Stefani is a godsend

Stefani helped me immensely with my prenup. I'm incredibly grateful to have had her in my corner- wow. Honestly, I feel like my life-both financially and in my relationship-is on a completely different (and much better) track thanks to her influence. She helped me realize and get a handle on many mis...takes and bad financial habits I had unknowingly been making for a long time in my relationship. I’ve always thought of myself as quite financially savvy, but what went over my head was the way my current habits would continue to evolve and snowball over the years in the context of marriage—especially in the unfortunate event that my fiancé and I part ways in the future, which is a hypothetical but very real (for all of us!) situation I hadn’t sincerely thought all the way through. This is a situation which is so easy to ignore when you’re planning a wedding and a future with your partner- a time when you're exclusively focused on showing your partner generosity. Not only did Stefani drill into me the unfairness of what could/would happen if my marriage were to end, but more importantly she also helped me understand how crucial creating equal power dynamics and risk mitigation (via a good, fair prenup) is to setting us up for long-term success IN our marriage. Stefani helped me explore many different avenues that could allow my fiancé and me to share risk more fairly and each meet our own financial goals—while also setting us up to see eye-to-eye and truly be a strong team in our marriage. In other words, she helped me enormously in my (and my fiancé's) efforts to craft a prenup that would be uniquely perfect for the two of us.

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.

Prenuptial

Stefani was amazing - she was thorough and fast, as when I came to her, I was under a tight timeframe to get things worked out prior to our wedding date. She was able to meet the deadline while still ensuring that I had all the information and fully advocating for my needs and best interest. She is ...extremely knowledgeable and honest, while factoring in your unique situation and emotions. I only wish I was in a position to have fully taken all her insightful advise. I highly recommend - So grateful to have found her !!!

Much more than a Lawyer!!

Stefani is not just a lawyer; she’s like a life coach, a spiritual director, digging into her considerable toolbox (lucidity, clear-thinking, wisdom, hyper-rational big-picture thinking, legal mind, etc.) to help you think through your problem and solve it. She’s the one you want at your side to guid...e you through life’s thorny issues.
