Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor

I want to sincerely thank Ryan Proctor for representing me in my temporary restraining order case. Even though we didn’t get the result I was hoping for, he was professional, dedicated, and always made me feel heard and supported throughout the entire process. Ryan took the time to explain each step of the case, prepared thoroughly, and fought hard on my behalf. What stood out most was his compassion and genuine concern for my well-being during a very stressful time. I truly appreciate the effort and commitment Ryan put into my case and would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring attorney who will stand by you and give their all.

I am very pleased and extremely grateful for Attorney Caitlyn Hood. I am so glad that I hired her to assist with my case. She is very thorough and focused; she is compassionate and listens intently. I immediately felt like I had known her for years after my first meeting with her because she and her staff immediately welcomed me and were very straightforward and forthcoming with what I was up against. She informed me that my case was a tough one, but she never backed down and was always on point getting the information that was needed to help in moving my case forward. I thank God for sending her to defend my case! If you need an attorney that will put themselves in your shoes and really go to bat for you, then she is the ONE to hire! I am glad to have her on my side. A huge "Thank You" to you and your team for the successful outcome in my case. I will forever be indebted to YOU! XOXOXO

We cannot say enough positive things about Judy Sartain and her team. She represented us in a private independent adoption. The process was quick, painless, and both Judy and her staff were responsive and efficient with everything. Judy was very highly recommended to us from a previous client she also represented in an adoption. She is very knowledgeable of the adoption laws and we could not have had a better experience. I definitely plan on using her again in the future!

I came to Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor after having to fire the initial law firm that was representing me. It was an extremely stressful situation as the first law firm I hired was an absolutely horrible experience. My divorce was terribly complicated and convoluted. Caitlyn Hood is the attorney who represented me. She is phenomenal. Truly aggressive and assertive just like I needed. Caitlyn’s ability to execute the law, comprehension of divorce proceedings and strategies are truly amazing. All while showing compassion and flexibility to the human experience of divorce. From the billing practices to explanation of the various roles in the firm, I felt so much comfort in knowing that someone finally had my best interests fully prioritized. Working with Kimberly in billing was a true pleasure. She is very professional and patient. Always pleasant and willing to guide me in this unfamiliar process. Trina was my paralegal. She also was great to work with and a valuable source of information. The difference this firm made in my divorce outcome was life changing. If you are in a high conflict, complicated, difficult divorce process, these are the people you want to represent you. Thank God they took my case and helped me at such a vulnerable time in my life.

Randy Sabatini and his team represented me throughout my divorce process. I truly appreciate how patient and responsive they were with all of my concerns. They were always there to address any questions I had and would always get back to me as soon as they could. My divorce was definitely not an easy one with having a child and going through some tough times regarding child custody but Randy was always there to lift me up, assure everything would be okay and I would get through this. I would recommend Randy and his team to represent any of my family and friends. They are very professional, responsive, truthful and knowledgeable. I can’t thank this team enough for everything they have done for me!

I used SM&P for an adoption with relatively unusual circumstances but after hearing my situation, my attorney Judy Sartain & her paralegal Kristi Culpepper helped to feel at ease by taking their time & explaining the process to me. They were extremely communicative and diligent and consistently made me feel like I was the only client on their roster. Judy has done over 800 adoptions and it showed! She was extremely competent and made sure that I benefited from her expertise in everything from paperwork to making sure I was aware of the next steps and how to take care of them in the simplest way. If they are representative of the culture at SM&P then I will be sure to use them again should the need ever arise.

My husband and I were very emotional in dealing with an adoption. We had hired an attorney who did not do the job after 8 months, and ultimately had to fire them; only after they kept all of our retainer money after not completing any of the work. I hired Judy in March and my adoption was finalized in April. Judy was quick, eased my emotions, was very professional and extremely qualified in adoptions. We highly recommend Judy Sartain for your adoption needs.
