Posted by Tammy | October 21, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

This Attorney has left me no choice but to submit my case for review from the bar association.It has been a nightmare

This woman drug my case out for 3 years charging for repeated appraisals repeated affidavit demeaning. After 3 years of little communication , begging to bring my case to be heard she kept telling me I would get hurt if the judge heard my case the day of court not even being able to pay my current ...bills in the affidavit he earned $14000 a month she got me 1300 and I lost my medical coverage after military divorce because she never filed the forms for the retirement split 20/20/20 rule 8 months later when I asked the status she said we are starting that now . After divorce you have 3 months to submit divorce decree to get health care under your social .. The only reason she finally heard my case is I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer .in Sept 2024 / hired her in Feb 2021 … RUN as fast as you can if you need JUSTICE.. This woman Mrs. Sundee Stephenson was my Worst Nightmare As of right now she withdrew from my case refusing to finish my settlement paperwork or file it for after courts knowing I was starting CHEMO TREATMENT.. Truly DISGUSTING…

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!

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.
