      Senior Associate Attorney

      Stephanie Sabelhaus is a senior associate at Varghese Summersett Family Law Group, where she is dedicated to helping clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Stephanie understands that family law matters are personal and unique, and she works tirelessly to ensure that her clients’  best interests are always at the forefront.

      Stephanie has vast experience handling all aspects of family law, including high-conflict divorce, child custody disputes, and complex property divisions. Stephanie is a skilled negotiator and litigator, and she will fight vigorously for her clients both inside and outside of the courtroom.

      In addition to being a fierce advocate for her clients, Stephanie is also a devoted wife, mother, and daughter who understands the importance of family and perseverance. She grew up in the small town of Murphy, a suburb of Plano where her parents still live in the same house in which she was raised. After graduating from Plano East Senior High School, she went on to attend Texas Tech University.

      After college graduation, Stephanie spent five years at a medical staffing company before fulfilling her lifelong dream to become an attorney. She received her law degree from Texas A&M University School of Law in 2011 and immediately went to work in the family law arena.

      Over the past decade, Stephanie has helped hundreds of people through some of life’s biggest challenges, something to which she can relate since she has also been through a divorce. She knows first-hand how difficult and emotional that process can be, but she also knows that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

      In her free time, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her husband of seven years and their two young children. She also loves tending to her plants.

      Fun Fact: Stephanie played the oboe and was in her high school’s marching band.
