Compassionate, Fierce, and Always Focused on What Matters Most

I first met Ms. Greaves and her team in 2019, just a month after giving birth to my daughter. I was emotionally overwhelmed, dealing with horrible postpartum and a crumbling marriage. Ms. Greaves showed immediate compassion and care, even arranging to have divorce papers served to her office instead ...of my home, an act I’ll never forget. Four years later, I found myself needing her help again when my husband tried to file for divorce out of the country after withdrawing his initial petition in Florida. Ms. Greaves and her team didn’t hesitate, they jumped in, kept me focused, and prioritized my daughter’s well-being. Although the case eventually moved to another state for jurisdictional purposes, Ms. Greaves fought hard for what was right and never wavered in protecting my daughter’s best interests. Her team was responsive, professional, and deeply committed throughout the process. I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend Ms. Greaves to anyone needing not just a skilled attorney, but a strong advocate who truly cares.

This Firm is the Gold Standard

I hired Stephanie and her excellent team of legal professionals to handle my uncontested divorce. She was extremely helpful, informative, and made the process as straightforward as possible. Her team was great to work with, easy to communicate with and was always responsive. Highly Recommend!!!!!

The best divorce attorney I could have ever hoped for

I can't say enough about good things about working with Stephanie and her team. During a time when I felt very small, alone, and scared, Stephanie felt like a lion walking beside me. My ex-husband tried to make the process difficult every step of the way, using intimidation tactics to bully me into s...ubmission (as he did throughout most of our relationship). Stephanie and her team stood up to him so I didn't have to, and it felt so liberating to have people in my corner after getting beaten down for so long. Stephanie is also incredibly conscientious with your budget, and she won't waste your time or money when it isn't absolutely necessary. I really appreciated that as well. I can't recommend her enough!

So lucky to have had Stephanie and the firm to guide me through

I had the privilege of working with Stephanie Greaves during one of the most challenging times in my life, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was incredibly informative, always providing clear, factual information and making sure I understood all of my options. It was evi...dent that she always had my best interests in mind, which gave me a sense of security throughout the entire divorce process. Their dedication and work ethic was beyond. They were responsive and consistently kept me updated on the progress of my case. I never felt out of the loop or uncertain about where things stood. Stephanie and her office worked to ensure that everything was handled with precision and care. I felt supported every step of the way, and their professionalism truly made all the difference. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and genuinely committed to helping you through a difficult time, I highly recommend Stephanie Greaves. They truly went above and beyond, and I am so grateful for their guidance and expertise.

Highly recommend.

Stephanie was the bulldog I needed on my difficult and highly contentious divorce case. She makes sure that the retainer is used carefully and is diligent about details and schedule. She gave me outstanding professional advice and gave me the pluses and minuses for each possible course of action. J...ust resolving the case wasn’t enough. She wanted me treated fairly under the law and warned against taking actions just for the sake of expediency when I would likely regret them later.
