Licensed to practice law in 1982 I went on to get an LL.M. in taxation and estate planning. I have written two tax and estate planning books for Lexis Nexis, one of the largest legal publishing houses in the world. I also have written a number of law journal articles and specialty articles for electronic legal journals. I teach both continuing legal education courses in estate planning and tax for practicing attorneys and university courses in probate law and business law. I have been named one of the top estate planning attorneys for 4 years in a row by Milwaukee Magazine. I am regularly quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Smart Money and local media about estate planning matters. A third generation Milwaukee attorney, I grew up in Shorewood and Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin and currently reside in Shorewood.
My goal is to make sure you get the most thorough and appropriate estate plan for your situation. I will do my utmost to translate the legalese and make sure that you understand your documents and how they work. My clients also deserve the best possible personal care and to that end one of the myriad of things that I will happily do for a client is to make house calls if a client requests such.

Had to find another attorney
I hired mrs Rapkin because she was recommended by a friend. She was never on time for our meetings and was clearly not prepared. She would read material I sent days prior during our meetings and then I was charged extra time. I also smelled alcohol on her breath at more then one occasion. I ended up ...

Unprepared
Stephanie handled my case when I was accused for a crime I didn’t commit. I provided her with evidence and she failed to bring it to the trial. She was regularly unprepared and needed reminders when we talked on the phone about my case. Maybe she’s becoming forgetful as time passes.

5-Star Attorney!
I cannot recommend Stephanie Rapkin enough for estate planning needs! I really didn't know what to expect going into our estate planning process, but I will say that Stephanie completely over-delivered on any expectations that we had. She made my husband and I feel at ease with the whole process a...
