Fantastic experience/Great law firm!

My family had numerous questions about pursuing an adult adoption, and from our very first conversation with Caryn Stevens, it was clear that she was the ideal attorney to guide us. Caryn explained the legal aspects thoroughly, providing clarity and immediate reassurance. Working collaboratively with... Caryn, Ashley Ackerman, and their skilled paralegal, Frank, made this the most positive experience I have ever had with legal representation. If you are seeking an attorney, I highly recommend Caryn Stevens and the outstanding team at Stephens & Stevens.

Above and Beyond Professionalism and Skill!

Caryn Stevens was the saving grace for me, during one of the most difficult times of my life. After being married for almost two decades, I was completely unsure of where my life would end up upon the dissolution of my marriage. Caryn was there every step of the way to explain everything, help me to... understand my options, and make me feel comfortable with the whole process. I never doubted for a second that I was in the best hands possible, and that her advice was unquestionably in my best interest. She gave of her time, her patience, and her expertise in a manner that was so far above and beyond anything I have ever experienced from an attorney. It was obvious that she was looking at me as a whole person, not just a client. She put my best interest, and that of my children, above her personal commitments time and again during this process. I can see why she came so highly recommended, and I have since recommended her to multiple friends because I have learned, first hand, what a difference having someone like Caryn on your side could mean. Without her, I probably would not have my house, my boys would not have been able to stay in their school, and I can not even quantify the emotional turmoil that she has shielded me from. I consider her my angel, and I will forever be grateful. Moreover, everyone in the office was a pleasure to work with, and stepped in to make the process run smoothly. Eddie Stephens, Caryn's partner, was available for phone calls, when Caryn was tied up in court and I needed immediate advice. They make an incredible team! Frank , Caryn's legal assistant, was so friendly, responsible, and timely. He kept me in the loop every step along the way, and was far more organized than I could possibly be, with so much going on! I have never been so well taken care of!

Highly Recommend Caryn Stevens

Caryn Stevens represented me in a very challenging child support modification which resulted in a very successful judgement. Caryn's high level of expertise and knowledge of family law was very apparent during the litigation and in the courtroom. I felt Caryn took time to truly understand the comple...xities of my case and from the onset approached the case with the unwavering persistence and tenacity needed to succeed. Communication from Emily and all involved in her firm was top class. I highly recommend Caryn Stevens and her law firm.

The Absolute BEST

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Caryn represent us in our case. Prior to hiring her, she was completely upfront and honest about her assumed outcome of our case. Throughout the entire process, she did not slack ONCE. She, and her staff, put forth more time, effort, meticulousness... and dedication than I could have asked for, which is worth so much more than money can buy. She went above and beyond to fight for what she felt was just and wouldn't accept anything less. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, she responded promptly and ensured I understood what she advised. Caryn is the type of lawyer that puts pride into her work and consistently gives each task 110%!! I cannot fail to mention how knowledgable and highly educated she is in her profession. I wouldn't trust another lawyer to have the knowledge, persistence and dedication she has. In the event that I would need representation or guidance in the future, I will definitely be calling Caryn and would refer my friends and family to her as well.

The best!!

Caryn was a recommendation from a co-worker. We were skeptical due to attorneys we had used in the past. She was straight forward and upfront about everything involved in our custody case from the very start. Her knowledge of the law in the state of Florida and the ins and outs of the court system an...d processes is highly evident in everything she does. She listened to all my wants and needs (even when they were unrealistic) and was able to formulate something that was realistic but stayed true to what I was hoping to get from my case (my prior experience with attorneys was that they promised the world even when it was unrealistic and I was unsatisfied & disappointed). I can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Caryn- she is prompt, punctual, smart, a true strategist. I would hire her 100x over and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking an attorney for a family law issue.

"I first met Caryn when I was a law clerk, and I instantly felt she was someone I could trust, not only as a friend, but as a Mentor. Caryn was always present, and provided guidance as a Mentor when I began practicing Family law. Since then, I have worked with Caryn for the past three years, and have witnessed both in and out of the courtroom, her professionalism, and very compassionate, yet assertive approach to her clients and firm."
