We worked with Stephanie and her team to get our estate in order and set up our trust. I couldn't be happier with the whole process. It was easy and quick and she was very knowledgeable with all of our questions. Highly recommend!!

Stephanie was referred and recommended by a good friend. I referred Stephanie to my parents in connection with review of their estate documents. They were engaged, and worked with Stephanie to revise various documents as necessary. Following my father's passing, she and her team (collectively, "Stephanie" or "she") administered the estate, and contacted necessary parties. As an attorney, and one who engages counsel in my professional role, I'm very discerning. My experience with Stephanie is that she is extremely professional, diligent and good at what she does. Stephanie is dedicated to and cares about her clients. Talking to people about matters associated with their mortality, and following through with family, is no doubt extremely challenging. But she approaches and handles deftly, with the best mix possible of professional and personal qualities. She is able to connect with people who have little knowledge about process, and who may be intimidated by it all, to offer excellent guidance and representation. She helps clients take a higher level, strategic view of their goals (that may evolve), and to put legal directives in place that optimize those objectives, while connecting and walking clients through the process at the most human, compassionate level. I offer my highest praise and recommendation.

I approached Stephanie thinking I had a unique matter that needed to be handled. Upon discussing further Stephanie wowed me with her knowledge of situations similar to mine and the strategy we would pursue. Overall she was 100% correct - and we were able to get the outcome we were seeking. Throughout the process she maintained communication and answered all my questions in a timely matter. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephanie to any of my friends or family. She rocks!

She was hired end of 2019 to file on our behalf to notify the court of misappropriation of funds involving a trust. She had a very aloof and laid back attitude and she often ran late to our hearings. This wasn’t to my liking but again this is a personal preference at this point. She took over three months to “research” the matter and her billing practices were interesting to say the least. She charged for emails, phone calls down to the minute. Best of all her legal assistant presented us an invoice using the same rates as a lawyer minus the credentials. When asked why her assistants rates were as so she replied by simply saying: “ Good catch”. Next she charged us for the time she spent consulting and talking over our case with the other and only other lawyer at her firm. Throughout my years I have never seen such type of charges unless additional counsel is needed. Keep in mind we hired her to file a fairly simple motion. Make a long story short she seemed knowledgeable but dragged her feet a lot and padded the bill a whole lot more charging down to the most minute of items. She even charged me for the email containing her final invoice. If you hire her keep a close eye on your billing cause she racks her fees fast and high. Proof of billing available upon request.
