"I worked with Stephanie on a recent divorce. Her client was struggling with the concept of being divorced and letting go of the relationship, which made it difficult for him to work through the financial aspects of the divorce. Stephanie worked with him well, ensuring that he properly understood everything we were agreeing to, while be understanding of his reluctance to participate. She did great advocating for her client even when he wasn't ready to participate himself."
"Stephanie is a sharp attorney that is fiercely committed to obtaining the best possible results for her clients."
"Stephanie is a good advocate for her client, yet remains committed to productive and reasonable settlement discussions."

"I endorse this lawyer. Stephanie is bright and enthusiastic family law advocate. She is extremely adept at collaboration and low conflict dissolutions. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
