About
Stephanie O. Joy, Esq.
Here are some facts about me:

  • I grew up on a farm in New Jersey.  I had, and
    still have, an awesome family.
  • I went to Rutgers University for my undergrad
    BA in Economics, Minor in Mathematics.  I
    graduated in 1989.  I immediately started
    working at Prudential, providing credit/financial
    related analysis.  Bored to tears, I quit in 1991
    to attend law school full time and to incur tons
    of more school debt.
  • I went to Seton Hall Law School and graduated
    in 1994.  I'm still paying those loans, another
    24 years to go.  Can you believe?  (Don't get
    me started on the poor educational efforts
    made by the US to keep us in the top educated
    in the world - clearly, we've fallen behind.
  • I took the NJ and NY bars, and practiced
    immediately in NJ
  • I worked for 2 firms in the years following law
    school, which provided hands on litigation
    experience rather early on - which gave me the
    background and experience to be able to hang
    my own shingle, which I did in about 2001,
    while moonlighting to pay the bills early on.
  • At first, I continued to practice general NJ law,
    including family law, personal injury, motor
    vehicle law, criminal law, DUI law, consumer
    protection and small business
    disputes/contract law and disability law.
  • I met my husband in 2002 and got happily
    married in 2003.
  • In 2005, I redirected my focus away from NJ
    law towards Federal United State Social
    Security Disability Law.  I have found true
    professional and personal satisfaction, finally,
    from my work.
  • In 2006, we were blessed with our first child,
    Alexia and in 2008, our second, Jake. (And
    likely our last, since I'm getting up in the years,
    sady :)
  • In 2008, I also began enjoying the opportunity
    to provide consulting, in addition to the
    practice, for the customers of 2 companies
    providing online legal information.  We do not
    get paid, nor do we charge, regular legal fees -
    it is more of a volunteer endeavor, with a
    portion of the honor system payments by
    customers being credited towards the experts.  
    I do this time permitting, for JustAnswer.com
    and LivePerson.com.  The proceeds from
    this time and effort helps continue my pro
    bono services for the disabled and the
    upkeep of this website, MySsiCase.com.
