Savannah Nicole Steele

Savannah was referred to me because I was in a post divorce nightmare. I am so glad she represented me! She is smart, fair, patient and tough. She helped me with my very challenging legal needs and helped me get as close to the result that I wanted. She knows what she is doing. I would highly recomme...nd her to anyone, especially those who want to get things done right and efficiently. Thank you so much Savannah with my case!!!

I hired Savannah Steele to help out with a pretty scary child custody battle that involved some very serious false allegations. Not only was Savannah able to defend me from unjust accusations, but her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support, and she took the time to explain each phase... of our battle with painstaking detail.

I remember the day that I sat in Savannah's office and we went over my international child visitation documents for the first time. She allowed me to vent ,cry and express my emotions for the safety of my daughter. Because she was expected to possibly travel abroad to Paris France to see her mother d...uring the summer of 2016. She allowed me to tell her that my daughter had bonded with me, the father, more so than her mother. This is primarily due to my daughter living with me since she was 1 years old. Now she is 11 years old. Savannah was constantly taking notes and she kept me focused on the real issue. The real issue was that I was about to face court because the ex-wife believed that I was preventing our child from traveling to France. And the truth is my daughter was approaching the age where she began to say that she would not travel or stay in France without her father being present. In my head I had a fear of a child abduction occurring by the ex-wife while my daughter was in France. My emotions were everywhere but Savannah understood the rights that my ex-wife has, based on the divorce decree, for visitation and yet she was aware of the potential for things to really go south if I did not contest the visitation and try to get a modification. My previous lawyer was not aware of the Haque Convention as it relates to my case. And he was not aware that my wife's country of origin (the Ivory Coast of West Africa) never signed on board with the convention. This fact alone with the fact that the ex wife has dual citizenship put my daughter and myself at a disadvantage if my ex-wife decided to take the child to her country. Savannah devised a timeline of events and scenarios that supported my desire to help my daughter have more control and not be dragged half-way around the world to some dangerous situation. She suggested that my daughter have a guardian ad litem, and or see a counselor to help her develop a conduit for her feelings and desires as they pertain to traveling abroad and visiting her mom. In short Savannah taught me to handle my emotions in the court room and present to the judge what needs to be presented at the right time. Even when tricks like suggesting to the judge that I be thrown into jail were attempted by the ex-wife and opposing counsel during the court proceedings, Savannah manage to stay cool and conduit business while I prayed! She privately spoke to the opposing counsel and Judge. She convinced the Judge that I had not broken the law/divorce decree. This situation did not warrant me going to jail. A modification to the visitation did occur. Things are better for my daughter and I. Savannah has arranged for us to "live and fight another day!" and I thank her for that. I am not a lawyer but I am a simple software engineer. I deal with logic each day. So I do know that Savannah is an excellent lawyer and very good thinker under pressure. She handled my case with a high level of professionalism.

I definitely recommend Savannah to anyone that's looking for a very honest, thorough and professional attorney. I hired Savannah while I was stationed overseas and she was able to flawlessly get the job done. Military divorces can be tricky and takes a very particular type of attorney to tackle it. T...ogether we both learned things that I can use to educate my Soldiers and Savannah can use in representing future clients.
