This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best decision I ever made

Hiring Stefanie as my attorney was the best decision I ever made. Facing a CPS case that threatened to terminate my parental rights unjustly was incredibly stressful and traumatizing, but Stefanie and her team stood by me every step of the way. Stefanie fearlessly fought against CPS, advocating fierc...ely for both me and daughter. With Stefanie as my voice, we won our case and kept our family together. She also helped me secure a 17-year protective order for me and my daughter, ensuring our safety and security moving forward. I cannot recommend Stefanie and her team highly enough. Her office staff were always patient and supportive, no matter how many questions I had or how often I called. Their professionalism, empathy, and unwavering support were crucial in achieving justice and preserving my family. They were a blessing for me and my family when we needed it most and I will forever be grateful to them.

Legal assistance for my Divorce

It was a pleasure working with Stefanie and her professional team, they were always so kind and helpful. We all go through rough situations and feel helpless sometimes, but with her support and extensive legal knowledge she always made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. I hired her to assist ...me in my divorce, it was a long process (because of the other party) but Stefanie always helped be stay positive and constantly offered her help to resolve any and all issues. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Best attorney ever

I hired miss stefanie when i got served and am so thankful that i did. She was extremely helpful and very thorough with all of my questions and concerns. I couldn’t have gone through family court without her. I 100% suggest her for anyone facing family court or custody issues

A new Beginning

Let me start by saying I was the Respondent to this case (I didn't file for the divorce, my ex-husband did). I never imagined this was something that I would be going through but I am so happy and lucky to have had Stefanie and her team to represent me. I was ready to just sign and walk away with not...hing from this divorce. We had children and property involved in this case. I was honestly scared not know anything, but let me tell you Stefanie has so much knowledge and super sharp. There was no curve ball that she wasn't able to hit. This trial was a great challenge yet she made sure we came out on top. I highly recommend her and her team. Maria is very comforting to have by your side, she actually accompanied us in the trials and honestly it made me really happy to have her there. Michelle is part of her team and relates any messages quickly. They both do a great job communicating with you even of Stefanie isn't in the office. I came to Stefanie having absolutely nothing but walked away having enough to get me started on a new path with my children. Thank you Stefanie, Maria and Michelle for giving me a new beginning!!!!
