THE BEST
I had the privilege of working with Stephanie Ockunzzi during a very stressful and time-sensitive legal situation, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional attorney. My case was a domestic violence injunction hearing, scheduled for a Tuesday. I found out the day before that my soon-to-be ex-wife had hired a lawyer, which left me scrambling. A reputable law firm recommended Stephanie, so I reached out to her immediately. She responded within minutes, and after a brief but thorough conversation, I knew I wanted her to represent me. I retained her that same day. Despite having less than 24 hours to prepare for the hearing, Stephanie was incredibly organized and professional. The entire process was handled efficiently and seamlessly online — from signing retainer agreements to submitting evidence. On the day of the hearing, Stephanie took the time to meet with me in person and go over everything in detail. She was calm, confident, and reassuring, which made me feel well-prepared and supported. Her expertise and knowledge of the law were evident throughout the entire process. She knew exactly how to present the facts, and her professionalism was clear in the way she navigated the hearing. Ultimately, the case was ruled in my favor, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Stephanie Ockunzzi to anyone in need of legal representation. She’s a skilled, responsive, and dedicated attorney who goes above and beyond for her clients.
Injunction
Stephanie not only helped me but kept it professional and was honest with me on what will work and what won’t. Mine was a minor to minor sexual assault case and she gathered information and felt confident she could get me an injunction. She kept open communication with me and was always quick with her responses. Anytime I had a question she responded. After the case was over she even spoke to me when I had questions about the case. I would highly recommend her.
Professional- Highly Recommend
After receiving the notification that I was being served, I called, and Stephanie immediately took my call. She was professional and put me at ease with the upcoming court date. I was fortunate as my case went quickly and Stephanie was well prepared. I hope not to need her in the future, however, HIGHLY recommend if services are needed!
Emergency Domestic Violence Injuntion
Ms. Ockunzzi is an extremely kind, professional and knowledgeable lawyer, who is well versed in domestic violence cases. She really takes time and care with her clients, making them feel at ease and confident in her abilities as a lawyer. I needed to use her for an emergency domestic violence injunction and she needed to work with my family in the beginning to get the injunction in place due to my injuries, but she was always patient and understanding throughout the whole process. She always was there for me and looked out for my safety and best interests, even when I wasn't able to think clearly. She thoroughly understands the dynamics and trauma inflicted on victims of domestic violence and knows the importance of having a strong lawyer who is calm and supportive during this process. I would highly recommend Ms. Ockunzzi as a lawyer. She is not only a wonderful lawyer, but as equally important, she is also a good person and that is very important when dealing with trauma victims.
Highest level of professionalism.
Stephanie made herself readily available. She responds quickly in your time of need. It has been months now since I needed her and I'm still so very appreciative of her help. She'll be your rock in the storm.
A Caring Force of Nature
Stephanie Ockunzzi is an exceptional attorney who truly cares about her clients and is a force of nature in the courtroom! She successfully represented me against my very abusive ex-husband. She first represented me six years ago through a nonprofit law firm. She immediately secured a temporary injunction and soon obtained a permanent order of protection for me. Ms. Ockunzzi was knowledgeable, assertive, confident, efficient and above all effective against the most aggressive attorneys my ex-husband could hire with his family money. This last July I received notice that my ex-husband filed to have the injunction dismissed. Once I learned that after over 15 years of service working for a nonprofit law firm Ms. Ockunzzi opened SOS Law Firm, I was truly delighted to finally get to pay the lady who had represented me so well. Ms. Ockunzzi won the case, yet again. When my ex-husband filed an appeal, Ms. Ockunzzi stayed in contact until I had secured excellent representation based off of her referrals. You could not hire a better attorney to represent you than Stephanie Ockunzzi!
An attorney who is willing to go the extra mile for their client
Being falsely accused of domestic violence can be a very frightening and overwhelming experience. When I contacted Ms. Ockunzzi, she immediately reviewed my case and provided me with reassurance and confidence that I would be protected. On the day of trial, I was unexpectedly served with an additional restraining order that I was not prepared for. Within minutes, she reviewed the report and was able to provide sufficient, effective, and diligent legal representation where I was clear of all accusations! What sets her apart from the rest, was her willingness, on such a short notice, to go the extra mile to ensure my protection. Words cannot express the gratitude I have to Ms. Ocunzzi and I highly recommend to anyone needing a competent and caring attorney!
