Stephanie Lynn Cesare

I retained Ms. Cesare on the advice of a friend after another attorney failed me in ways I could not previously imagine. My previous attorney had kicked the can down the road for about a year and gotten me into a bigger mess than what I had initially hired her to represent me against. Within just a... few weeks, Stephanie cleaned up the mess the other attorney had made and expertly represented me. Stephanie was always available when I needed her and did an excellent job of explaining things in a way that I understood. Perhaps most importantly, she listened to me, endeavored to understand the uniqueness (perceived or real) of my situation, and then explained my options in a way I could understand, and then let/made me decide on the course of action I thought was best for me prior to making any major moves. Stephanie knows the players within the corrupt and bias Cumberland County, PA, Criminally Unjust System, and is conveniently located to coordinate with them as required (yet another thing that my previous attorney failed miserably at). Though my contact with other attorneys at Abom and Kutulakis was limited, it is apparent that it is well run and that the “support staff” does an excellent job of taking care of both their attorneys and their clients. My experience with attorneys is thankfully limited, but I give Ms. Stephanie Cesare my strongest recommendation. INFO I FEEL I NEED TO INCLUDE: No matter who you choose to hire, I strongly recommend that you do your homework and make use of free initial consults to ensure that whoever you choose is a good fit for you. I was shocked by my whole situation, had far too much faith in the system, and did not make good use of these initial consults. If you are hiring an attorney to represent you in Pennsylvania, I recommend that you check here as well: https://www.padisciplinaryboard.org/for-the-public/find-attorney. It is unlikely that you will find an attorney with a history of founded ethical violations since this is a case of attorneys policing their own (something they just don’t do), but I encourage you to check anyway. Lastly, set realistic expectations. It isn’t like on TV—rest assured that attorneys are not going to call out their own. It is a cult, and non-attorneys are on the outside looking in—even though your life and livelihood may depend on it.

The process of trying to maximize my involvement in my daughters life and increase the amount of time I have with her was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I did not know where to turn, what to do, or how I could make it possible. Mrs. Cesare was my saving grace. She guided me through every st...ep of the process. I didnt know what to expect since I have never been in this type of situation before. Her knowledge, experience, and compassion made everything possible and much easier for me. My daughter and I will always know and remember what Mrs. Cesare did for us. My world is now complete because of her.

I called and got an consultation with ms cesare that resulted in me hiring her for a CPS case involving my granddaughter she got to work on my case right away she made calls to CPS and the detective involved i am very very please with the outcome please if u dont know how or what to do call step...hie Cesare attorney and i didnt know my rights but ms cesare can definitely tell u i learn a lot from her in my consultation that day give her a try u wont be disappointed.

Stephanie Lynn Cesare is very thorough and professional from start to finish! Stephanie took on my DUI case, and immediately reviewed my legal history. She then reviewed all the facts of my case. After research, she came up with a legal strategy. We then agreed on her strategy!! Then she executed her... strategy to perfection!!! All my charges are dismissed!!! Not quite done yet though. She then cleaned up all the loose ends of my legal history!! AMAZING! She even has a great personality! She is one of my HEROS!! Thanks Stephanie Lynn Cesare!

We appreciated Stephanie's thoroughness and enthusiasm in defending our son in a PFA hearing. It was refreshing to have a an attorney that is approachable and quick to address issues that come up. She does an excellent job communicating and keeping the client informed. It was very evident she und...erstands the inner "workings" of the justice system and is knowledgeable about the law. She also does a great job explaining the legal process to the family members involved. It is quite evident she loves what she does.
