learn to maintain professional boundaries

I regret hiring Stephanie Koether. I had to fire her after experiencing ongoing disrespect and a lack of representation. She made inappropriate and hurtful comments, including telling me that I did not deserve anything and that my children were entitled and needed to “learn to live with less.” T...hese are not the words of someone advocating for their client. I also witnessed her speaking with my ex-husband outside of my presence, which raised serious concerns about professionalism and boundaries. Instead of feeling supported during one of the most difficult times in my life, I felt judged, dismissed, and alone. I would not recommend her services.

GET STEPHANIE!

Life is not easy, divorce makes it much much worse. Stephanie gets it! She helped me through a very rough emotional patch and also acquired a favorable outcome in a situation that was not promising at first. Stephanie knows the law, she's excellent at what she does, she's compassionate and very patie...nt. She's fair, she's honest and she's a fighter. She's FOR HER CLIENTS 100%! I found her by the grace of God. I was looking for another attorney and called Stephanie thinking she worked with her... There are no coincidences and I'm so glad that I was sent to her "by accident". I don't recommend divorce but if you find yourself in that situation, GET STEPHANIE! She's the real deal. Love You!

A True Legal Warrior

Where do we even begin? Stephanie is our HERO. She was an angel sent by God during some of the toughest times in an exhausting and, at times, seemingly hopeless process. After contacting other firms that refused to take on an out-of-state relocation custody case, labeling it a "loser," we found Steph...anie, who brought us a total victory—a full custody win for out-of-state relocation. Stephanie was honest, thorough, and provided invaluable insight and feedback throughout the entire process. She is always a step ahead, with a deep understanding of the procedures and intricacies of the legal process. Her ability to think several steps ahead, read the room, and take the appropriate actions made all the difference. In the courtroom, she was a WARRIOR for my fiancée, fiercely defending someone who had endured years of abuse and control. Even when we were uncertain about the outcome, she was upfront about her perspective, giving us a clear understanding of what might happen. Her confidence, expertise, and determination were exactly what we needed to win. She didn’t just represent us; she advocated for us as if she were fighting for her own family, ensuring that justice was served that day. We are incredibly thankful to God for bringing her into our lives for this case. Stephanie is compassionate, with a genuine heart for her clients and a deep commitment to justice. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal support. We can't imagine using anyone else for future needs. Words can't fully express how much she has saved us from what could have been a devastating outcome for both the child and us. We cannot recommend her enough!

You want Stephanie in your corner!

This woman is a superhero! The amount of gratitude I have for how beautifully Stephanie represented and supported me during my divorce is something I cannot express or ever repay. I went through a high conflict divorce that involved young children. Stephanie was the second attorney in my divorce cas...e. My original attorney hired her to represent me when my divorce case went to trial and my original attorney was not available for my trial. At first, I was frustrated that I had no say in who would be representing me at my trial but what a gift she turned out to be. A staff member from another family law office mentioned to me that if they needed a divorce trial attorney, Stephanie Koether would 100% be the one they hired because she is incredible in the court room. From my first meeting with Stephanie, I felt so comfortable with her and knew that she was passionate about my case. From day one, she began rescuing me in ways I didn’t even know I needed rescuing. First she is brilliant! She knows family law and the local players inside and out. She worked brilliantly on my case and helped create solutions that both parties could agree on. She educated me on the realities and likelihood of each scenario so that I would be prepared and could make the best use of my time and money. When my former spouse and I could not agree, she advised me how to navigate those situations so we could find solutions and language that the court would approve. After learning the personalities and ugly history of my specific situation, she helped create parenting plans that would provide much needed protection and structure for my family. Secondly, her intuition is spot on. She quickly got up to date on the people, personalities and bizarre dynamics involved in my case. She anticipated issues and created solutions before the issues even came up. She may be young, but she is very experienced and respected in her industry. Thirdly, she is passionate about her clients. She fights for and protects her clients like they are her children. She protected me from attacks and created a structure to continue to protect me and my children from the chaos that divorce can create. When necessary, she told me the hard truths honestly yet gently. She pushed me when I needed pushing and also sat with me patiently providing support when the sadness of divorce became overwhelming. When I didn’t understand something, she explained it to me calmly and succinctly. Stephanie consistently responds quickly and is easily accessible. I would highly recommend Stephanie Koether to anyone going through a divorce, specifically a high conflict divorce. You want and need Stephanie in your corner!

Trust Her With My Life

You know how people ask you who your hero is? People often name celebrities or sports icons. I will forever name Stephanie Koether as my hero! I would highly recommend Stephanie Koether! I trust this woman with my life which is exactly what I had to do when going through my divorce. At the beginning..., I had found an attorney who turned out to be a nightmare. I was referred to Stephanie by an attorney who lost in court against her. I followed his advice and called her right away. Stephanie took the time to listen to my story and started fighting for me right away. She started putting together a game plan for my case and it was obvious from the start, that she knew her stuff. Stephanie was always accessible and during times when she was occupied I was contacted back within 24 hours. I was not lost in the shuffle. Stephanie formed parenting plans, settlements and motions that would lead to the best outcomes and futures for me and my 4 children under the age of eight. She took the time to help me understand the benefits and disadvantages to each motion and plan. I was never pressured to do anything I was not comfortable with. I felt supported and validated by Stephanie every step of the way. I trust her whole heartedly to look out for myself and my children. Trust me and my review by hiring her for your next case, you will not be disappointed.
