I would highly recommend Stephanie Keating. She made me feel cared for and I know she understood my concerns. I have an adult son who had a massive stroke and she had me set up a revocable trust to be sure that he will be taken care of after my demise. She will be in charge and be sure his needs will be monitored. I also have an estranged grandson who recently came back into my life and Stephanie had some good suggestions on how to approach that situation. Stephanie is professional, knowledgeable and kind. Those attributes are important for me when dealing with a lawyer.

Stephanie gave us excellent advice that helped us resolve a tricky situation. We consulted her on a trust and estate matter and were referred to her by a familt member who is a CPA. She listened carefully to our concerns. Working with her was a nice experience. Highly recommended.

I have been working with Stephanie for many years and I have ultimate trust in her and the firm. She is always patient with me and my family and goes out of her way to explain things. She has done wills and trusts for my family and I have worked with her in client situations and have no hesitation recommending her to friends, family and clients. She just finished completing a living trust for a member of my family as well as a special needs trust for a disabled family member. She is the epitome of a caring, knowledgeable attorney who I would not hesitate to give her 5 stars twice!!

My wife and I have known Stephanie Keating for over 30 years, when she was a CPA. Now combining her accounting background with her legal skills, gives Stephanie a broad perspective in Estate Planing and other matters of the law. Of equal importance is that Stephanie has always been compassionate in providing the highest possible service to her clients. We highly recommend Stephanie as a skilled professional and good human being.

Working with Stephanie Keating of Schwartz, Fang & Keating was smooth and professional, as usual. I say this because it wasn't my first time working with the firm. Basically, my wife and I used Stephanie because of the great job she did for my mother several years ago. We knew the time would come, and when it did, we did not hesitate to call. Stephanie was again helpful, knowledgeable, and everything you would want when doing such important personal documents. We give her our highest recommendation.
