criminal court. There is little doubt that the State immediately respects her presence."
"Stephanie and I were co-counsel in a criminal defense case that was very complicated. The client was a young man from China who was here on green card status, and had been accused of a very serious crime. It appeared unlikely that he'd be able to stay in the US; but going back to China would have been extremely dangerous for him, for the reasons that led to his family receiving asylum status. Stephanie was able to negotiate a deal which resulted in the dismissal of the charges, which is almost unprecedented for a crime of that magnitude in this jurisdiction. I was impressed with her professionalism and attentiveness, and wholeheartedly endorse her."
"I have known Stephanie since law school. She has always been zealous and laser focused in all she has done."
"I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie many years ago. I also had the opportunity to work a long side Stephanie on a large action involving multiple assistant county prosecutors and municipal prosecutors a few years ago. She's extremely dedicated, intelligent, and hard-working. Any client seeking her representation would be luck to have her as their attorney"
"Stephanie is the consummate criminal defense attorney. As an ex-prosecutor, she can quickly spot weaknesses in the prosecution's case. She keeps her clients well-informed, and her results are outstanding. If you're in a tough spot, she's the lawyer you want in your corner."
"I endorse this attorney. Stephanie is an extremely skilled trial attorney and is a diligent worker whose experience as an assistant prosecutor speaks for itself. Any client would be lucky to have her in their corner."
"I have known Stephanie for many years - we clerked for the same judge just a few years apart. The judge always spoke of her in glowing terms and, as years went by and her practice took off, why he did so became inescapably obvious. Stephanie is extremely bright, unfailingly ethical, and her particular experience brings to the table a skill set that very few counsel can offer. I strongly endorse her."
"Stephanie is a talented litigator that can handle any case. She treats everyone with respect and is always prepared. I endorse Stephanie."
"I have known Ms. McClure for nearly 20 years. She is not only sharp, aggressive and highly competent, but I know of no attorney who is more conscientious and ethical than she. I would not hesitate in hiring her as my legal counsel."
