Professional, attentive, knowledgeable

I contacted Stephanie Fueger in regard to my divorce and from the first time I met her I felt at ease and that she was very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Stephanie was professional, but personable and easy to talk to, she stays on topic, states the facts, helped me with decisions by letting me know ...clearly what my options were, she was wonderful about answering any questions I had during the entire process, inculding after the final decree was filed. One thing that I really appreciated was that Stephanie shared my view on timeliness and organization. I always had a response from her within a few hours or by the next day even if it was just to say that she had to check further to get a better answer for me. She made things easy to understand by skipping the legal speak and just telling me in plain English what it meant. I feel Stephanie has a strong work ethic and truly cares about the best interest of her client. She was an amazing help to me and support during this difficult process.

Stephanie Fueger is hands down the best divorce lawyer around

Stephanie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, fights for her clients, and doesn't sugar coat the truth. I recently went through a divorce, and despite the fact that it is inherently not a fun situation to be in, Stephanie got me through it with poise and complete understanding. She took h...er knowledge of my situation and fought for the best possible outcome. In fact, when it came down to it, the best possible outcome was exceeded with minimal (additional) love lost for all parties involved. I have 2 small children who are the most important assets to me (and my ex, to be fair) and the plan of attack never strayed from that point of view. Stephanie understood that wholeheartedly and we were able to come up with very amicable results to protect the children as well as financial assets. To say the situation could have escalated into a much worse result is an understatement. Stephanie kept my interests at the forefront and never backed down no matter how hard she was pushed back. Situations arise in life and sometimes you need an attorney. I highly recommend Stephanie based on the service she and her team provided me, and I hope all others are as fortunate as me in their "misfortune" of divorce.

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.
