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 through 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.

Excellent Committment to Clients

Ms. Sauer was extremely helpful in resolving the concerns that I had about my pending divorce. She and her team worked diligently to keep me informed throughout the process.

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 question or concern. I would recommend them to everyone.
