McLeester Law

I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly understands the ins and outs of family law. Divorce is never easy — no matter the circumstances, it’s an emotionally challenging process. But having Stephanie by my side brought a level of comfort and confidence I didn’t think was possible during such a difficult time. At a point when it felt like there was very little hope, she stepped in with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Her steady guidance and legal expertise made all the difference in my case. If you’re looking for someone who will advocate for you with both skill and heart, Stephanie is absolutely the attorney you want in your corner.

Stephanie was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Although my case wasn’t overly complex, she clearly explained all possible outcomes, my options, and what would be required to resolve things efficiently. She also acted as a mediator, addressing my ex-partner’s concerns with care and helping ease tensions. Stephanie was responsive, kept me informed, and ensured I felt supported at every step. Thanks to her and Vanessa, my case was resolved quickly and with minimal financial strain. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking a fair, efficient, and respectful divorce process.

My divorce has been challenging and unique due to assets that were involved. Stephanie's knowledge and experience has helped guide and support me through this process. She is responsive and has kept me informed. Additionally she utilizes her resources to assist in gathering information and provide guidance allowing me to make a informed decisions. She has maintained regular communication always making herself available when requested. She has handled the opposing counsel with a level of professionalism that demonstrates her experience and ability to uniquely evaluate each situation. Her ability to not only provide the support and guidance I need but to act as my representative in my case has allotted me ease of mind and ability to continue to have a balanced life. I am grateful I found her.

Stephanie was an amazing attorney. I am a father, and very green to family law to say the least though I know how things usually go. My situation was incredibly toxic, and Stephanie did a great job at helping me with expectations, as well guiding me through the courts and presenting my case properly for a far better than expected outcome. She's no BS, so if you're screwed, you'll hear it so bring your grown up pants. If you're honest and genuine, she's the right kind of help for a family law situation.

Stephanie is an outstanding family lawyer! took care of me and my daughter throughout the difficult transition of divorce while I was home selling, relocating, etc. The thing I loved most was she sent me all the docs I would need to further the proceedings i’d just fill them out and send them back. To add to that it felt like the ball was always in our court, it was a lot of waiting from the opposing counsel to get their docs that Stephanie would request and definitely kept the squeeze on the opposition to make sure it was wrapped up in a timely manner. her paralegal at the time Vanessa was great as-well in keeping me updated, and always pushing the case forward one way or another. 10 out of 10

Stephanie is one of the most talented and hard working Family Law attorneys out there. From extremely complex long term litigation, to practical matter of fact resolutions. She gives you the honest need to know information to make any decisions. Along with reminding your outcome possibilities (good and bad). Straight shooter. HIGHLY Recommend

Stephanie is an okay attorney. Definitely not the best but good enough for agreeable parties I would say. My case was very high conflict. I think overall she did an okay job. However, one of the greatest errors I believe she made which she argued with me about was how we reported my income. It was confusing to me and I felt strongly that we needed to report my actual income and not numbers that were higher than my actual income. She assured me that this was the best way to proceed. Unfortunately it was confusing for the judge as well and he used numbers that were much higher than my actual income. I'm disabled. I'm trying to get disability. I've worked as a realtor for the last 12 years but the market has been tough and so is dealing with my chronic health issues. There were quite a few times when I felt like Stephanie was very short with me and didn't handle questions or constructive criticisms very well. I tried to be as objective as possible but It didn't matter. She would always be short and rude with me anytime I had questions regarding her methods. My divorce was finalized a couple months before Stephanie left her previous law firm but there was still some small interminglings going on and since there's an order of protection between my ex and I, I needed her to further communicate with the other side on some things. I always paid my bills on time, every time, to the tune of nearly $80,000. Before we went to trial they asked me to renew my retainer which I did. However, when Stephanie left to start her own firm, she asked for another retainer. Since we didn't have any business going on it just didn't seem necessary but she then threatened to drop me as a client if I did not pay her the $500 retainer. I paid the $500 and shortly thereafter I got a bill with a bunch of charges that we're not authorized or explained. Including administrative charges for setting me up as a new client at her firm. She tried to explain it by stating that this is a very common practice and I should not be surprised. What would have been a lot better as if she just let me know that there was going to be charges for me switching firms and being set up as a new client with her new firm. But nope, she decided It would be better to gaslight me and make me feel bad for what she did that was wrong. I was surprised to see the large bill that came after I paid the $500 retainer. She billed for nearly that entire amount & all I knew was that she responded to a couple of emails. Couldn't have been more than 30 minutes worth of work & that's being generous. I asked if I could view the bill She told me she had already sent it to me. I found it & I had a couple questions about some of the fees on there. Her reply to my questions was that I'm dropping you as a client... Very unprofessional. Very uncaring. I'm a disabled father of two who's had a really tough time and she pushed me around at the end of our relationship just to steal 500 bucks from me. It was really petty and sad. She used to talk a lot of trash about other attorneys and talk herself up a lot. I honestly feel like there are better ones out there. My advice is to interview as many as you possibly can and then make a decision. I didn't interview anyone. The first guy I hired was absolutely terrible and Stephanie confirmed this by stating that she was working another case against him and that she won. I found Stephanie online and if you ever been in an appointment with an attorney, you know that either it's a quick call and you have to make a quick decision or you have to spend money and you feel like since you've already spent the money you don't want to spend any more money on any more consults because it'll just be money lost. I'm going to tell any man out there who's getting a divorce that it's s money well spent. Interview at least three attorneys and then make your choice. These decisions will affect you for the rest of your life.
