DONT HIRE

Stephanie mathiesen review I have never left a review for anything in my life. I used Stephanie mathiesen for a custody case years ago, which was a huge mistake. I could write pages of reasons why but to keep it short as possible , she wasn’t even there when my case was called multiple times, ...she couldn’t be worse with reliability and communication if she tried. I just read her other reviews and cannot believe how similar my experience with her was. I stopped using her and switched to legal aid and actually got the results I was fighting for. The legal aid attorney actually did what I hired Stephanie to do. I will literally take the time out of my day to tell anyone that may hire her details of why you shouldn’t. I know nothing about other attorneys in her firm but don’t confuse the firms review ratings with her personal ratings. I even attached a screenshot of how reliable and responsive she is and that’s just a single one lol. In hindsight it’s almost laughable that she could even be recognized as an option to represent someone in a custody dispute. Thank god for legal aid because in my case they did what Stephanie couldn’t

Lazy and I incompetent

This woman should not be practicing law. She is lazy and incompetent. She ignores phone calls, emails and left out pertinent information in my petition and dragged my case on until I was forced like many others to fire her. At first I retained Todd Zimmer and he porned me off to this woman. I am now ...spending my nights writing a complaint to the bar instead of spending time with my children and family. A friend just told me they’re getting sued for Malpractice and there is an article online about it. Read away and stay away from this woman and firm. Theyre greedy incompetent pigs in my opinion .

Stephanie is amazing

Stephanie is amazing, i have used her for a few years now and she is very straight forward. She does not hold back and fights until the end. She is not just a lawyer she becomes a friend, she asks how my family is, how things are going, shes personable. The whole practice is great, the secretaries ar...e always sweet, todd is great, its a small firm but everyone gets the job done and is very kind.

Discombobulated

She is very unorganized. Misses calls and meetings often. I had to practically beg her to pay attention to my case. Does bill you on time though. Never again.

Awful

Steer clear! Stephanie defaulted on motions for contempt filed against me. She did not even attempt to advocate for me as her retainer stated she would. On the day of the sentencing hearing she did not want to go to court and face the judge so she forced me to sign a consent to change attorney form a...nd sent me to court alone up against a seasoned attorney. To make matters worse she allowed my children to fall through the cracks of a terrible arrangement AND (unsuccessfully) sued me for counsel fees! Save your money and your children!
