Stephenie Gookins - Divorce Atty experience

I hired Stephenie Gookins as my divorce attorney two years ago, and have continued to leverage her post-divorce to help ensure my children are in the best co-parenting situation that they can be. Stephenie showed her knowledge of Indiana laws, precedence, and opposing counsel to fully prepare me for ...what to expect. Her advice was focused on: 1. Protecting me and my kids 2. Keeping my legal fees as low as possible by understanding up front the "end game" expectation Stephenie also did a great job of leveraging her very solid Paralegal, Cynthia Latty, to keep legal fees in check wherever possible. I would recommend this attorney and firm to anyone, and will certainly use them going forward, as needed.

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.
