Stephanie Weil always knew she had a passion to help children and families. With both her mom and dad as attorneys, she knew from the time she was a child that this was what she was born to do. Stephanie was initially drawn to family law because her father was a family law attorney for 40 years until he passed. She has fond memories of being a little girl playing in his conference room while he and his team prepared exhibits for trial. And when he was able to obtain a good result for a client, especially a client who really needed help, it made him the happiest man in the world, and Stephanie admired that. It’s a practice area she feels like she was literally born into.

After Stephanie received her Juris Doctorate from Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad Law Center, she was a stay at home mom until jumping back into the workforce as the Assistant State Attorney for the 10th Judicial Circuit in Central Florida until moving onto Family Law. For over four years, Stephanie litigated over 5,000 felony and misdemeanor cases. She was nominated by law enforcement for Florida Mothers Against Drunk Driving 2017 Statewide Prosecutor of the Year, was awarded Polk County, Florida Mothers Against Drunk Driving 2016 and 2018 Prosecutor of Distinction and was the first chair prosecutor for over 45 jury trials and 16 bench trials. This gave her extensive courtroom experience that has translated into her being able to litigate the most complex family law cases. Her achievements in advocacy continued when she was voted “Best Divorce Attorney” for “2019 Best of Central Florida”. For Stephanie, knowing that she was able to help someone get on their feet to enter the next phase of their life, is the most rewarding part of her job.

In addition, Stephanie belongs to various professional organizations. She is a member of the Georgia Bar Association, the Junior League of Lakeland, FL and Boca Raton, FL, the Lakeland Bar Association, the Polk Association of Women Lawyers and the Florida Bar Association.
