Review for Attorney Jeremiah Stephan

Jeremiah handled my Legal Separation Case very amicably. I find in him a very caring, responsive and knowledgeable young and upcoming Attorney. He ensures that he has understood the issues involved and has communicated to the client what is the likely outcome based on the Legal Statues involved. He also ensures that Client is treated fairly with respect to the Costs and Fees and is always willing to work out a financial arrangement to help the Client if needed.

Great lawyer!

Jeremiah is extremely client centered attorney. He listened everything I said and I needed to make happen. I really appreciate how much he respected me and cared for me as a client. I feel extremely lucky that he was my lawyer for the case. Thank you!

Paolo Nordini

Divorce and separation Attorney | Jan 12
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I couldn't possibly type enough to cover everything that's great about about Mr. Stephan's lawyering. Intense, comprehensive, and compassionate representation is everything you should expect from him. He has represented lawyers for their own personal legal matters, and if lawyers hire him, well then I can't think of a higher indicator of top-notch representation. I would very much recommend him for just about any divorce matter, custody, and for support related issues. Incredible lawyer and genuine human being. You'll have shorted yourself, if you don't meet with him, prior to hiring another lawyer. Worth your time and effort."
