Stefani Kay Nolan

I was charged 4500 dollars for this woman to represent me in a child custody case. Which she at the start told me that she would file a relocation and also have the father drug screened. She did neither. So after her not doing anything the entire time she was hired she tells me she wants more money.... I am out of state and my husband lives in the state. He is abusing as he has a domestic violence charge against me and was told to me by various sources sleeps with underage girls. My attorney said that was hear say. She let his attorney do all the talking and writing up orders. Biggest waste of money ever. She is moving to a different law firm and informs me she is done with my case before trial has even started and I could pay her more money if I wanted her to I would have been better to do it myself and save money. They are trying to get me to pay child support to a 50 year old man who is still in a band and addicted to drugs and alcohol. But apparently he wins because he is in the state and I’m not.

In 2009 I hired Ms. Nolan to represent me in a family law matter. Her fees were high, and her performance was very poor. In my case, my husband had liquidated our assets prior to the divorce, and after the divorce, hid and liquidated his assets. His support arrearages were at astronomical figur...es. In court, she asked my ex-husband and I to step out of the court room for the attorneys to speak privately with the judge. My case dragged on and on without action from her and without resolution. She did not return phone calls or respond to emails in a reasonable amount of time. She had constant excuses about her personal life interfering with her work. She filed a notice of withdrawal from my case (which I did not argue about). Two years later, when I ordered a copy of the court reporter's transcripts, I read that she had asked the judge to reduce un-modifiable alimony, so that he could "afford" to pay his arrearages on child support. This was great representation... for my ex-husband...

She took me to mediation and went to court for a hearing for my divorce after paying her $40,000.00. Wen went in front of the judge wothers Keran Cole and the judge didn't sign of on my divorce because Stefani didn't complete my timesharing to get my girls.. So insisted all my time with mediation an...d all my heating.

I hired Stefani Nolan to represent my son in a divorce case. $7k later we still did not have a court date or anything resolved. When I questioned where the money had gone, she got very defensive and quickly filed to be removed from the case and then billed me another $900 for "withdrawal" fees. DO... NOT HIRE this attorney. You are better off representing yourself and getting the same results. Do not waste your money find someone else.

This attorney had me for over 40K in fees before we ever had a court appearance. It was almost like she was working for my ex since she conned me into signing a temporary consent order GIVING away more than I would have been ordered to pay in child support, stating it would only be for a couple of m...onths which ended up being 3 years. The OC ran circles around her, she looked like buffoon. She told me she made verbal agreements with the OC that the OC later denied. She couldn't even keep my child in her school during the litigation. Even after a custody evaluator's report came out in my favor, she tried to talk me in giving up custody to my ex during mediation. After I fired her, my new counsel won my custody case for me within a year. If this woman had any conscious she would just cut me a refund check for the money I wasted on her and the negative impact she had on my health and my children. The only positive was her assistant who was extremely professional and without her the business would go down the tubes.
