Meet Our Office
Stephanie L. Judd (Formerly Newton)
Attorney/Partner
Stephanie focuses her practice exclusively in the area of family law, and strives to provide her clients with an unparalleled level of personal service.
With an extensive background in family law including divorce, child custody, support, paternity, and adoption matters, Stephanie consistently monitors new developments in the law in order to provide her clients with the most effective representation possible. Stephanie works hard to maintain positive relationships with her colleagues in the legal community, and therefore works to avoid unnecessary litigation whenever possible. That said, there are times when being aggressive is necessary; Stephanie is not afraid to step into that role as well.
​
Stephanie has repeatedly been recognized as one of Michigan's "10 Best" Attorneys under 40, and remains committed to ensuring that her clients are satisfied with the level of representation they receive from Newton Plont.

Jenn Schweigert
Paralegal/Administrative Assistant
​
Jenn Schweigert joined Judd & Fricke PLLC in September 2018, while we were operating as Newton Plont PLLC. Jenn plays a variety of roles in our office, and works hard to make sure clients remain appraised of any and all information available to their respective cases. Jenn also serves as a well-informed point of contact in the event that any of our clients or opposing counsel are unable to reach us and need a prompt reply. Jenn also regularly works with our clients directly in an effort to move things forward as efficiently and as cost-effectively as possibly, while still maintaining a quality level of overall service.
