Stephanie Kyle Housefield

I reached out to Stephanie Housefield back early 2023 for “improper lane change” traffic violation and paid $650 for attorney representation fees. I had no prior traffic tickets in the county, no ticket for the past 7 years and I never had any criminal record. She listened to me, asked few questions,... and confirmed she would be able to represent me. I have not heard back until five months later when she sent an email saying “The court’s system has been updated, and the fine is now ready to be paid. Again, the prosecutor reduced the offense to a “basic rules violation,” which is not a reportable violation. This means you will not receive points, it won’t appear on your driving history, and insurance won’t know about it". I happily paid the fines to the court and said thank you. Great outcome – No insurance increase, no record on my driving history…. until early 2026, 3 years later, when a potential employer decided to run a background check as part of the employment process and found out to my surprise I had a criminal record – “misdemeanor for basic rules – Too Fast for Conditions” which I did not know. I reached out to her via email to ask is she knew about this, but I did not receive any feedback. This is frankly dishonest, unethical, deceptive, and untrustworthy. A lawyer is supposed to represent the clients in good faith and ensure they are informed of all consequences, good or bad. Or at the very least, provide complete feedback. When you contact this lawyer, make sure you ask detailed questions about the final outcome and even better, show up yourself at the court hearing to avoid any surprise.
