New lawyer reply in INBOX: **Jennifer Rench** (`jennifer@jrenchlaw.com`) at **09:07 PST today (Mon 2026-02-23)**.

She says:
- She can assist (10+ years collaborative; former president of the St. Louis collaborative org).
- **No conflicts** to represent you.
- Availability: **today until 5pm**, **Thu 1–3pm**, **Fri 1:30–3:30pm** (very likely **Central**; we’d confirm when booking).
- Phone: **314-725-4000** (office), **314-328-6527** (direct).

I logged it in `records/lawyers/rench/2026-02-23_reply.md` and updated `records/lawyers/2026-02-21_consult_outreach.md`.

Your Freed call is at **09:30 PST** (about 15 minutes). After that, do you want to book Rench **today** (she’s open until ~**3pm PST** if those times are Central), or take the **Thu/Fri** slot?

Hi Ms. Rench,

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I can do today.

I'm in San Francisco (Pacific). Are the times you offered in Central? If so, would any of these work today?

- 11:00am Pacific (1:00pm Central)
- 12:30pm Pacific (2:30pm Central)
- 2:00pm Pacific (4:00pm Central)

If none of those work, I'm flexible today until 3:00pm Pacific.

Phone or Zoom both work. If you have an intake form/questionnaire you prefer, I'm happy to fill it out in advance.

Thank you,
Karl Stiefvater

Here’s the drafted quick facts email for Ms. Rench (saved at `records/lawyers/rench/draft_facts_email_body.txt`). **Not sending.**

```text
Hi Ms. Rench,

Ahead of our call, here’s a quick high-level fact summary (not a full narrative):

- Parties: Karl Stiefvater (56) and Lisa Donahue (legal name: Elisabeth Donahue) (56) (for conflict: zinch@zizzerzinch.com)
- Married: 2005-02-25 (San Francisco, CA)
- Child: Juno (non-binary), born 2007-12-12 (age 18)
- Current residences: I’m in San Francisco; Lisa is in St. Louis, MO (roughly 15 years)
- Separation marker (for discussion): 2026-02-09 (I flew to Spokane; first overnight away)
- Income: I’m unemployed with no current income. Lisa is unemployed and receives roughly $17k/month in trust distributions/allowance (approx).
- Assets/debts (rough): we own a home with a mortgage; Lisa has her own bank account with roughly $70k (approx); no other debts known.
- Trust constraint: trust corpus is roughly $5M (approx); I’m not a beneficiary and cannot access/touch the corpus.
- Immediate priorities: interim arrangement so I’m not cut off while counsel/process is set up; SF housing; protect stability for my mom’s assisted living during the transition.

If you have an intake form/questionnaire you prefer, I’m happy to fill it out in advance. Phone works best for me.

Thank you,
