Personal injury

Thank yo so much Ms.Lucia and Ms.Stephanie for working promptly and being so compassionate throughout my personal injury case! Ms.Lucia worked hard to reduce my medical bills and insured I received the most amount in personal compensation.there were times I had questions or doubts they would answer... me right away,Ms.Lucia and her team are amazing!always kept me informed as well

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!!!!

When You've Made a Mistake Stefanie's in Your Court!

I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life and needed help, guidance, and someone who understood. Stefanie was there for me from the beginning. Throughout the entire process, she and her legal team worked diligently and tirelessly on my behalf. I'm grateful she worked my case. Because of her k...nowledge and efforts, I received probation and community service. Without her it would have been so much worse. She and her team were always quick to respond either with a phone call or an email. Thank you Stefanie and team. You are all much appreciated.

Don’t bother spending your money here

If it could give na choice of no stars I would rate her this . Do not hire .. if you have other alternatives , then you better off going that way. I literally had to call to to their office and ask what’s going on my case which a client shouldn’t do. They took Weeks to return my calls and she would c...ontact me thru email , I only spoke to her about 3,4 times over the phone throughout the whole thing . Ridiculous.

I’m sorry to hear this. We would be happy to address this directly. We have not received any complaints from current or recent clients so please reach out and I will be happy to address. Unfortunately a lot of correspondence is done by scheduled calls since our main practice is within the courtroom during the day. Emailing is heavily utilized but someone is always available to address concerns and we want to make this right. Please let us know how to address this.

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.
