About Stephanie

I believe in personal, proactive and focused legal services. These focused services are limited to several planning-related practice areas: Elder Law, Estate Planning & Administration, Special Needs Planning & Education Law, Veterans Benefits, and Criminal Record Expunctions.

 

I am also an Accredited Attorney with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

 

Please visit my website, www.chathamelderlaw.com, for more information. I also offer a free initial consultation at the Faris Law Firm's accessible office or at a location convenient for you.
