Child Custody

Attorney Ayo Stevens was actually the second attorney that I had retained, after I had to dissolve the first legal relationship due to a lack of genuine committment to the case. Attorney Stevens was referred to me from a friend, who was sure that I would be pleased with his approach and knowledge in ...regards to family law. To say that I was impressed can easily be an understatement! Attorney Stevens took my case with very little time to gather the facts, evidence and documents, but he did a superb job in preparation and attention to detail. The opposing counsel was unwilling to work with my former counsel, but she was more than happy to work with Attorney Stevens, which allowed more time to settle the small items of dispute and get to the meat of the case. I suppose being a very well presented and spoken, tall, handsome and knowledgeable attorney does command a certain level of respect from the opposing counsel, as well as all parties involved. In the end, Attorney Stevens proved himself to be ethical, personable, as well as trustworthy in my opinion, as well as my family. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in the area of family law in the Maryland area.

He’s not a lawyer he’s a liar

This lawyer is horrible His office does not return calls If you call or email any questions or concerns you will not get a response for at least three days if your lucky Does not answer questions This lawyer will try and talk you out of going to trial and settle and go behind your back and sign... a consent order against your will We had to find out from the ex that the court order went into effect because this office does not have the courtesy to tell you themselves We explicitly told this lawyer not to sign the custody order because we did not agree to it and he signed it anyway He lied straight to our faces and told us that he would not sign if we had an issue with the consent order and that the opposing counsel could not add anything in the consent order that was not read in the courtroom Well the opposing counsel added things in and when we disagreed with the order Mr.stevens signed it anyhow And would not return our calls about it going into effect Again THIS LAWYER IS A HORRIBLE LAWYER!!!!!!!! We would never recommend him to the sleaziest of people

Child custody

This attorney is unable to stand up against corruption in the family court. He was aware that my grandson was being sexually abused and did nothing to advocate for his safety and wellbeing in this case. Do not hire him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
