About Stefan
Biography
I serve my family law clients by pursuing innovative, reconciliation-driven solutions to their legal needs when possible. I make this a priority by reducing conflict and serving the entire person—not just a legal issue. (This is important, and I can explain it better in person.)
When that's not possible, I fight.

Five Stars--QUICK results!
I hired Stefan to assist me with a custody arrangement with my now ex-husband. Stefan was courteous, professional, and quick to get the job done. Other attorneys did not want to take such a small job on, but Stefan was glad to take it on.

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE
It has been an absolute nightmare trying to work with Stefan! I hired him about 6 months ago. He does not return calls, messages, or emails. When he does, he is VERY unprofessional and acts like we are buddies! When we had an emergency hearing, Stefan showed up 45 minutes late to court, unprepare...

He seems great and fired up when you hire him but then takes the money and stalls. He wasn't sharp and focused on my case like he should...

Excellent and Efficient Attorney
Stefan was hired for my divorce case. I was looking for attorneys and calling around, and when I called his number he actually answered the phone, and spent at least 30 minutes talking to me. I knew immediately he was the attorney for me. I also went in person and had a free consultation and hired...

Worthless!
We spent about $1000 to retain him in a child custody case. It took him a year and a half to finish the case, and all we got was a small amount of child support. We wanted to make sure my ex didn't get his visitation modification enforced, but he never did anything! He just told me to go along with i...
