“Stephanie C. Doran was a diamond in the rough when it was time to defend and protect a family member.

“Best Lawyer in Howard county. I always refer people to Stephanie. She’s the best!”

“Stephanie has represented our family in civil and criminal (felony) cases. We have been involved in continuous custody litigation for 10 yrs, and we have prevailed every time. I have experienced working with many attorneys in the area, so I know what to expect when hiring one. Her Courtroom presence is above any that I have seen. She is very detailed, listens to ALL of your story, and is an EXCELLENT TEAMMATE. Lastly, her rates are more than competitive (she is way more EFFICIENT than others).”

” I can tell you if you’re going through a legal situation and you don’t make her the top of your wish list for an attorney your making a mistake.  She listens, cares and her level of dedication and defense made me feel like a #1 top priority even though she was dealing with lots of others.  We need more people of her devotion and commitment. ”

I highly recommend her for any representation you need.”

Stephanie and her team were professional & did an amazing job. This was my first in need of an attorney & was recommended to her. They were extremely informative & easy to work with!! Stephanie gets it handled quickly for sure! So thankful for her & her team! I would highly recommend her!!

” Stephanie is one of Howard County’s best attorneys. She always reassured me everything would be okay, and in the end, she got my charges dismissed. I highly recommend her. ”

“I was sentenced to a 20 do 15 all executed. If you do not understand, this means 15 out of 20 years behind bars for drugs. It was the scariest time of my life. I was in recovery and felt no hope at all. I contacted Stephanie about a modification after 4.5 years in prison. Stephanie worked hard and fought for me AND my children. She successfully helped me file with 10.5 years left in prison. She has changed my life and I will never forget it! This year I get to see my son graduate. Thank you so much Stephanie for believing in me when I was at my lowest point in life. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone needing a modification or help with a criminal case. She saw me as a real person and l could never repay her!”

“I was arrested July 6th of 2024 and even though I did resist the arrest. I was also charged with two other felonies and I knew I was not guilty of them along with three misdemeanors. So long story short, Stephanie fought my case for over a year and I walked out of there with unsupervised probation and everything dropped except for the one crime I did actually commit which was resisting arrest. I saw headlights and I ran. I learned my lesson. Wait and explain yourself later with an attorney present so if you want my opinion I would say go with Stephanie Doran for all your legal issues she has been a criminal defense attorney for over 25 years and I’m pretty sure most attorneys in Kokomo learn their skills from her when it comes to defending their clients.”

“Stephanie made a stressful situation so much easier. She was professional, responsive, and fought hard on my behalf. I walked away with a positive result I never thought was possible. Highly recommend!”
