Phelicia D'Lois Stiell

I do NOT recommend hiring the law office of the Stiell Law Firm to handle any legal matters!!! I regret not doing my due diligience in researching this atty before paying thousands of dollars to someone with only 10 years of experience (at the time I hired this attorney) to handle such a sensitive m...atter of child custody and support. More specifically, my main grievance with the Stiell Law Firm was the EXTREME overbilling and what appears to be a breach of contract on behalf of Phelicia D. Stiell. After paying well over $4,000 dollars in retainer fees, more like $5,000, this firm capriciously hit me with an additional bill after the case was closed. Although this firm's contract states that they would provide clients a monthly bill of charges, I experienced no such thing! All of a sudden, I received a very questionable bill of alleged time researched on my case. And if there is indeed any validity to the excessive number of hours billed, it calls into question the knowledge level and competence of the Stiell Law Firm to handle family law cases. To make matters even worse, the amount of money I was receiving in child support DECREASED after hiring the STIELL LAW FIRM. I would have served myself more justice by researching the Florida Statues and representing myself Pro Se. In my experience, this firm did not aggresively fight for my rights and delivered absolutely no modicum of a sense of relief and security for my case, neither legally of financially. I've worked with another attorney in this area where I had a positive experience. What I saw was what I got. Not the case here. I suggest that Phelicia D. Stiell of the Stiell Law Firm enroll in a continuing education course of the ethics of law, at minimum.
