Posted by anonymous | November 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Thank you Stephanie!

I cannot thank Stephanie enough for all that she did for me and my three daughters. My case got very complicated and very ugly and Stephanie was professional throughout the two years! Stephanie is the type of lawyer who tells you straight up when you are acting out of lines and always talks you thr...ough the issues to manage your expectations. I can truly appreciate someone giving it to me straight. Thank you for all that you did for us Stephanie. It was a long two years but in the end, the fight was worth every second of pain.

Divorce

Ms. Sauer and her paralegal Ms. Evans were very helpful in getting my divorce case resolved. What I most appreciated, was that they seemed to really care about me as a person and what I was going through and that I was not just another case. They also followed up with me quickly whenever I had a que...stion or concern. I would recommend them to everyone.

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.
