I WILL FIGHT HARD FOR YOUR RIGHTS PUT ME ON YOUR SIDE

ABOUT ME

A man directing another to sign a contract

Before going into law, Stephen P. Hanudel took an interest in politics. With a desire for fairness, he wanted to represent those who are disadvantaged and underserved in society. He wanted to give a voice to them and help them get a fair shake and soon realized that the best way to do that was by becoming an attorney.

Education and Experience

After completing his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting in 2003, Stephen pursued a Master’s Degree in Taxation and completed it the same year he graduated from law school, in 2008. The initial plan for Stephen was to go into tax law exclusively, but at the height of the recession, Stephen lost his job and opened his own practice.

Stephen P. Hanudel, Attorney at Law

As a solo practitioner, Stephen enjoys the opportunity to pick the cases he is passionate about and to give each of his clients service that is tailored to their individual needs. Stephen also enjoys the freedom to take on appeals cases with the goal of fighting for a favorable outcome for his clients. He also takes appeals cases for the possibility to set precedent— to change the law in an effort to make it better.

I have always been passionate about justice and fairness. Through my work, I strive to have an impact on the system so that money and status doesn’t matter in the outcome of any case.
