I grew up in the tri-state area, and am happy to call it my family’s home today. I am proud to represent clients in this community with their family law and civil litigation needs.
As a mother, I bring a parent’s perspective to my family law practice, and I enjoy helping parents and families problem solve the issues that are most important to them. I strive for an approach to my clients’ problems that is understanding and empathetic, and also fairly and firmly advocates for their best interests. I understand the complex issues involved in family law cases, and I work for a practical solution. I have been trained in collaborative law, a cooperative approach to solving family law issues that employs a team mentality to the process, and I can offer that approach to my clients as they think about the best way to meet their needs. I am also a trained mediator and serve as a neutral third party to assist parties in resolving conflict and working toward a more peaceful future.
Not every legal issue is best resolved in the courtroom, but some cases demand a trial. When that’s the case, you can feel confident knowing that I pay attention to the details – both large and small. I am diligent in preparing your case to be presented to and resolved by the finder of fact – whether the judge or a jury. I am not afraid to take your case to trial, and I get to know my clients – their concerns, their goals, their strengths and their weaknesses, so I can prepare my cases for courtroom success.
Whether in a conference room at my office talking to my clients about their situations or in a courtroom advocating for their best interests, I am dedicated to the many people I represent. I am licensed in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin and available to serve clients in those states. Please call me if I can be of assistance.

Stephanie was my attorney for minor guardianship proceedings. She was easy to talk to and genuinely cared about the outcome of the case. She listened to my concerns, explained my options, and had papers drafted quickly. She was responsive to emails and kept me up-to-date every step of the way. He...

I retained Stephanie when filing for divorce back in April of 2020. Due to Covid, my finalization date was pushed way out to the Fall of 2021. She did an excellent job to guide me through the process and she knew her stuff on a high level. She's professional, responsive and blunt in a beneficial way....

I couldn't be happier with the choice of hiring Stephanie for the custody modification needed. She is not only compassionate and empathetic, taking the time to really get to know every detail of the case and listen thoroughly, she is also very aggressive when needed and proactive, seeking the best o...

Stephanie is excellent! Unlike other lawyers I tried to work with, she actually listened to what I had to say and was extremely helpful. She knows the law inside and out. My ex was using drugs, so she ordered a drug test which ultimately he ended up refusing, so it looked just as bad as a fail. Thro...
