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 a...lso 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.

Not only does he take time and care to craft well thought-out and instructive answers here on Avvo, but he often invites the questioners to ask follow ups if need be.

Divorce and separation lawyer | 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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
