Why do you need estate planning?
Don't Leave a Mess.
Will or Trust or Probate? What do you really need to keep your family out of court and out of conflict when something happens to you? We'll look at your family dynamics, explain probate—the state’s plan if you fail to do your own planning. If you choose to move forward with a plan we will help you create a plan that is customized for you and within your budget to achieve your desired outcomes for yourself and the people you love.
Protect Who (and What) Matters.
Don’t fail your loved ones. Even if you've created a plan already, it may not work when your family needs it. Learn what happens when clients are not well-counseled, when your assets are not owned in the right way, and plans are not updated when required to meet your goals. Your family deserves more.
Get Financial Peace of Mind.
It doesn’t matter how much money you have. Estate planning is simply facing the end and attending to the inevitable, to accomplish the best possible legal and financial choices throughout life and after you pass. Our heart-centered counseling process ensures you make the right choices for yourself and the people you love.

I’m here to help your family stay out of court and conflict in the event of your death or disability. Welcome.
I'm Stephanie D. Neal-Johnson, Esq., your neighborhood Personal Family Lawyer®, and I’m here to support you with a counseling methodology for making decisions about your estate planning that ensures you’ll have a plan that works. After all, if your plan doesn’t work when your family needs it, what’s the point of planning?
Together, we’ll look at the dynamics of your situation, inventory your assets (and even possibly help you see you have more than you think you do), and counsel you to choose the right plan for you and the people you love. All of our plans are tailored to your unique circumstances and your budget.
By planning for life and death in this way and getting a clear understanding of your legal and financial reality, you’ll make choices with a clarity that may have eluded you until now. This is what we call Life & Legacy Planning®.

Most importantly, you will have the assurance that your loved ones won’t be left with a mess and that they will be able to make aligned decisions for you when needed.

I will be there for your loved ones when you can’t be, supporting the people you love during what could be one of the most impactful moments in their lives.
As your future Personal Family Lawyer®, I’d love to begin helping you plan for the people you love and everything else you care about today.

What are Stephanie’s Clients Saying?
It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Stephanie. I can’t emphasize enough how friendly, knowledgeable, and relevant her counsel. She genuinely cares about her clients, their well-being, and the service that she provides. I truly enjoyed working with her, learning from her, and having such thoughtful conversations with her on so many topics.
I came to her with what I thought was a complete estate plan and I learned so much in just our first meeting. I’m very satisfied that I have a plan that will serve me and my family well now and into the future!

I came to Stephanie while in the middle of a very complex institutional case. I had started the process, but all along I was looking for legal guidance from someone who I felt comfortable with and who understood the complexities and nuances of the issues that I faced. When I happened upon Stephanie's Bio I knew she was the right person for me. After we had our first meeting, I was even more certain that Stephanie had the experience and compassion to assist me through. With Stephanie's legal prowess I was able to bring my case against a large entity to a close in a way that not only benefited me, but also with a systemic plan which will benefit those who come after me.

To be plain, Stephanie does it differently.
I have worked with stephanie on some fairly complex issues. She knows and understands the issues. Where there are questions, she does not hesitate to do the work that is necessary to gather clarity on behalf of her clients.
Stephanie is patient and kind and concerned about the whole person. I have referred several people to Stephanie, without hesitation, and will continue to do so.
