Posted by Joy | June 27, 2026 | Hired Attorney

Working with Stephanie is a comfortable experience. She takes her time, assuring that I understand everything.

It is my privilege to write a recommendation for my attorney, Stephanie Haslam. Stephanie founded Compassionate Legal Care, which is aptly named, because she truly cares about her clients and goes out of her way to serve them. Stephanie has been a great resource for numerous of my family member...s. She helped my late husband and me with our estate planning and now, several years later, has prepared pre-nuptial agreements for my upcoming marriage. My father-in-law has benefited from her services as well. Additionally, I introduced her to my brother so he and his wife could update their legal documents. Stephanie drove to their home, quite a distance to do the signing, as it was easier for them. One of the things that has impressed me about Stephanie is her journey into the legal profession. She previously worked as an occupational therapist dealing primarily with adults with physical and mental disabilities. She discovered that the correct use of law is a powerful tool in protecting these vulnerable individuals, and she took that knowledge and compassion into forging a new career in law. For as long as I’ve known Stephanie, she has impressed me with her genuine interest in me and in helping me arrange my legal matters in a way most beneficial to me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
