She knows her stuff

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.... She asked how I wanted to go about things while guiding me in the way she thought the court would see fit. She's aggressive yet courteous. Her passion for law helped ensure that my legal needs were met from start to finish. I have two small kids and an ex that has substance abuse and mental health issues and she pushed for what was best for the safety of my kids. My divorce wasn't cheap but it was a battle from start to finish. I can't fully comment on the financial end because I'm not sure how her prices compare to others in town. I just know what I paid was more than worth it. I can't imagine having any one else as a attorney besides her.

Complicated case: Custody, Farm, Investments, Career

My divorce after a 20 year marriage had a lot of moving parts and I was completely impressed with how Stephanie had the capability and capacity to absorb it all. Stephanie is extremely intelligent, honest, dedicated to her clients, knows the law and she is an effective negotiator. But, most importa...ntly, she is compassionate and empathetic. She gets to know her clients, their emotions and all details regarding the case so the client feels understood and heard. My divorce included three children that I love dearly and almost 30 years of farming and a 20 year professional career. We needed to manage custody, alimony, real estate, 401k, investment portfolios, retirement plans, livestock, crops and machinery. I seriously felt Stephanie knew my life and my business almost as well as I did. She came up with custody and financial strategies that I hadn't considered which resulted with a settlement that we could all live with. I highly recommend Stephanie for her caring manner and attention to detail.

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.
