In that 20 plus years, her experience includes prosecuting felonies, working with anti-trust, construction, business tort, trademark infringement, business law and more.

It’s now her mission to bring estate planning to the masses because planning for tomorrow and preparing for the future is not a luxury solely afforded to the wealthy or for those seasoned in years – it’s for everyone. When she doesn’t have her sleeves rolled up finding solutions and planning for her clients, Stephanie has them rolled up in service to her community.
