Licensed for over 10 years, I am happily practicing in my chosen field of law. Yes, I chose family law, I want to help you through your divorce, custody case, child support matter or post divorce issue. I attended undergrad at Kansas State University, pursuing a psychology degree and law school at the University of Tulsa. The field of family law is one of the few areas of law that allow me to make a true personal impact on a family. I am originally from a small hometown, Pratt, Kansas, but have lived in KC for over 10 years. KC is my home but I certainly haven't lost my small town roots. My husband and I have a young daughter who keeps us on our toes, and when not parenting we love to attend sporting events (especially Kansas State events), movies, antiquing down in West Bottoms, the occasional beer tasting and pretty much anything outdoors.

Unethical and ineffective
I hired Ms. Stevens to represent me in my divorce. After spending almost 6 months racking up billable hours while getting pushed around by opposing counsel I have still yet to see a courtroom, an offer, or even a response from my spouse's side. Ms. Stevens proved to be inept as an attorney in almos...
I understand the frustration by a client when his case is inconvenienced by a career move of his attorney. I was not authorized to discuss my move to a competitor firm by my employer that I was leaving the firm, so I do apologize for Chris' frustration with me not advising him I was no longer able to be the attorney on his case. However, my actions were never unethical, just frustrating from the standpoint of a client, and I understand that viewpoint.
"Ms. Stevens is an excellent family law attorney. I formerly worked with her at the same law firm, and since then I have advocated against her when we represented opposing parties. Ms. Stevens is blunt and straightforward, giving clients realistic expectations of their chances of succeeding in court. She looks for ways to resolve matters outside of court, but she won't back down when her client's interests are at stake. Ms. Stevens will take the time to educate you about the legal process and help you understand the tools available to try to reach your goals. She has excellent trial skills, and is experienced in the courtroom. I highly recommend Ms. Stevens for your family law needs."
