About Stephanie C. Mendoza, Attorney at Law

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 C. Mendoza, Attorney at Law., 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®.  We call it Life & Legacy Planning® because we don’t just help you choose between a will or trust (though we do that), but we empower you to take control of your life, clarify your aspirations, and leave a lasting impact that aligns with your values and goals.  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’m here to be your trusted advisor, helping you make the very best personal, financial, and legal decisions for your family throughout your lifetime. 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.  I look forward to meeting you!
