Biography
Stephanie Chaparro is a family law attorney licensed to practice in Washington State. Her path to becoming an attorney is deeply rooted in her own life experiences and her naturally inquisitive nature, which led her to pursue a career that allows her to lead with compassion, creativity, and dedication to others.
Coming from an immigrant family, Stephanie was often the bridge between her parents and the complexity that came from managing a life in the United States. In a household where Spanish was the primary language, she frequently found herself translating not only words but also different kinds of systems, such as helping her parents navigate legal challenges at a young age. It was in those moments that she first stepped into an advocacy role. Stephanie is now committed to being that advocate for her clients. She knows that every case brings its own unique challenges. That is why she is committed to ensuring that her clients are zealously represented every step of the way.
Stephanie’s academic background consists of a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oregon with a double major in Global Studies and Spanish, with a minor in Legal Studies. She went on to obtain her Juris Doctor degree from Seattle University School of Law and has been practicing Family Law ever since.
Outside of the courtroom, Stephanie enjoys Pilates, visiting the farmer’s market and spending time with her family and friends.
