Perfectly professional

Stephanie came highly recommended from a friend who was managing a difficult circumstance. She quickly responded to my inquiry and was very empathetic when I shared my situation. She was very knowledgable when offering advice and helped formulate a practical and sound legal approach to my case. I nev...er had any concern about my case after meeting with Stephanie, she was responsive throughout the preparation for my case and she helped me be calm and confident in court. Her advice and guidance gave me exactly the outcome I was hoping for, and I couldn’t have done it without her. I couldn’t provide a stronger recommendation!

Helped with Separation/Divorce

You never want to hire a lawyer, especially for going through a divorce/separation but I'm so thankful that I found Stephanie to help me through the process. She was understanding and empathetic to a difficult and emotional situation that I was going through and guided me every step of the way. She... helped me navigate through difficult conversations and let me know when it was better for her to have the dialogue with my ex. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone I know going through the situation or even thinking about if it's the right step to make that difficult decision to end a marriage.

A FAMILY ATTORNEY LIKE FAMILY

Its so hard to find a lawyer that you can trust and that actually cares about your case and the people involved. I found that in Attorney Ross. I hired Attorney Ross on a case that involved frivolous allegations of child abuse that could affect my custody. From the very beginning she was non-judgemen...tal and inquisitive. After a successful trial her dedication didn't stop...like family. She has been a litigator, counselor, mentor, confidant, and friend in many cases involving child custody, child support, and contempt. Attorney Ross has been the perfect balance of support when I want to give up and accountability when I am being unreasonable. Her knowledge of the law and how to apply it in the courtroom has proven to be unparalleled. Its rarely the best situation in my life when I have to see her but I have NEVER regretted writing her a check. She is worth her weight in gold. Im blessed to have her in my life....like family!

Knows her stuff and fights!

I've known Ms. Ross for many years and she is my go to for family law related questions and advice. I am a fellow attorney and I have found Ms. Ross to be very knowledgeable about the area of family law and has a great perspective on various angles to look at a particular case. If I need to refer som...eone to a highly qualified, caring, detail oriented attorney she is the one. If you find yourself in need of an attorney to guide you through a tough family law situation, turn to a lawyer other lawyers turn to.

Highly recommend

Attorney Ross assisted me and my husband with a contract dispute not long ago and she was extremely knowledgeable about the issue and prompt with communicating to us about our case. I definitely recommend her, and would use her again should I need legal services in the future.

"I wholeheartedly endorse Stephanie Ross as an attorney, professional, co-worker and friend. I have had the pleasure of working with her since she was a law student, and I can honestly say that I've never known a more attentive, motivated and diligent lawyer. She believes in the causes she litigates, makes personal connections with clients and treats each file with exceptional care and compassion. She spends a great deal of time making sure that her clients understand the application of their facts to the statutes at play. She has a high level of personal investment in her cases and exceeds expectations in every regard. I am so very fortunate to work with her! I tell her often that I would not want to practice law if it weren't with her. :-)"
