Amazing Attorney

Stephanie helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. She was extremely professional, fought hard in court for me, and helped build my self-confidence. Stephanie is the type of person you want on your side in a battle! I’m forever thankful for her!

Not a good criminal defense attorney

Ms. Hamilton and her assistant Caylen missed so much stuff in my case it's ridiculous I was convicted of a felony cause a lot of things were not brought up at the supression hearing that should have been that I found on my own after she withdrew from my case and after asking multiple times for my cas...e file. It's all in the evidence we were provided but they didn't wanna take the time to really look into it. So had to sign a plea agreement in which makes me a felon now and having a real hard time getting a job with that on your record.

Amazing

Stephanie was a appointed attorney to then hiring her, I can honestly say she is clearly amazing as well as her staff. Putting up with me during my tragic times and honestly doing the honest to gods best at what they do to be the ultimate best. I highly recommend stephanie and her wonderful paralegal...s. If you need something done hire her because she will take care of you. Shes honest and very confident in what she does. Thank you so much for everything you and your team have done for me and are continuing to do. Child custody is not easy and by far the hardest thing I could conquer and shes made this process seem like god sent her to me because without her and her team i would have always been scared to pursue such actions in worry of what the other parent would do. With her i never fear because she is the best and made me feel on top of the world when i felt my lowest.

Client

Stephanie did a fantastic job staying on top of the case. She helped me get full legal and sole custody of my children, and wasn’t thwarted by sketchy opponents. Both her and her paralegal answered questions I had and flawlessly guided me through this experience. She was very professional in the c...ourtroom and was sure to encourage me to keep my chin up. She helped me feel empowered through a very difficult situation. I would 100% recommend Stephanie.

Custody

Stephanie was my lawyer if a custody dispute. My ex wife was arrested and in a bad situation. Stephanie handled everything quickly and throughly and I ended up gaining full custody of my children. She made the process very painless and easy on my end. I highly recommend her

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
