Stephanie M. Ross
During my second year of law school, a family member of mine separated from her husband and came to me for emotional support. Hearing her struggle with the emotions of her separation while trying to process the legal difficulties at the same time made me realize that helping those in this situation would be my life’s work. Since that time, I focused my studies in school on family law-related courses. After graduating from law school in 2009, I began practicing family law and have continued to do so ever since.
I understand how difficult it is to face a shift in your family. I am available to you to make the transition as easy as possible. Each family is different and therefore has different legal, emotional, and ethical needs. I strive to recognize those specific issues for your family and use that knowledge to provide long-lasting resolutions, be it through settlement negotiations or empassioned advocacy in court.
