Stephanie Graham

A graduate of City University of New York and Duquesne University School of Law, Stephanie P. Graham, Esq. has more than 20 years of practicing law under her belt, and is licensed in Georgia, New Jersey and New York. In that 20 plus years, her experience includes prosecuting felonies, working with anti-trust, construction, business tort, trademark infringement, business law and more. But, it’s her passion for helping businesses and individuals protect their legacy that’s led her to zero-in on all facets of estate planning. With a pre-law background in banking, and personal experience dealing with family members who passed without a solid estate plan, Stephanie has seen (and felt) first-hand the complicated, painful ramifications of an estate plan’s absence following an untimely death or unfortunate accident. 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. Together with her daughter, the mother-daughter duo volunteers with numerous non-profit organizations throughout the City of Sandy Springs.
