Highly Recommended Professional

Sundee Stephenson is dedicated to her duty to serve her client’s best interest. Constant communication and keeping the client updated on the progress is especially important to Sundee. While being professional and courteous, she works hard to get the matter resolved quickly and efficiently. Sundee ...offers sound advice and counseling on all family matters and delivers it in a respectful manner. Sundee’s expertise in family relationships began while serving as a social worker at Dorothea Dix Hospital for several years. After working in the pre-trial unit, she decided to attend law school and later represented the Carteret County Department of Social Services in juvenile court cases. Sundee has done exceptional work for the community and was inducted into The National Advocates Top 100 Lawyers of Matrimonial and Family Law in 2016. I would highly recommend Sundee Stephenson and Schulz Stephenson Law Firm!

Sundee Stephenson is an awesome attorney. She went above and beyond in our very difficult case and we received more that we ever hoped for. She is very respected and is great in the courtroom. She is the best that this county has to offer. I highly recommend her for your family law needs.

Not only an amazing lawyer but an amazing person!

Ms. Stevenson Is an amazing attorney. She is very smart very understanding and very compassionate. My situation involved three children one who had to testify. She advocated for all of my children and made sure that my child was treated with respect and dignity. She did everything in her power to... try to get justice for my children. Ms. Stevenson went above and beyond what I expected! I hope I never need her services again but if I ever did I would not hesitate to hire her!

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.
