Stephanie L. Judd

I interviewed with Stephanie when first beginning my divorce journey and ended up hiring someone else for a lower cost, which turned out to be a mistake. In the end I wound up calling her back mid-case and she still took my case, caught up quickly and worked efficiently to get us into mediation. Any ...bumps, hiccups or questions were answered promptly.

I was a wreck when I scheduled my first call. Stephanie helped me immensely and saw the struggles I was facing. She helped me come up with a very reasonable plan and helped me achieve so much with my parenting plan. She was there for me for matters not even involving my custody case just as a per...sonal level which is something I can never thank her for enough. She saw my needs and helped me get the best parenting plan options out there for my child and I. She helped when we had to go back several times for other silly things new and odds. She helped me realize how to stand up for myself and get the support needed and that I was not alone in this. I would say this is the best investment and help I have ever had in my life. If you need any help with anything for family law. Stephanie is worth anything and everything. She was the best and most informative person I know for this and is definitely the most attentive to details and what you need and want. I would say she is the best in her field and knows how to help where ever she can. Best lawyer ever. Just trust her she’s got you.

I recently experienced the absolute worst period of my life going through a divorce with young kids involved. I dealt with/hired 2 attorneys prior to Stephanie and they were both a nightmare of incompetence, lack of professionalism and unreasonable fees. (one actually sent a threatening e-mail aft...er our professional relationship had officially ended). After the second attorney, I interviewed 5 other attorneys. I experienced the most outrageous lack of professionalism, sliminess, and outrageous fee quotes that I have ever encountered in any other profession in my life. One attorney quoted me $13,000 more dollars to untangle the mess that my previous 2 attorneys had put me in. I was highly discouraged and really understood why there are so many lawyer jokes. Trust me, some of these people, if not most, are truly disgusting individuals and you do not want to get mixed up with them! I was unbelievably depressed, desperate and disgusted with what I firmly believe to be an incompetent and corrupt family law system. Stephanie then returned my call and genuinely empathized with my situation. She patiently explained the situation and quoted me about $3000-$5000 to help me fix this unnecessarily drawn out process. She genuinely cared and was willing to step into the mess to help. The relief that she gave me on that first call was indescribable, I literally broke down in tears of relief after the call! From there she quickly got the stalled process moving. At that point I had no trust and significant animosity for anyone involved in the divorce industry. I was fighting for fair access to my own children, through a tangled web of illogical, and at times unjust system that I did not understand, as I am a logical person. Stephanie was always there to explain (and often re-explain the confusing details). She genuinely related to my frustration with the system. With the loss of my family and the horrendous experience with other attorneys I was out of my mind. I'm certain I was a difficult client. Stephanie seemed to genuinely understand me and my situation and she was incredibly patient and judgment free. She is an absolutely wonderful communicator and this is one the most important attributes an attorney can have. All said and done, my divorce cost me just over $30,000 in attorney fees and I think Stephanie's fees were maybe $7K of that. This system can financially and mentally rape you (while you are going through the worst experience of your life). I have significant experience now with many lawyers and I can absolutely assure you that you will be in good, caring hands with Stephanie. If I had found her earlier, I suspect I would have saved at least $10,000 and had relative peace, comfort and security. I think Stephanie did the best she could for me given the system and the situation I was in. I am taking the time to post such a lengthy review, because I would not wish my experiences prior to Stephanie on my worst enemy. Good luck to you if you find yourself in this horrendous situation of a divorce with young children involved and a nasty ex with a very good and competent attorney. One last word of caution/advice. I thought I knew the woman I was married too and that she would be reasonable and fair during the process to make it an "amenable" divorce. I was very wrong! It is crucial to acquire a very good attorney, who is prepared and competent, right from the beginning in case the ex does turn nasty. Stephanie is that attorney and her fees are as reasonable as attorney fees go. I think her work is an excellent value. She even followed up with me recently, months after the divorce was final, just to see how I was doing!

Stephanie helped me with my divorce. She was a great adviser, and always gave me the best direction, even when she knew it was not what I wanted to do. She helped me make smarter decisions, which resulted in a quicker resolution of the divorce and kept the legal costs down. I appreciate Stephanie'...s help and recommend her for anyone going through a divorce.

Stephanie Newton was hired to help my son get his fair share of custody of his daughter. As often happens, allegations were made to try to make my son look bad. Ms. Newton was able to show the judge that these allegations were unfounded and simply an attempt to influence the custody decision. She ...was also able to help my son realize what was reasonable to expect as an outcome of a trial if an agreement could not be made during mediation. I think this helped avoid a costly trial with an uncertain outcome and resulted in an agreement that was fair to both parties.
