Worth MORE THAN 5 stars & a 4,000 word limit!!

Stephanie Greaves is an impeccable human being & a top tier attorney that is more than beyond capable of handling the most complex divorce cases. In my own years of experience, (yes, years because the ex & company thought they were the Almighty being granted continuances with sneaky & low stonewallin...g tactics & making a mockery of the legal system), this didn't end too well with him & Mrs. Greaves made sure of it! I had faith & zero fears with Mrs. Greaves by my side! She is extremely knowledgeable & diligent while working on my case with a high work ethic, an honest, direct & moral compass to walk with me on my arduous journey of divorce. Mrs. Greaves & her team of fearless warriors are kind, patient, understanding & truly treat you as if you are a part of their tribe. Their communication & plan of attack (ooops, I mean plan of action) was superb from the word "GO." She developed & executed a masterful legal strategy that continuously pummeled my ex & left his numerous counsels in the dust with their heads hanging low. And it was all legally classy, full of grit & a refrigerator full of “Kick A & take names.” Mrs. Greaves & her team have an unsurpassed level of expertise in all aspects of family law. They are extremely compassionate, sincere, & dedicated class act professionals with a wealth of knowledge & experience you can ALWAYS count on! She is highly valued & respected within the local legal community & state. She is a highly ethical, moral professional with high values & standards that you can see & feel from her the moment you meet with her. Since day one, she was & still is to this day, a true “God wink” for my boys & I to have in our lives. My entire time with her firm, I felt valued, heard & protected, therefore, turning a daunting process into a manageable journey with every interaction filled with altruistic empathy, genuine care & an expertise that is unparallel & unmatched in the family law world. P.S. Ask her to see the homemade G.O.A.T trophy that my nephews made for her & her amazing lawyering & life changing self! P.P.S. Do yourself another favor & listen to Andra Day’s “Rise Up”!

Top notch lawyer-Stephanie Greaves

Stephanie is a true treasure & God sent to our family! She walked our family legal journey hand in hand and treated us like her very own family! Stephanie took our burdens and worries and we are forever grateful for her thorough care, knowledge, and level of professionalism given. Stephanie is easy ...to understand, sharp, & extremely detailed! Stephanie & her entire legal staff made our “season” less stressful and easier to navigate. We are forever grateful for Stephanie and count ourselves blessed to have her a part of our lives!

Step parent adoption

Stephanie worked really hard for us even when we had difficulty from the other party and she kept us informed on what step in the process we were in. When the big day came for the final hearing she even put the effort to make my son a big part of it. I recommend her to anyone who needs a family law a...ttorney!
