Strong Advocate - Highly Recommend

Stephanie, who represented my daughter, was extraordinary. She was attentive, compassionate, and deeply respectful. She took time to understand the facts, advocated strongly for our daughter, and navigated the case toward the best possible resolution. Highly recommend.

2DUI, Revoked license

I would like to thank this amazing, and caring Attorney, Stephanie Goldsborough for the legal work she provided for my ex-husband and for myself. Stephanie worked diligently to achieve the best results possible in these cases. Her sincerity, upfront communication, and concern was not only for her cl...ient (my ex-husband) but me as well. Gods grace and mercy along with the appointed messenger of Attorney Stephanie Goldsborough is proof that working across the table litigating with fellow cohorts, shows that compassion does exist in the legal field. Thank you, sincerely

Hiring Staphanie

Stephanie is the lawyer you need by your side, ready to fight for you tirelessly from start to finish. With her unwavering confidence, genuine care, and unwavering belief in her clients, she will dedicate countless hours to proving your innocence. I can personally attest to her abilities, as she succ...essfully defended me in a challenging week-long trial for a serious criminal case, despite the entire city being against me and withholding evidence. I am eternally grateful to her every single day.

Excellent Attorney

Choosing Stephanie Goldsborough to represent me was one of the best decisions I could've made. She treated me with the utmost respect, reviewing the claims against me and listening to what I had to say. She was accessible, cordial, a complete professional, always making me feel comfortable when discu...ssing my case without passing judgement. She explained every aspect of the process as the case was drawn out but she remained focused as she understood what was at stake. Her attention to detail is second to none and I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone. I always felt she cared.

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.
