About Stephanie

Fuchsberg Law Center in 2012 after completing undergraduate studies in communications and video production at Ohio University in 2003. Her academic path combined practical communication skills and legal training, a pairing that has shaped how she approaches courtroom work and written advocacy.
After law school, she began her practice at Morris E. Fischer, LLC in 2012. The next year she joined Alan Banov & Associates as an associate. Those early roles exposed her to litigation realities and client counseling. In 2019 she became a partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC, where she took on broader case management responsibilities and a leadership role within the litigation team.

That range of admissions allows her to handle matters at trial and on appeal.
