Testimonials

“The reason I chose Stephania Francone as my attorney for my divorce was her genuine concern for my mental well-being during our initial meeting. Throughout the process she continued to ensure that I was being taken care of as a person and as a client. Her knowledge and experience were priceless throughout the process.”

-David from Capitola

“Stephania made sure that I had visitation with my granddaughter after her father passed away and the step mother was not forthcoming until her intervention. Stephania showed me the bigger picture and how to fashion terms to avoid litigation, since the law favors parents control of visitation. Thanks to Stephania's out of court efforts I have a relationship with my granddaughter.”

-Mary from Saratoga

“After a short term marriage, both second ones for us I was injured and my husband abandoned me and then sued for divorce. Stephania and my ex-husbands attorney were both members of the Santa Cruz Collaborative Practice Group and were able to work out all the details out of court without litigation. Stephania helped to keep me calm and out of court when issues came up our award winning Himalasian Persiaan cat.”

-Beverley from Aptos

“Stephania mediated the terms of our separation after a long term marriage. We had pensions and real estate to divide but our kids were grown. We still remain married due to favorable financial and income tax considerations but we are officially living "sepaerate and apart" in our own households and have exciting new personal lives with all possessions in tact.”

-Steven from Watsonville

“I was not sure how to divorce my wife of fourteen years because she was involved with the family business. I had already renewed a live in relationship with my highshcool sweet heart. Stephania and another Collaborative Practice Divorce attorney helped us choose one financial expert also in the local Collaborative Group to evaluate the business and having one expert instead of two saved us allot of money.Stephania was great and I could tell she really cared for me as a client and as a person.”
