"I came to Stevie with a mess — a cap table that made no sense, contracts that were held together with duct tape, and a fundraise that was about to fall apart. She untangled all of it in like two weeks. I don't know how she does it, but she made our legal situation go from 'existential threat' to 'actually, we're fine' faster than I thought was possible. She's my first call now for everything."

"Most lawyers I've worked with either don't understand startups or they're so risk-averse that every answer is basically 'no.' Stevie is the opposite. She gets what we're trying to build, she's not scared of complexity, and she finds ways to get to yes. I genuinely don't know how we'd operate without her."

"We were launching in a space where the regulations were... unclear, to put it nicely. Every other lawyer we talked to told us to wait until the rules were clearer. Stevie helped us engage with regulators directly, shape the conversation, and launch anyway — legally and strategically. She understands how policy actually gets made, not just what's on the books. That perspective changed our entire trajectory."

"I called Stevie on probably the worst day of my professional life. We were dealing with a situation that felt like it could end the company — legal exposure, press inquiries, investors asking questions, the whole nightmare. She showed up, took control, and just... handled it. Calmly. Methodically. She told us exactly what to do, what to say, and what not to say. Six months later, we're still here and stronger than before. I don't know where we'd be without her."
