Excellent Lawyer

I went to one of Ms. Scarborough’s information sessions on estate planning. Her presentation was so clear and enlightening, and she seemed so straightforward that I made an appointment at the end of the meeting. I am glad that I did. She is honest and helpful and set up an estate plan for me. I l...iked her so much and was so happy with her work that I recommended her to my relatives.

Exceptional Legal Service

A few months ago, a friend who had previously used Stephanie's legal service recommended her to me. She handled the filing of my work visa and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her legal advise and great attention to detail was remarkable. She kept me informed all through the process. I strongly recomme...nd her legal service.

Excellent Legal Service

Stephanie is a lawyer I highly recommend. She provided me with excellent legal advice/service in getting my worker visa case approved. One thing that I really I liked about her service is that she was always available to listen to me and give advice—even after my worker visa had been approved. Matter... of facts, she helped 3 of my colleagues, who were in the same situation I was, get their workers’ visa applications approved.

Avvo Rating

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.
