excellent results

I had an embarrassing situation that turned serious and Stephanie did not judge me. She cared about my case, worked hard on it and I ended up very happy with the results.

Phenomenal defense!

Hired her services twice. The first time she took care of everything and explained everything that was required of me, without sugar coating anything. She explained the prosecutors perspective and made sure to answer any and all questions I had for her. The end result was better than I could've ever ...hoped and she made sure to keep in touch with me throughout the entire process. The second time I utilized her services she has come to feel like a motherly figure for me in the legal system. I cannot thank her enough for keeping an open mind and caring as much about my freedom as close family and friends. I felt very reassured with her as my defense. There have also been multiple instances where I have been applauded for choosing her services by the local Bloomington residents.

Don't Hire Her !

We hired Ms Wong to handle my daughter’s case in ‘attempted resisting arrest’ charges by a Normal police officer. Ms Wong was not the least interested in fighting for my daughters rights, trying to win this case, or give us sound legal advice. She only wanted to cash in on her “college student from... the big city” (her words!) Her recommendations were to not go to trial because we would lose. She recommended pleading guilty and letting it go. Later we found out there were prior issues with the arresting officer, and the officer ended up resigning just after the case went before a judge. She could have had the case thrown out, but didn’t even bother to research. Definitely do NOT recommend her.

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.
