Virtual Consultation Available
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.

Minor Guardianship

Child custody
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...

Child Custody Success
Stephanie was absolutely fantastic! When my ex-wife absconded to Iowa from Arizona, Stephanie helped me regain custody of my children using an emergency order. I first approached her to simply register a foreign custody order in Iowa in accordance with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enfor...
