Speaker bio
Stephanie P. Graham
worked her way through college while working in a bank, where she observed multiple elderly women lose their funds by appointing the wrong person as power of attorney. After graduating college and succeeding as far as possible in the bank, Ms. Graham attended law school and passed the bar immediately in New Jersey (1997) and New York (1998). Later she established her first probate estate in New York, when a dear friend traveled to North Carolina to visit her family and died of a sickle cell episode in a North Carolina hospital who said the friend was going to die young anyway. Ms. Graham associated with a North Carolina medical malpractice firm that fought for a $500,000 judgment for her friend's family and their eight year old daughter. She has been licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey for over 25 years, and Georgia since 2004 before relocating to Atlanta in 2005. After more than 20 years litigating in both the private and public sector and losing her maternal grandmother after a brief illness, Graham Estate Planning was born. Ms. Graham is a board member with the North Fulton Bar Association, Atlanta Bar Association LRIS Board of Trustees and ProWin Atlanta. She is a member of Leadership Sandy Springs, Class of 2016 and Georgia's National Speaker Association among several other associations. Ms. Graham has been recognized in the Top 100 National Black Lawyers three years in a row, and her firm was recognized as Best of Georgia Probate Firm in 2022 and 2023, and Top 10 Best of Sandy Springs Probate Firms in 2023. She was appointed county administrator for Fulton County Probate Court from 2021 through March 2024, when she resigned to take on more speaking engagements and to scale her practice to better serve her clients.
