Extremely Competent, Responsive, Effective

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 i...ssue 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.

Highly Recommendable!

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.

Civil problem.

Stephanie is really a great attorney. She handled my case so well. I highly recommend her if you need any kind of representation in a legal sense.

Personal and professional lawyer

I was being charged with drug sales. This lawyer kept in touch with me, let me know exactly what was going on, and helped me through all this. I hope to never need her again, but will call her up if I ever do!

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.
