Stephanie M. LeBlanc practice is centered on estate and lifetime planning, probate and trust administration, tax planning, and business succession. Her extensive background in both accounting and law uniquely positions her to offer clients comprehensive legal strategies tailored to their needs.

Stephanie earned her degree from Florida International University’s School of Accounting, where she gained invaluable experience through programs with top accounting firms such as KPMG and BDO. She then pursued her Juris Doctor at the University of Miami School of Law, where she also achieved her Master of Laws in Taxation through the university’s prestigious Dual/Joint Degree program.

During her time in law school, Stephanie was actively involved in the Military Law Society and OUTLaw, organizations that hosted a range of social and educational events. She was selected to serve as a legal extern with the United States Coast Guard’s Judge Advocate General (JAG) division in Seattle, Washington, where she worked closely with JAG Officers, advised Commanders, and led physical training exercises—an experience that deepened her understanding of military law.

In her final year of law school, Stephanie worked at a Tax Law Office in Fort Lauderdale, where she honed her expertise in international tax reporting, tax controversies, compromises, and appeals. Shortly after graduation, she successfully passed the Florida Bar Examination and began her legal career as a Tax Attorney focused on high-net worth estate & trust planning and administration. Stephanie is also licensed to practice in the District of Columbia.

Throughout the years Stephanie has given educational seminars on the tax nuances of estate and trust work, as well as acted as co-counsel to local practitioners for high-level advisory work.

Stephanie resides in Vero Beach with her family, dog (“Chip”), and two cats (“Chunky and Cobra”). Outside of her legal practice, she enjoys nearly everything outdoors including golf, pickleball, paddle boarding, swimming in the ocean, traveling, and contributing to her community as an advisory leader on the many memberships listed below.
