Stephanie Salb Recommendation

I filed for divorce from my husband in April 2014 and the divorce was final August 2014. That may seem like a long time to someone who hasn't taken the step of filing for divorce, but that is actually a very quick resolution. I found Stephanie's fees to be a little lower or comparable to other atto...rney's hourly fees. Most people pay for the attorney to handle everything (copies, etc.) and incur hefty attorney fees. There are ways to cut financial costs though if you are willing to do some of the legwork. I did a lot of my own administrative work. I went to Office Max and made copies of documentation needed and submitted it to Stephanie to save money. I also scanned documents that she needed from me in order to save money. Stephanie worked with me and never overcharged me or added hidden costs to my attorney fees. Stephanie is assertive and is not intimidated by other high powered attorneys. Stephanie is great in a mediation setting and selects great mediators based on the particular case she is handling. She asked for what was fair in my case. I was not greedy or vengeful. I just wanted what was equitable and fair from my 25 year marriage. I came out far better than I imagined I would with Stephanie's help. Through the process, I realized that even if I did not hear from her for a few days, she was still working behind the scenes on my behalf. Her paralegal kept me informed throughout the process as well. Working with Stephanie's team was a pleasure. I would recommend her highly to anyone trying to navigate the pain of divorce.

No need to look for a better lawyer!

Legal matters with children involved can be a very sensitive matter. BEFORE hiring Stephanie Salb, I had retained an attorney that only had a paycheck on his mind. He misfiled my paperwork and held me up in court for an extremely long time. When I met Stephanie, she had to build a case with me fro...m scratch as well as clean up a previous mess. She did so with a great passion for not only me but most importantly my child! She is extremely knowledgeable of family law and is an advocate for what's best for children. I cannot write a review without acknowledging Andrea, who assists Stephanie Salb. She has patience and great knowledge also. She is always there to help and I have always received an answer to my questions in a timely fashion. I was updated often on my case and I never had to worry about whether things were being taken care of. They honestly are a dynamic duo. Thank you for everything!

Excellent Job!

Stephanie Salb did an excellent job with my case and is still continuing to look out for me. Her communication with me was excellent and I did not have to worry if she would contact me. She knows what she is doing and has the experience to show. She won't back down to a challenge and does not give up.... I would and already have recommended her for others with custody issues. So thankful she's on my side!

So happy I found this divorce lawyer when I did! Attorney Stephanie Salb rocks! Thank YOU!!!

Let me tell you something, if you need to get a divorce don't try to go about it on your own. I cannot tell you how much anxiety and stress was washed away the moment that Stephanie agreed to take my case. I finally had someone who handled all the communication. I did not have to do anything other t...han what she told me I had to do. No longer did I have to speak to my soon to be ex or be put in a position to be treated poorly by him ever again. I had no children with him so that was not a factor in my divorce, but what I did have was a home he was bound and determined to take, even threatning to steal my dog (I'm not even kidding). It was a pretty horrible situation. When I handed my documents over to her and my timeline of events, she took it from there. Her rate was so affordable I could not believe she did all that she did for the amount she charged me. At the time I had some serious health issues and had been layed off. This was in 2009 around the time when the economy tanked. Talk about a stressful time! Stephanie and her legal assistant were so sweet and patient with all my questions and guided me through what could have been much more stressful than it was. Stephanie basically held my hand the whole way up to mediation and to the day when I stood before the judge, raised my right hand and verified I wanted the divorce. That day, totally unplanned, happened to fall on my birthday. What a great gift that was! Btw, Stephanie was fantastic during mediation. She was instrumental in getting the dispute I had with my ex over property resolved and just as important I got custody of my dog ;-) Thank you Stephanie for restoring peace back into my life during one of the most stressful times of my life. I don't know what I would have done without you!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Stephanie and I worked together on a very complex contempt case that involved business and banking issues. I found Stephanie to be a very competent and diligent attorney. She is a great communicator and always responds to e-mails, motions, phone calls, etc. in a timely fashion. We had a very nasty opposing counsel who started making personal attacks against us near the end of the case. Stephanie never let him get to her and always responded to his remarks with class and professionalism. We ended up winning the case and saving our client a LOT of money. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephanie and will definitely send her referrals in the future. I'm just looking for the next case we can try together because it was such a great experience!"

"As a fellow attorney and as a mediator, I have worked with Ms. Salb for many years. While she zealously advocates for her clients, she is aware of the benefits of settling the case amicably and saving her clients the expense and stress of going to court. I have referred cases to her and believe that she always gives her clients personal attention and shows genuine concern for their best interests. I highly recommend Ms. Salb as an outstanding family law attorney."

"I have known Stephanie for quite some time and have worked with her on several occasions. We have had cases where we were on the same side and several cases against each other. In each case, Stephanie was thoroughly prepared, knowledgeable, and professional. In the legal field, the highest compliment we can pay to another attorney is to trust them with referrals. When our firm cannot take a client due to a conflict or for other reasons, we do not hesitate to refer them to Stephanie. We know that she and her staff will take good care of them. Simply put, a great lawyer and a great person."
