Marriage Dissolution December 2016

Stephanie...I want to express my deep appreciation for the help and support you offered me regarding my recent marriage dissolution. I feel very grateful to you for the time you committed to the process and answering my many questions. Without your help, I doubt I would have been able to stay the cou...rse with such a good attitude. I consider myself very fortunate for having a chance to work with an expert of your caliber. Working with you was a great learning experience for me. I really valued the knowledge and insight you have, and your willingness to share your thoughts with me in a manner that I understood. I credit you for the success of this endeavor as well as for your professionalism. I will highly recommend you and your firm to my friends and associates going forward. Thank you...shannon

Child Custody

When researching for a successful attorney for Child Custody in the Dubuque area, Stephanie was the name that was recommended to me by several attorneys/ peers, and she did not disappoint. Stephanie was very professional and "laid out the law" in black/white, was honest and upfront through the entire...ty of my case. She provided excellent guidance and knowledge, and her feedback was not only timely, but extremely helpful. She went to bat for me when the occasionally difficult issues were raised. Stephanie is not only strong, but compassionate. She understands the importance of the occasionally sensitive topics that pertain to child custody, and also understands the importance of both of the parents being in a childs life. My case was resolved in less than a year, and I am now spending quality time with my daughter... time that was not likely without the quality services and efforts of Stephanie. I recommend Stephanie as your attorney, and do so without reservation.

Best Attorney I Could Have Ever Asked For

Stephanie helped me with my divorce/custody battle, which was extremely high conflict. She never stopped fighting for me and my daughter. After 1 1/2 years of false allegations, orders of protection, DCFS and police investigations, she got me sole custody of my daughter. I am extremely grateful for h...ow she defended me through everything and never stopped fighting when the other party did everything in their power to prevent any progress. She is extremely dedicated, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. Also, even though the other party did a number of questionable things, she fought very aggressive, but stayed completely ethical. She always got back to me when I had questions right away. She is the best attorney I could have ever imagined having for this process and gave me an outcome I would have never imagined getting in the beginning of this process.

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.
