Never did I ever guess I would need a lawyer. The time came though, and my wife and I needed legal help fast.
We decided to call around and found a lawyer who was willing to listen. Kelly Stephan listened to our problem and promised to help. We had a very challenging case, but both of them were there for every step of the way. They used their knowledge and experience to help us win an impossible outcome. The communication was great between us and them, we never had to wonder “what happens next.”
They really came through for us when nobody else could help us, and we are forever grateful to them both and their staff for being so supportive. We don’t ever plan on needing a lawyer again, but if we did I would contact Kelly right away.

Compassion and Genuine Concern
You go thru life hoping that if and when you do “need” an attorney, the circumstances are not a tragedy in one way or the other, however, “Life Happens” and we all make mistakes!
I can’t begin to put into words how helpful you were to me. The compassion and genuine concern you showed me, it was as though you had known me for years, on the contrary we just met. My outcome was Above and Beyond my expectations and your knowledge of the law and your professionalism deserves the Thank You of All Thank Yous! I’ve already recommended you to my family, which speaks volumes!
