Stephanie Franze

Stephanie has been helping people through some of the hardest times in their lives since she was admitted as a solicitor in 2010, after completing her law degree at Griffith University.

She started out in criminal law, where she learned to think on her feet in busy courtrooms. She then moved into family law, where she found her passion: helping families and children stay safe.

Today Stephanie is the firm’s Practice Manager. She oversees the day-to-day running of the office and manages the firm’s accounts, so clients get a practice that runs smoothly and responds quickly. She has stayed close to the work that matters most to her. She still appears regularly as a duty lawyer in domestic and family violence matters across a number of courts, and she supports the team in child protection matters.

Clients describe Stephanie as calm, practical and easy to talk to. She knows that people facing domestic violence or child protection proceedings are often scared and overwhelmed. She works to make sure they feel heard, understand their options and have someone firmly in their corner.
