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

I have hired 5 different lawyers to represent me over the past 14 years in ongoing legal battles with my ex, and was never satisfied with the outcome. We found Christine for the last (and final!) court battle with him, and finally won. She helped me to recover a substantial amount he had previously... refused to pay, and secured an increase in his remaining child support. She was very responsive to all my emails and calls. Great customer service and great representation!

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.
