Lawyer with Integrity

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.

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

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 consultat...ion, 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.

festival lawyer

I’m not sure where to start with my review other than saying I’m not sure where I’d be had I not found Stephanie Arrache. A festival goer, I landed in an extremely bad situation I wasn’t prepared for. From our initial conversation she made me feel understood, safe, and important. The following day...s, months, and on through a year she became my main strength with her legal knowledge and ability to ease my overactive(overly worrisome) mind. Saying she was there for me is an understatement as no matter the time of day, or how many questions I asked she gave constant resting assurance in her ability to resolve my issue. Boy was she right, her smarts as well as her personal relationship with everyone at the Indio courthouse was nothing short of magic. To sit back and realize how severely bad my case could have went, to the actuality of how small my sentencing was, was proof miracles do happen.

FANTASTIC!!!

Stephanie is GREAT attorney to work with. She always kept me informed with my case, even if there was nothing to update me about. I can't say enough about how great she is and how happy you will be if you hire her...you won't regret it! She is tough and knowledgeable. She fought hard for me and I... know she will do the same with ALL of her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie for any criminal defense case.
