About
Stephanie J. Johnson is an attorney with Hoefle Phoenix Gormley & Roberts, PLLC whose practice includes probate and estate planning, land use, corporate law, and litigation. She works with clients on legal matters that can involve family wealth, property, business interests, and disputes. Her background as a longtime prosecutor adds substantial litigation experience to a practice that now spans planning, transactional, land use, and contested legal matters.
Stephanie received a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Connecticut and attended William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her academic background in political science and legal studies supports work involving statutory interpretation, legal analysis, public institutions, and client advocacy. That foundation is especially relevant to a practice combining estate and probate matters with land use, corporate issues, and litigation requiring careful review of facts, law, and procedural requirements.
Stephanie served as a prosecutor for fifteen years before joining the firm. Her public-sector work included the New Hampshire Department of Justice Office of the Attorney General Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the Rockingham County Attorney’s Office, and the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office. That experience involved investigations, courtroom advocacy, and the handling of serious criminal matters, giving her a strong litigation background that complements her current work in probate, estate planning, land use, corporate law, and civil disputes.
Stephanie J. Johnson was recognized as a Champion for Children by the Rockingham County Child Advocacy Center in 2017 for her work prosecuting child sexual abuse cases in Rockingham County.
