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!

Divorce

Ms. Stephenson handled my petition for divorce. I had been married for sixteen years, with two children from that union. It was very difficult endeavor, with treacherous extenuating circumstances. Through it all Ms. Stephenson remained in control, calm, comforting, strong, and tireless. She was ever ...compassionate without sacrificing her professionalism. If not for her endurance and confidence in our stance I would have had nothing. I am finally at peace and happy. I am forever grateful to her.

Great at family law

She handled my child custody and child support matter very promptly and her office staff was great to work with. She was prompt in communicating with me and did a great job!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
