Wonderful woman and lawyer!

I found Mrs. Stillwell in 2017/2018 she made my divorce process a breeze, as much as she could. It was a trying and complicated year going through the process but she always helped me understand all the court jargon so I was fully aware of what was happening! Divorcing with 2 children and being milit...ary is never a great combo but she helped me our tremendously! I would and have recommended her to others!

Divorce - military spouse

I am in the middle of my divorce and I am so pleased with Mrs. Stillwell and her assistant/paralegal Tina, I had to write a review before my case is over. They take of business and keep me informed on what may happened next, what will happen next and what will be our next move. If my spouse/opposing... law firm did not meet a deadline or an extension , then they (Stillwell Law) would file the next document immediately, to let them know "we are not playing". Mrs. Stillwell explained the divorce proceedings very clear and I understand that nothing is guaranteed, it’s up to the judge, so even if I do not get what I want, my opinion and experience will not change. She is very knowledgeable in military divorces and I’m soooo happy I retained her to represent me. It does help that you do your part also, if she need paperwork from you by a certain date, get it to her. Help her help you. The firm is very personable; they made me feel like I was their only client. No matter how many questions I had or emails I sent, Tina would explain in detail and responded to my emails. Love this team, they ROCK!!!!

Earlynn Stillwell

Worst attorney on the gulf coast. The worst part about having a bad attorney like Earlynn Stillwell represent you in a divorce is that the courts will not allow you to go back and undo the enormous damage caused by poor legal council. Not only does Earlynn Stillwell not know the law but the entire... time of my mediation Earlynn was preparing for her next case instead of giving me good legal advice. To add insult to injury Earlynn Stillwell charged me more than 4 times her original quote for an uncontested divorce and when I questioned her about the outrageous charges she told me if I did not pay her in full she would call the judge and stop my divorce. I found out later from another attorney this was a huge ethics violation and not something a Judge will allow. Nothing like a lawyer strong arming their client.

If there was mediation it was not uncontested. Uncontested is based on 4 hours of work, where all parties sign an agreement before mediation. Have never worked on another case while at mediation with another client. My rates are one third to one half other attorneys. All attorneys want payment before the end of the matter. I have never told anyone I could "stop" their divorce.

GREAT LAWYER! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I read the reviews and I have to admit at first I was a little skeptical about making an appointment with this attorney. I decided to give it a try and I have to say I am so glad that I did! Attorney Stillwell is the best! She has been great through my entire divorce case. Anytime I had a question sh...e was there to answer. Her staff was wonderful and very patient with me as well. Not sure why the negative comments, everyone very professional and respectful each and every time I called or went by the office, and I must admit I called a lot. Again from the consultation to the end of my divorce Attorney Stillwell was there for me. I highly recommend this law firm.

I do not recommend E. Stillwell as an attorney!

Don't hire this attorney. She was so nice in my consult and made me feel great but that quickly wore away when I had questions about documents and my what my wife's attorney was saying to her who repeated back to me. I wonder if I could have done better sand saved more if I got a divorce for dummies ...book. The staff tries to help as much as they can but I paid the attorney her fee to EPO me not her secretary. In the end, my divorce is over, the attorney is paid and I'm left with a sour taste for the legal world. I don't recommend this attorney. Divorce is never easy to go through and an attorney who isn't there makes you feel lonely and wondering if you made the right choices.

I wish this client would have contacted me directly by email regarding their concerns. I usually have an hour or more conversation with them before they sign any documents or go to a hearing. I return calls same day if I know the client wants a return call from me and even call nights and weekends. Available by email 24/7. Tell clients routinely that "I do not sign documents I do not understand so I do not want them to sign something they do not understand"
