Christine Marguerite Stadler

I used her for a divorce in January 2019. She gave me free consulting hours for each month. While her time was limited so she never went over the free time, she always listened to me and answered my questions. She got me the outcome I needed at the divorce hearing and kept it from going to trial a...s well as making sure I didn't loose everything. She knows me by name and has always been personable to me. I used her a few years ago for some paperwork as well.

I was very disappointed with Christine’s representation. Like with most of the lawyers I have encountered, she was very forthcoming and motivated prior to paying her a retainer. I was so financially strapped when the divorce was initiated that I was happy to find a lawyer whose rate was relatively ...lower than others, had great reviews on kudzu.com and accepted a payment plan; but in retrospect it seems I got what I paid for. Poor preparation and poor representation which resulted in a horrible divorce settlement that left many issues unaddressed. When I contacted her after the final decree was issued to initiate an amendment to address the things that were still lingering, she refused to return my phone calls even though she knew I had a limited amount of time in which the amendment had to be filed. I had to hire a different lawyer to amend the order. Going through a divorce is hard enough. When you hire a lawyer to represent your interests who you pay thousands of dollars, you expect that lawyer to fight for you. The sad truth is many of them just go through the motions of the legal system, leaving you to plan, research and hope things work out. Unfortunately, that was my experience with Christine.

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.

Christine gives a great sales pitch and tells you what her strategy will be. Then she does the complete opposite and acts as if she never said the first thing. She does not act with discretion or professionalism. I received the divorce decree for another client at my home. Work is sloppy, they co...uld never spell the names correctly on any legal documents. She does not listen well at all and drives cases in her own directon without considering the client's needs or desire. She bargains on the side and it damages the outcome for the client. She should be disbarred.
