The best of the best

I got arrested for the 1st time in my life for something, for which one couldn't even think of getting arrested. The DA did not file charges. I consulted the best attorney in town and he told me it is best to just leave it as is and not contact the DA. I was highly disappointed and stressed because a... lot of major future events of my life were put on hold because of this case. Then I somehow got connected to Stephanie and met her. I explained my entire case, then she made some phone calls in front of me, which ended up having a conversation with the DA. After a few weeks, I get a call from her saying that my case has been rejected by the DA. This news is like a life-changing news for me and made me so relieved & happy. I noticed couple of things, first of all- her personality and style, its top-notch, the way she talked to the DA and DA's team was in a way that they'd be happy to go an extra mile to do what she is asking to be done, whereas other attorney I spoke to was hesitant to do this because he wasn't confident and thought it would worsen things for me. Stephanie knew how to navigate through this situation and was bold & confident in making phone calls, making sure that it doesn't worsen things for me. She is an expert in this field because she will use the best approach to tackle the case to get the best outcome for you. If she takes your case, then literally just leave everything on her, and the result you will get at the end is something no other attorney might be able to get. Lastly, my case didn't even fall under the counties she took care of, still she did all this work for free. I was in such a situation that I'd have paid any amount she'd have asked for, but she didn't charge any fee. She is a gem of a person, the type of person who actually cares about you, as if you are her family. Honestly, I still can't figure out how to reciprocate to her for such a big favor, I owe her. I highly recommend her, thank you Stephanie!!!!

Great Professional

Stephanie was the first one I contacted based on the reviews, and I'm glad I trusted others' opinions. Anyone can get into a difficult life situation and if you need a knowledgeable attorney that is honest, tactful and empathetic, look no further. Also, legal is not my first language, and Stephanie p...atiently explained every step of the process. My case took 6 months before court, Stephanie represented me without me being in there, which was already relieving. Separate 'thank you' to Linda - Stephanie's assistant. She is communicative, very sweet and kind. Great office with true professionals. Thank you for your service.

A Lawyer's Lawyer

Stephanie was there for me when I needed help the most. She was sincere, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and impeccably efficient. She navigated the contours of my case in a way that made it hassle-free for me; I never had to set foot in a court room or appear before a magistrate. As a f...ormer litigator myself I can confidently say that Stephanie has both the legal mind and the practical experience needed to navigate anyone's case. She has my utmost gratitude and I cannot recommend her services enough!

The best attorney you can hire

I was arrested for a DUI last April, I’d never been arrested before and the whole situation had me on edge for what felt like a lifetime. I read through Stephanie’s reviews and I knew she would be the best person to help me. At first I was a little wary that her reviews were too good to be true, but ...not even slightly! Stephanie and I spoke on the phone and she explained how the case would proceed, how long it would take and the different elements to it. She is incredibly patient (despite me being impatient as it was my first time) and knowledgeable, and does not promise anything that he cannot deliver. I met with her shortly after our phone call and we talked some more, she told me she would try his best to get my DUI down to a reckless driving. I was relieved that there was hope that I would be able to walk away from my situation without a DUI on my record for the next few years! I left her office with a huge smile on my face! Stephanie not only helped with my court case, but also with my DMV hearings which helped me not getting my license suspended and keeping my driving history clean. Finally my case had been rejected by the District Attorney’s and the charges have been completely dismissed! I’m so incredibly happy with the results Stephanie worked for and I feel so blessed to have Stephanie on my side to help me through my DUI! I would recommend as your first lawyer for the best outcome of your case.