ON POINT
Prior to retaining her, I had been Pro Se and working with a domestic violence shelter to get some sort of injunction for 6 months with no success. Less than 24 hour after retaining Ms. Stephanie, there was a temporary DVI in place, court within the next week, and a then a DVI granted following court. She is quick, and effective, she listened to me, and guided me in court even with a finicky judge. I will without hesitation be recommending her to anyone I know in need of assistance with injunctions
Stephanie is amazing!
I reached out to Stephanie to help me prepare for an unexpected court date. She clearly explained to me what to expect when I attended court as well as what u needed to have prepared. After our talk I decided to hire her to represent me. I am so happy I did! She made me feel at ease through the whole process and the judge ruled in my favor!
Injunction
Stephanie Ockunzzi did a great job of walking me thru the process and staying with me thru a long wait. She helped to calm me and I was able to reach the end I wanted.
She Delivers!
Ms. Ockunzzi is beyond knowledgeable and professional. She was very attentive and fully prepared me for court. She delivered exactly the way she said she would. Her confidence was extremely reassuring.
The best of the best!
I don’t even have the right words to describe how professional, amazing and truly invested Stephanie was in my very complex case against me. She won my case and it was dismissed!! My reputation, career and overall livelihood was in jeopardy and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer who understood everything and was so knowledgeable with the law. She knew every detail that I shared with her inside out which made me feel so confident walking into the court room. She was able to show proof of my innocence, while also showing facts of the law and got the win that was so much needed. I can’t say enough all the positives Stephanie brings. She is also knows the laws inside out. You will be making the best decision hiring her. Thank you so much again for your expertise and getting my life back!!!
Professional and meticulous!
Ms. Ockunzzi represented me in a DV situation against me; I hired her and immediately she went to work; She listened to my situation and was able to bring up legal resources and tools I wouldn't know I had. Ms. Ockunzzi stayed in constant communication with me, letting me know what to expect from my case, while tirelessly working to get the best outcome that benefits our family. I highly recommend her services to anyone going through the same situation.
Stephanie has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have only a few days notice for an injunction hearing and she took significant time in talking to myself and review my case details. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and you get an immediate level of trust and support from her. The outcome of my case looked very bad but she assisted in getting everything handled with a positive outcome for myself. I cannot thank her enough and I endorse Stephanie if you ever are in a similar position and require representation!
Very Professional and knowledgeable!
I cannot thank Stephanie enough for all her assistance with my restraining order. Her knowledge of the law and her professionalism in the court room was amazing. Her communication and availability for my quesyions was top notch. I highly recommend her!
Awesome job!
You can’t go wrong hiring Stephanie. She had my case won before we even sat down. She definitely knows what she’s doing!
Injunction approved lawyer!
Ms. Ockunzzi was straight to the point and fast working. She only works with restraining orders (injunctions), so if you are looking for just that, she is very familiar with the process and judges.
I contacted and hired Ms. Ockunzzi on late notice. She got up to speed quickly and came to court prepared.
She's a shark!
Stephanie Ockunzzi was very professional and efficient in fighting my case! Very knowledgeable and assertive throughout the duration. She was instrumental in getting my case dismissed and clearing my name! I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in the same situation fighting an injunction!
I highly recommend Stephanie Ockunzzi with SOS law firm, Stephanie did an amazing job! Fast, efficient and gets results! Great and easy to work with, highly efficient and helpful.
Thank you for your expertise. I really appreciated how Mrs Ockunzzi took the time and patience in understanding my case and my needs, and mostly winning the case on my favor. Thank you. I would highly recommend this law Firm.
I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate Stephanie Ockunzzi. She has given me my first sense of security and peace of mind in months. From our first call, I have felt better having Stephanie in my corner. She really cares and puts in the work and it shows. She is great at what she does and she has really made a difference in my life and my children's lives.
Stephanie was extremely professional from start to finish. I called her Tuesday, and my hearing was Thursday. She needed just one full day to prepare for my case and we were successful. Her efforts were valuable and necessary in order for me to win the case. I’m glad I hired Stephanie Ockunzzi, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Saved the day!
Stephanie stepped in with very little lead time. She quickly reviewed our case and determined there was little cause for concern based on FL law. She did a great job in the hearing keeping the plaintiff on point and helping the judge with case history. In the end we were exonerated. Great job Stephanie!
