Attorney Stephanie Jean Sternke is a proficient, humane, and impeccable family lawyer.

Attorney Stephanie Jean Sternke is a caring, devote, and impeccable Lawyer. One of great knowledge and understanding of the law. With an exceptional professional tendency, Attorney Sternke meticulously helped me to be aware of the parameters of family law approximately 12 months ago, when she served... as my legal council in my divorce/seperation case. Her acumen in family law demonstrated formidable skills during the case in review to the extent that my wife and her attorney had to withdraw the case from the court system. Attorney Sternke understands the nuances of family law in greater depth and how it relates to, and/or interprets the fundamental factors of human relations. She has a keen sense of responsibility, and exhibited great empathy for me. When the case newly started, at which time I was deeply frustraded, Attorney Sternke will polite say to me "Andrew, you can vent on me all you want, I am your attorney and I am here to listen but do not vent on your wife, for that will not legally help our case." Stephanie is a very good listener, and a proficient communicator in all ramifications. She is very friendly and funny, sometimes she makes me to forget the pain of going through divorce, while at the same time she will skillfully make me to see the big picture of what lies ahead. When my wife's attorney communicated their withdrawal to Stephanie, she immediately called me and told me the good news. However, she did not take things for granted. Stephanie focused on the legal implications, and instantly advised me that we must legally update the divorce papers to reflect the new position of my wfie and her attorney in the divorce case, and that was done before 12 mid-night against the next business day. Attorney Sternke is a genuine people person, a critical thinker, and one that consistently kept me informed of all issues old as well as new when she was my attorney in my divorce case. She respects people, and she deserves to be greatly respected. There will never be an iota of hesitation on my part, to recommend Attorney Stephanie Jean Sternke to anyone that needs a real good lawyer. My experience with Stephanie makes me feel good whenever I think of a good lawyer who is also a good person.

My Lawyer for Life!

I can not even begin to tell you how lucky I am to have Stephanie Sternke as my Lawyer for Life. There is no way I would ever turn to another attorney to represent me for my Family Law needs. She is absolutely brilliant when it comes to knowing the law. At the end of my case, my ex even sent a ref...erral HER way telling the referral she is a "shark". Stephanie has the right mix of kindness and compassion to her clients and a quick sharpness to the opposition. I have used her services on multiple occasions and have never once been disappointed. If you are in need of an attorney, I would 100% recommend Stephanie J. Sternke. She will quickly become YOUR Lawyer for Life as well.
