About
I am Stephanie J. Hill, the founding member and managing partner of Hill Crabb Law firm. I grew up in small-town Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. After graduating high school, I went on to obtain my bachelor's degree in American Law and Legal Systems from Hamline University in Saint Paul, and then my law degree from the University of St. Thomas School of Law.Prior to attending law school, I was introduced to the court system as a party in a family law matter. After nearly two years of litigation, five days of trial and more than $50,000 in legal expenses, I prevailed. I became an attorney to help others who face divorce and related family law issues.No one understands the stakes better than someone who has stood in your shoes and knows firsthand what you stand to lose. I will approach your case with a fierce advocacy and understanding compassion. In my personal and professional experience in the family law system I have learned that what clients want is a strong advocate who is a responsive and empathetic listener. For that reason I make myself available to clients beyond normal business hours to ensure their concerns are promptly addressed and their needs met.

Stephanie is an exceptional listener - from the initial phone consultation for initiating a divorce - to addressing many concerns through the difficult process. She is responsive, extremely professional and was a calming force through issues I was unable to navigate without her guidance. As a client it was apparent from the beginning I was in knowledgeable, experienced hands. I am grateful for her sensitivity coupled with a strong desire and ability to achieve the best outcome possible for me. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone needing an expert lawyer who is a great listener.
When I hired Stephanie as my lawyer, she surpassed My expectations! She handled my case with compassion, care, and diligence! She found common ground with me, & made me feel comfortable to trust her with proceeding with my divorce case. She is very knowledgeable, and won’t back down to fight for you. She made this process stress free and was there for me when I needed her. She was my advocate & we were able to get everything I asked for & MORE, she is a true blessing and thank god for her being my lawyer! My life has taken a complete 180 & I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Stephanie !
Hired Stephanie Hill to give me the best outcome from my military spouse who was adamant about not giving up any part of his pension. Separating other assets in our marriage was equally difficult whereby, I wanted to settle for less just to end two stressful mediations. She was confident and convincing that I would get what is fairly mine, and she was right. Our case was fairly divided and settled without any confrontations. Thank you Ms. Hill.
I recently was heading in the direction of a divorce when I was referred to Stephanie Hill thru a neighbor. I reached out to her and heard back immediately. She was extremely helpful and accessible thru phone calls and text messages the entire time. I greatly appreciated being able to reach out and text any and all of my questions and uncertainties day and night during such a difficult time. She always responded in a timely manner. She was always very professional but also caring and encouraging on the tough days. Considering the circumstances and being such an emotional time my experience with Hill Crabb was excellent. They not only helped walk me thru the beginning stages of divorce and court ordered issues they also help me negotiate and reconcile with my husband.
Although it wasn’t fun needing a lawyer, Stephanie was the best I could have asked for. She is easy to work with, very kind, and compassionate. She is also very tough and does what it takes to get the job done. Can’t thank her enough.
In this day and age, it is hard to find people that have a great moral compass, good values, and high ethical standards. Stephanie embodies those as an attorney. She has an amazing knowledge and understanding of the law as well as a dominating presence in a court room. She made complex issues easy to to understand and has a great sense for strategy with difficult matters. Legal issues can be very emotionally draining, emotionally difficult, and emotionally taxing. Stephanie's direction made navigating the journey so much easier. There are lots of attorneys out there but few great ones. Stephanie is one of those great attorney's. You will be happy to have her on your side.
Where to start, Stephanie was wonderful to have on my side during the divorce. Our first phone call was over an hour long where she took time to get to know me and what I wanted out of the process. Not once during this call did she lose interest. She would always let me know if something I wanted was feasible or not. After she was retained she was very clear and concise on what she needed from me to move forward. She was very punctual when we set up phone calls to discuss issues, not once did she not answer when we had a scheduled time. She returned phone calls on the same day that I left them. Several times she went above and beyond what I would have expected from a lawyer. She would call to check in after opposing counsel would send over a less than favorable proposal. Make sure you actually listen to her when she tells you something because she is right. Several times I did not listen to her and it just made her job harder so when she says to do or not do something listen to her. As for price she was fair and reasonable with her hourly rate and honestly I would have paid her a lot more if she would have let me. Overall she made the process as painless as a divorce can be. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Hands down one of the best lawyers in MN.
I guess starting at the beginning makes sense... Before I contacted Stephanie I was completely lost, hopeless, and very confused about my future, having been blindsided with a divorce service while serving on Active Duty with the USAF half-way across the country from my now, thanks to Stephanie, ex-wife. Plainly put, I had no idea what to do as my spouse was asking for the world, and I didn't want to go through a "messy divorce", so giving in to her demands just seemed like the easier route to go. Thankfully, I listened to my family and started searching the Twin Cities area for an experience attorney who understood the challenges of dealing with these life changes while serving in the military, and the special issues that come up like the G.I. Bill, TriCare, etc. I used my Google and found Steph right away, swallowed my pride, and gave her a call. She answered the phone herself and talked with me for almost two hours just at the drop of a hat because I needed the help. It’s probably the best two hours I've ever spent, as I felt such an immense sense of relief that my future would be alright and we'd get through this together, in one piece, and that my spouse wouldn't get even close to what she was asking in her divorce petition. My ex was betting on me not hiring a lawyer. I hired Steph the same day and she got right to work on my case, absolutely without hesitation. Right away, I could tell Steph was smart, kind, and very understanding of my predicament, not to mention extremely knowledgeable about divorce law. I was stationed in Maryland while my spouse and kids were living in Minnesota, so not only could I not deal with this in person, we had to deal with the time difference and my night-time work schedule. Steph handled these issues as the ultimate professional. She gave me so much time and patience in getting all of my paperwork done, getting back to her, and figuring out all of my positions I wanted her to articulate in our response to my spouse's original petition. I can’t say enough about Steph and her staff’s communication, they were ultra-responsive to my many calls, emails, texts, etc. and were available 24/7, it was awesome… as awesome as going through a divorce can be anyway. She was a rockstar in our one mediation session, and finally got my ex to see the light that she wasn't going to get the world like she was asking. She plays hardball and plays to win, it's fun to watch, but she's very compassionate and nice about it, Minnesota nice, don'tcha know? Hiring Stephanie to help me with this most difficult of life issues is one of the smartest things I’ve ever done; words can’t describe how much better I felt after our first talk on the phone. She saved me from making a huge mistake in just going along with what my ex-spouse wanted, and talked me through all of our available options along the way with a ridiculous amount of expertise. I wanted to go to law school before I met Steph, but now I’m dead-set on it just to get as smart as her. If you’re in the military, or not, and going through a divorce in Minnesota I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough, she’s simply the best and will change your life. And she’s really funny. Thanks, Steph! I'm sure we'll talk soon.
I consulted with Stephanie after doing a search for military lawyers. Stephanie is very up front and honest about all of the cost, and procedures. I am a 20 year veteran of the Navy, she treated me with that level of respect. Whenever I had questions all I had to do was contact her and the answers were on the way. All of my dealings with her were over the phone and email due to me living in another state. The whole court process was painless and easy, like it should be. I give her my highest recommendation to any person seeking representation.
I was referred to Stephanie by a friend and she came highly recommended. From the initial consultation about my case through my divorce being finalized, she lived up to the praise. She brings energy, knowledge, experience and common sense approach to law that made the process more understandable and smooth. Our case presented some challenges and at times became stalled. Stephanie did an excellent job advancing the process and moving us toward settlement. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs a divorce or family lawyer.
