Father got a win!

Tara was amazing with my custody case back in 2021-2022, she fought hard so I can win custody back of my daughter and did everything in her power to do so, even with my daughters mothers side thinking they were going to win again and trying their best so they can win. But not this time, I had an amaz...ing lawyer who fought hard so I to can have my daughter with me, I wish I could still have her as a lawyer now because lord going through lack of communication, not being on top of her medical appointments and not putting our daughters education first, but I had to go through bankruptcy back then because yes fees are high and wasn’t able to pay what I owed. But at the end of the day I would rehire her if I needed and wanted to!

We won!

Ms. Steinnerd is amazing truly. She kicked butt in the courtroom. We walked away with everything that I had asked for with a bonus of my ex having to pay for my lawyer fees. Great communication and explained step by step what is/was happening. She looked out for me and my child's best interests. V...ery thankful!

Not worth the money or headache

I hired this attorney for a child custody case. I ended up removing her from my case and hiring another attorney due to many factors. I wanted to be represented in a good light and with fair attorney fees. I don't believe this attorney displayed any of that.

Fantastic Family Law Lawyer

Tara did a fantastic job representing me through a bitter divorce. She was attentive, open and honest regarding my absurd amount of questions and concerns throughout 2020-2021’s COVID crazy virtual court hearings. Tara’s rates commensurate to her work production were far less than what she deserved!... The best advice Tara repeatedly gave me, was to keep calm and let her do her job…yes, I was very stubborn. Everything work out great in the end, where my post-divorce happiness is due to Tara’s representation and professionalism.

Withdrawal from case and charges for unknown work.

She was my lawyer from 2020-2021 and half the time I didn’t know what she was doing for that much money. Every time I turned around she wanted more money and then if payment wasn’t made she would threaten to withdraw over and over again. She didn’t a good job representing me nor did she even get my c...hild support takin care of. I ended up doing my case alone and winning with out her and getting my support. I wouldn’t hire her nor recommend her to anyone.
