Smart Lawyer

Stephanie represented me in a convoluted dispute resulting from the outcome of an auto accident. The other party sued me in small claims court and won, despite the fact that my insurance company did not find me at fault and denied their original claim. When I told my insurance company of the judgemen...t in small claims, they offered to pay the judgement, which they did, but the other party never received the payment. So the other party got their own lawyer and pursued the payment the hard way (garnishment). At this point, it was a nightmare for me, and the only way it got solved is when Stephanie stepped in, evaluated the situation, made a recommendation to my insurance company to pay the other party the judgement plus their attorney's fees to make this nightmare go away for me. Stephanie was very concerned that if all parties went to court again at this point, that I'd ultimately lose due in part of the insurance company's mistake (they didn't send the original payment via registered or certified mail). The point is, Stephanie identified what was important in this case: me, and the fact that I was getting penalized for something that wasn't my fault. She also acutely understood that I was not getting access to my income for a period of time which could have screwed up my personal finances in a big way. I appreciate Stephanie's efforts, because she jumped on this case and evaluated it in a very quick manner and got the wheels to move in short order. It could have been much worse for me had she not been involved and I am grateful for her help.

  • 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.
