Monroe, N.C. Family Law Attorneys Merge Practices to Form Stepp Lehnhardt Law Group

Monroe, N.C. (Lexis Nexis) July 10, 2008 -- Two of Union County's leading family law attorneys have merged their practices, forming Stepp Lehnhardt Law Group, P.C. (http://www.monroelaw.net), a general practice law firm with special emphasis on the full range of family law matters.

Donna Stepp (http://www.lawyers.com/North-Carolina/Monroe/Donna-B.-Stepp-1404058-a.html), a former prosecutor in North Carolina who opened her practice in Monroe in 1998, and Dana Lehnhardt (http://www.lawyers.com/North-Carolina/Monroe/Dana-B.-Lehnhardt-1404080-a.html), a Monroe native who has been practicing locally since 1999, are both highly regarded attorneys who handle a variety of divorce, child custody, family law and criminal defense cases. Ms. Stepp is a board-certified specialist in family law and Ms. Lehnhardt is a board-certified family financial mediator.

"We're very excited about this merger because of the significant growth opportunities here in Union County," said Ms. Lehnhardt.

The two women have been co-owners of the downtown Monroe office building (http://monroelaw.net/index_files/page0003.htm) in which their office is located for the past three years. As their practices experienced independent growth, they began to realize that their clients would be better served by integrating their staffs and operations. The new Stepp Lehnhardt Law Group, P.C. consists of the two name partners, two associate attorneys and five staff members.

"We help clients with a wide range of very delicate family law matters, including prenuptial agreements, adoptions, separation agreements, child custody arrangements, divorce and distribution of assets," said Ms. Stepp. "We also have experience handling a variety of criminal defense cases and assisting people with traffic matters."
