Dale Stephenson - an excellent choice for family law

Dale is an excellent choice for family law. From the moment she entered the room in our consultation, she provided a perfect balance of professionalism and personability, making me feel at ease right off the bat. She was thorough, responsive, and worked diligently to complete my ask in a very timely... fashion. My experience with Dale was a ten out of ten, and I recommend her services wholeheartedly.

Highly knowledgeable, well prepared and compassionate

We contacted Dale Stephenson to retain her as our attorney in our granddaughter's custody case as Intervenors. She provided excellent advice to not only us but our daughter's attorney as well. Her attention to detail and presentation in court is unmatched. She is humble, kind and totally dedicated to... being the most prepared and attorney for her clients. Our family loves her and how many can say that about that their attorney? She's the best.

Fantastic Attorney

As a father, I was very concerned about my custody rights concerning my daughter. Attorney Stephenson did an incredible job handling my custody case with an outcome that far exceeded my expectations. Ms. Stephenson presented a case so well organized and argued that the judge even commented on her p...rofessionalism at the conclusion of trial. In addition to her acumen in the court room, in the months of preparation for trial Ms. Stephenson served as an excellent council, imparting impeccable advice and always made me feel I had someone in my corner fighting for me. I can not recommend Attorney Stephenson highly enough.

Excellent Family Law Attorney in the Triangle

Attorney Stephenson is kind, intelligent, knowledgeable, diligent, and efficient in her work. She was incredibly helpful to me beginning to end throughout the divorce process, which has the potential to be stressful and overwhelming. She was patient, a prompt communicator, and attentive to any and al...l deadlines and procedural requirements. I highly recommend Attorney Stephenson if you're looking for a caring, compassionate counselor to offer you guidance with all family related legal matters. She is an excellent resource to have on your side!
