"I reached out to Ms Germani with a tenant issue after a recommendation from my property manager. Working with Ms Germani put me at ease with her experience and great communication. Her guidance made a bad situation feel not as overwhelming. My issue was resolved fairly quickly and I'm grateful to know who to call for future issues. I highly recommend her services!"

"I recently had to evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent. Attorney Germani is professional and extremely skilled at what she does. Under the circumstances, she was able to get us the best outcome possible. The eviction process is difficult, time consuming, and an all around awful experience but she made it easy and reassured us that everything would work out and it did. I am so thankful for Attorney Germani’s guidance and willingness to take our case. She understands the law and explained every scenario we might face very clearly. I hope I never have to experience this again, but if I do there is no one else I would trust to take my case. Thanks Attorney Germani!"

"Stephanie Germani is excellent! I was referred to her and her responsiveness and communication is top notch. She takes the time to explain and ensure you understand where other Attorneys won't. Highly recommended, great first impression."

"Attorney Stephanie Germani is wonderful! 10/10. I knew I needed to call her after she helped my mother with a small claims case several years ago. She helped me with my case regarding a business scam. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and very quick to respond. Ms. Germani took the time to explain the process to me so that I could understand. I highly recommend her. You will not go wrong with calling Ms. Germani. Trust me!"

"Thought Stephanie was going to be great the first time we spoke, instead of ending up having to follow up with her multiple times, and went elsewhere. Ghosting in a professional business is a no from me."
