Christine Marguerite Stadler

Christine Stadler by far is the worst attorney I have ever hired. She gives you such a wonderful sales pitch ensures you of her master strategy then does the complete opposite. She sales herself as a pit-bull but more likely that of a chihuahua all bark and no bite. Then later she completely does an...d acts as if she never said or discussed anything that was mentioned. Originally, we agreed upon a total of $1500. She also indicated that she doesn't charge for emails or phone calls as part of her sells pitch. So I was like wow! I told her that I was on a fixed income and she assured me that was all that I would need to finish up my divorce. Which I also have recorded! Now she is suing me for $665.00 for unpaid fees. Which should be deducted from the work that I had to put into this case on my own. I called and called for several weeks asking for my final divorce decree. Neither her or her staff couldn't get a copy and they are right there in Georgia and I am in SC. Which I managed to call and received a copy. She then asked if I could send a copy of it to her office. And yes I have the email confirming that as well. She lacks professionalism and tact. Her work is ethics is very sloppy. She does not listen to you as a client once she gets your money. She could care less about what you as a client needs or desires once she has gotten your retainer fee. In which I am glad that I recorded all of our conversations. She is dishonest and untrustworthy. I totally agree with the last person when they indicated that "Her pattern is to sell you on her "game plan", then after a short while she will agree with the opposing side and rush you (and pressure you), to the easiest possible solution for her and do the exact opposite of what she promised she would do for you so she can be done with you because she already made her money on you." During my divorce I kept telling her that my son has severe autism and his father should continue with financial support. She tells me that no Judge is going to make him continue to pay after the age of 18 and I should just get a check for him. So I trusted her, too later find out that is not true because the circumstances is different when it comes to adult children with disabilities. So in other words I got screwed!! I have all the emails and recorded conversations to support this. Whatever you do, DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY she is by far unreliable, unprofessional and lacks the knowledge. She should be disbarred. Unfortunately the lowest rating allowed is a 1 star if I could rater lower she would get a zero

Christine Stadler is an incredible attorney. She patiently listened to even the most minute details of my case. She gave me solid advice that I still reflect on. My highly contentious divorce and custody modification were extremely emotional, but Christine's steady guidance helped me stay focused. He...r communication was prompt, her billing fair, and she went above and beyond all the time.

I used her for a divorce years ago. I recently saw her for grandparents rights. She didn't charge for grandparents rights. She only advised me. If she was crooked. She would have taken my case. Instead she advised me to hire a private detective. Because my granddaughter was 5. Judges don't always tak...e what a 5 year old says. Without solid proof! She's personal & cares. She makes me feel like a friend. She's smart & slick! (In a way that benefits her clients.) She got me twice the money I was asking for with my divorce. She knew I was to good for my own good. I was very gullible then! Believe me I've learned! My x can't stand her! Lol! I just recommended her to my sons friend.

She delivers a great sales speech up front. After that she is never available when you call and never calls you back. If you email her, her response will not be longer than a sentence. She did not care about my case and I got taken advantage of through the divorce. I had to go out an pay for anot...her attorney to try and get out of the hole that she left me in. Please please if you have a child and you want to see that child ... do not use this attorney. She also has a scam worked out with a mediator. The mediator will contradict what you have said and will tell the opposing side that you do not know what you are talking about. The purpose of this is to drag the mediation out as long as possible so that the mediator can make more money. Then Christine will charge you for overtime claiming the mediation went over the set amount of time. DO NOT USE

I was referred to Christine after working with an attorney from one of the big name firms and working with Christine was like a breath of fresh air. She was straight-forward, open, and fair in her billings. (which was opposite my previous experience). Looking back, I believe I would have had a bet...ter outcome if I had started with Christine, but at least I was able to walk away knowing that she had truly advocated for me. I would highly recommend Christine as she is one of the very few attorneys that works with integrity and cared more about me and my case than the money.
