Christine Marguerite Stadler

Christine will change after she gets your retainer. She doesn't charge much after the initial retainer. 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. She is very, very unprofessional and cunning when she needs to over simplify your case so she can dump you in whatever way is convenient for her. She will go against you, lie to you but initially she will give you her big sales pitch plan when you look at her web site or meet with her. Her sales pitch is to ask you for all the money up front( a large sum), and then she bills you for a tiny fee each month thereafter. It is less than $100. Per month. When she wants to be done with the case, she promptly agrees with the opposing attorney on every issue and ignores you and refuses to respect your wishes. Christine Stadler temporarily lost her license in 2004 and was repremanded. Take heed. She is not a safe person to trust as your attorney. She is phoney sweet at first. Then later changes to a lying, table turning person, even at the expense of your child's safety. Beware of this attorney.

She was recommended to me by my doctor. At first, she was very receptive and had a lot of terrific ideas as to be able collect a temporary order for child support. Unfortunately, my x-husband was out to hurt me terribly r/t custody issues--she was very calming to me and gave me good cues for my respo...nse. I was very distraught by my x-husband harassing me and stealing information off my computer; he also sent nasty emails and would disappear often../ nobody really cared about computer hackers in the early 2000's not like now, anyways, with that thought I was able to speak with her each time and she reassured me (unknowingly she was charging me by the minute). Anyways, as it progressed, items were changed without a mention allowing more visitation to him in the final documents after mediation, as well, as holiday visitation if I was to move out of state. She became less and less involved and I was moved onto a new attorney in her firm. She became more involved in the Fen-Fen deaths in Florida and the lawsuits available. After 3 yrs of this mess, we finally were done; come to find out (my mistake I didn't read the final decree cause she said it was the same documents as agreed). Guess what ?? It was different from what was agreed on. UGGGGG!! There was no way to get in touch with her , she was totally gone, out of the picture, off the face of the earth!! There was nothing to be done except for me to finish paying my bill.

Every time i call she is out of the office. Since she has handled my case, I have only spoken to her twice out of a 3 year period. I am only in contact with the paralegals and they are not require to give me legal information. I am only be given amounts that I need to pay her but I don't have a dec...ent answer on why I need to pay that amount.
