Helping clients in high stakes litigation takes unique skills. Identifying pressure points, analyzing risks, and locating critical evidence is just the beginning. While most cases resolve short of trial, the best results in settlement are achieved by being prepared to go to trial with the resources of an experienced, seasoned trial lawyer with a long track record of success.

Since joining the firm in 1994, Stephanie has worked on a wide variety of cases representing clients in employment, business and injury litigation, as well as estate litigation and contract disputes. She also represents clients in matters involving misappropriation of trade secrets, noncompetition contracts, Consumer Protection Act claims, unfair competition issues, and consults on matters of legal ethics.

In her commercial litigation practice, Stephanie focuses on complex business disputes, disputes between members of closely held companies and trust and estate litigation. She represents corporations, closely held businesses, shareholders, LLC members, personal representatives, heirs, and individuals in pretrial motions for injunctions or temporary restraining orders and through trial. Stephanie has successfully litigated on behalf of executives or shareholders forced out of corporations, prosecuted and defended trade secrets claims, protected LLC members from attempts to seize control or assets, and successfully admitted a Taiwanese Will in Mandarin to probate, defending it against forgery claims by the surviving spouse who was largely disinherited. Most recently she successfully fought on behalf of a pharmaceutical sales rep who was laid off after complaining about a colleague who improperly sought commissions for the sale of a drug for off-label use and achieved a federal court jury verdict of $5.9 million under the state and federal laws for sex discrimination, retaliation and False Claims Act violations. In addition to her work on behalf of claimants, Stephanie has tried numerous defense cases to verdict with a history of successful results, obtaining more favorable terms than offered in settlement.
