It looked like there was no way out. Five months after a quick, easy rental, the rental company falsely accused us of non-return of the car and saddled us with a 5 digit fee. It's much harder to prove you didn't do something, and the company said "guilty until proven innocent." They sent debt collectors to our homes and work, and used the pre-authorization on our credit card to bill us the entire amount directly, sinking our credit. We tried to consult with family friend lawyers, and they said there was no chance of winning the case. That's when we called Stephanie Royal. Stephanie went to bat for us right away, and took over when we could go no further. First, she used communications from the company to show that the car had been stolen (and recovered) and stopped the flood of debt collection. Second, she advised us on communicating with our credit card company to freeze the transaction for as long as possible. She also started the process of repairing our credit. Finally, after 6 months of persistent communications, she got the rental company to reverse the original, unapproved 5 digit charge, winning us the situation with no loss and without having to go to court. Stephanie is a fighter. She whipped our opponents into shape with strongly worded, multi-media, and persistent communications. But more importantly, she was our ally. She talked us through every decision during those tough months and helped us control everything we could. Thanks to her advice I preserved my relationships with the credit card company and with my job. I'm not sure where we would be without her. Even if the situation looks impossible, I urge you to give Stephanie Royal a crack at it.

My family and I hired Stephanie in 2018 to represent us in defense our estate. She was successful in defending the estate against an attempt to falsely extort money by filing false claims against the estate. This was a 2 year process which involved multiple hearings. Ms. Royal was diligent in her preparations and as result we prevailed. She was always available to assist whenever we had questions or concerns, She was very professional but yet personable. This was a very stressful case but with her as our attorney she helped to ease our anxieties. One of the arbitrators involved in the case commended her on efforts in defending the estate. My family and I definitely made the choice in selecting Ms. Royal to represent us.

My family contracted the services of Stephanie Royale to handle necessary probate requirements and a related lawsuit. Ms. Royal provided exceptional and sound legal advice during the entire engagement. She listened attentively and ensured she understood our issues, concerns, and anticipated outcomes and only then proceeded to provide her advice and recommendations. She worked closely with us to address issues as they arose; maintained consistent and effective communication; and, kept abreast of all reporting actions. Her fees were reasonable and fair. Overall, we would definitely use Ms. Royal’s services again when needed and highly recommend her for any needed legal services.

Just a few words to describe Stephanie during our time together. I felt that she was personable and listened to my needs and then very straight forward with the company which yeiled great results. Once I contacted Stephanie, I no longer had to deal with the company and it took a lot of stress from me. She helped me get what I deserved and she was great to work with.

About a year ago, a contractor performed work on my home. Issues later arose with this work leading me to contact the contractor to request remediation. Despite ongoing calls, e-mails, and text messages over the course of months, I was ignored. It was incredibly frustrating and disempowering. Ms. Royal ensured that my voice was heard so that I was no longer a victim of this negligent contractor. What I couldn't resolve in months, she resolved within weeks. In response to her action, the contractor fixed the work free of charge, provided documentation about what was done to remediate the issue, and supplied a warranty that was supposed to be provided when the work was commissioned but wasn't. She was extremely responsive with her communication throughout the entire process and was very professional in her interactions with me as well as the contractor. It was an honor to receive her counsel and I would highly recommend her to others.

Stephanie Royal was able to provide me with great guidance regarding my pursuit to a lawsuit. She took the the time do some research on my behalf and informed me about some important details regarding the defendant. more importantly, even directed me to other attorneys who would be better suited to handle my case. This let me know she is results driven not dollar driven.
