CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER AND CO-FOUNDING PARTNER

After early admission into the Class of 2000 at Duke University, Stephanie returned from college to her home in Pembroke Pines, Florida, taking a position with various Real Estate/Title law firms. Stephanie did post closings and solved complex title problems for her law firms for the next six years, before accepting the position of Mass Tort Supervisor for a local attorney firm.

While spending ten years managing and developing that firm’s Mass Tort division, Stephanie established herself as one of the most knowledgeable resources in the country, for many mass tort litigations. Her college interests in the medical sciences have proven to be invaluable as litigations develop and her colleagues within the industry often call on her expertise when they have questions.
