Our company recently needed to secure a substantial line of credit for a multi-state expansion, a transaction complicated by our existing debt structure and the need for cross-collateralization. We engaged Stephanie Stephens based on her extensive background representing both lenders and borrowers. This dual perspective proved to be her greatest asset. Stephanie didn't just process paperwork; she provided strategic counsel that protected our interests while ensuring the deal remained attractive to the financial institution. Her 20 years of experience in Seattle's market meant she anticipated potential sticking points in the documentation and negotiated solutions efficiently. The process was seamless, and the closing occurred ahead of schedule. Stephanie's deep expertise in secured debt financing, combined with her pragmatic and personable approach, makes her an exceptional attorney. We have absolute confidence in her for all our future financing needs.
