I wholeheartedly recommend Stefani.

She is savvy and explains concepts in an easy-to-understand way. She humorously, and with great tact, pointed out information that was hard for me to hear. She also simplified the process for me. I felt she honestly cared about me and my situation. She listens very well, and her writing was concise and persuasive. I believe she’s an accurate and trustworthy lawyer. I’ve referred her at least 6 times in recent years to my friends and colleagues in legal need. I consider her a 5-star attorney, for sure.

A Beacon of Light out of the Darkness in a Storm

Stefani helped me see a big picture, realistic, and encouraging pathway to achieving success with regard to modifying a custody and parenting plan with an uncooperative parent. She gave me the tools to get started and take action, and I look forward to working with her.

Great help with Prenuptial agreement

I hired Stefani to help my fiancee and I work on a Prenuptial agreement. We had a very tight deadline for completing the agreement and Stefani provided timely and insightful feedback, drafting a very good collaborative document in the process which covered the goals of both me and my fiancee.
