Review Stephanie Arrache

Great advocate after a Stagecoach arrest

Posted by

Our 20 year old daughter was arrested for holding a beer at stagecoach. Stephanie was wonderful with explaining the process, and getting her record cleaned. We are very happy with the support as well as the results !

Absolutely Amazing!!

Posted by

From the very beginning, I knew that finding and choosing Stephanie to represent me was one of the best decisions I ever made. From the very beginning she was informative, responsive and confident in my case. She responds to every phone call, email, etc. within minutes and consistently delivers positive results. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I recommend her without hesitation

Posted by

Stephanie is an awesome attorney. She helped me through a case in 2014. She worked diligently and fought hard for me. As a result of her tenacity I was able to get a plea deal that was better than hoped for and that made the original DA made when she came back. HA HA too late. Stephanie will listen, advise and not steer you wrong.

Lawyer with Integrity

Posted by

Stephanie consulted and helped me to figure out a marijuana case my nephew thought he had (he has mental health issues), but he did not. Police accidentally mistook him for someone else when he was booked wondering the streets disoriented and cited him with a notice to appear in court. Her compassion and understanding in helping me sort this out has provided me with tremendous relief. I can honestly say she is someone with integrity and will go the extra mile to help with any case should you need her services. Even if you are not the type to call a lawyer, which I was hesitant at first, but sometimes it can all feel too overwhelming - My perspective has completely changed and now understand what an asset it is to have someone with the knowledge and expertise in the system. I know I will highly recommend her to anyone in the Desert and if you need any validation and are looking for a lawyer but have reservations, just call her for a consultation. You won't be disappointed! I cannot express the peace of mind it gives when you speak to someone who is a professional in their field and Stephanie is definitely that kind of attorney.

Extremely Competent, Responsive, Effective

Posted by

My daughter was caught for underage drinking at the Stagecoach Festival last year. Totally out of character for her, but that said, we were concerned for the legal ramifications as well the possible effect it may have with college admissions. We found Stephanie on her website. When we discussed the issue with her, the first thing she did was get us to see this wasn`t the end of the world and that there may be programs through the court to deal with this issue. Stephanie was able to get our daughter into a diversion program which consisted of a one day class. Her case was dismissed after completing the course. As parents we were pretty nervous about the whole thing, but Stephanie was responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased with our outcome. I recommend Stephanie Arrache without reservation, and will consider her for any other legal needs if they arise.

Two Consultations

Posted by

Stephanie Michelle Arrache provided a free consultation for our case. Her advice was sound and her compassion unparalleled. Our family attorney took the case as his schedule become more open. Stephanie Michelle Arrache took the time to provide a Peer Consult with our attorney providing valuable incite. As the case proceeds all of our attorney driven actions are a mirror of Stephanie's original advice. We could not be more grateful.

This lady is NO joke!

Posted by

Stephanie Arrache is an amazing woman. Beyond being a very hard working knowledgeable attorney, she has been a mentor and a friend. I myself have a severe issue with trusting people but Stephanie and I were able to build a trust like no other. She will never steer you in the wrong direction. I credit her completely to where I am at today in my life. She went beyond her job description to put me to focus on bettering myself through my case. I can honestly and whole-heartedly say Stephanie is the attorney you want by your side, in court and in life. I wont go into details on my case but she drastically had my punishment lowered and she also searched ways to help me around the punishment. Still to this day, Stephanie and I have a trusting relationship and would recommend her to anyone who needs help no matter the extent of the case!

Great Representation!

Posted by

I had troubles with an old felony case dating back to my teenage years. Stephanie was able to resolve the case in no time. She continued to inform me of anything going on & she was more affordable than anyone else. I would recommend her to anyone!

Highly Recommendable!

Posted by

Such an Excellent, Understanding and Passionate Attorney. Loves her work and truly cares for her clients. I recommend this Attorney in a heart beat! She never wavered in her dedication to my case, aggressively fighting for me and never giving an inch. When at times i thought there were no more hope, she provided me with security and reassurance. Stephanie is a great Attorney and she knows what justice is. A born fighter and a determined confident Attorney that gives her clients the best legal representation there is to offer no matter the predicament of her client(s). Without Stephanie, i dont know where I'll be today. Having defended me against a trumped up assault charge, facing life changing penalties, she successfully and skillfully unburden me of these charges. Because of Stephanie, i literally now have my life back! I couldn't have hired a better Attorney and now i couldnt have found a better friend in her. She is more than an Attorney, she is a true friend. I write this review with great pleasure and deepest of gratitude.

Very Honest Attorney with the Client's Best Interest in Mind!

Posted by

I received a drunk in public citation while on vacation and did not know what to do given that the potential charge for this offense is a misdemeanor. Of the four attorneys that I called, Stephanie was hands down the most honest and professional person that I spoke to. As part of her free consultation, Stephanie gave me a wealth of advice and never pressured me to engage her as my attorney. In fact, she actually insisted that I would likely be able to handle the charge on my own and explained in detail what I should do on my court date. Every other attorney that I talked to tried to "scare" me into hiring them. Stephanie did the complete opposite by winning my trust and will definitely be the attorney that I hire if I decide to engage counsel for my offense. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wants to work with a respectable professional who truly has the client's best interest in mind.
