Stefanie Noel Brabec

Obviously just because you hire an attorney doesn't mean you will win, and a lot of lawyers get bad reviews because the client wasn't on the winning side. But as far as lawyers go Stefanie is awesome. She is prompt in all her e-mail responses and gives you realistic answers to questions even if its n...ot what you want to hear. You can truly tell she cares for you as a client and isn't just looking to make money. Not to mention with most lawyers you deal with their paralegals most of the time but with Stefanie my husband and I have dealt with her directly and that is a great quality in an attorney. I spoke with several attorneys before my husband and I made the decision on which one to pick. After speaking with Stefanie on the phone I knew she was going to be our choice. We are still in the middle of all our legal proceedings and I have nothing but good things to say about her (and yes we didn't get what we wanted at our initial hearing). Stefanie is great and definitely worth retaining as legal counsel.

Used this attorney for several years because she gave me a lowered rate and knew my family matters and I thought that was relevant. In hindsight, this attorney did me no favors and has cost me money with no positive results. All matters, each time, were dragged out and all resolutions only coming abo...ut because of random luck or time fixing these family matters. I thought she was working for me but seemed to really want to stay on good terms with other attorneys in Orange County instead. I have never felt like I'd been used by an attorney so much with no clear gains. Any positive feelings I've had about the legal system has now completely changed. I am now wary and distrusting of any attorney. It's been quite a shock to have gotten to this point. I could've done much better paying more and getting a bulldog instead of the pussycat I chose. You get what you pay for people! Foolish-me, no more.
