Warning DON"T HIRE THIS LAWYER "READ all the other 1 stars on here"
Stephanie didn't file any paperwork that was needed to help my case. Stephanie and her Firm, FAIL to RETURN CALLS, FAIL to be organized and be Honest with me. If you question her about your case, she will charge you like a court appearance. After 1 year and 13 months she decide to pull off my case...

Replied last January 22, 2021This is simply not true. All necessary documents were filed with the Court and the Court denied the request for a temporary hearing after the Judge interviewed the children. There's this little thing called COVID-19 and the Court was not setting a final trial on non-emergency matters. This Court did not believe that this case was an emergency. He complains of no communication, but then acknowledges communication when he says he was billed for it. I have over 234 emails back and forth between us. Dishonest through and through. I'm sorry you didn't like what you were told.

Not a good divorce attorney
If there was a lower rating than poor for responsive and keeping me informed I would have used it. Stephanie failed do finish or work on my case and managed to allow it to drag out over a year before I finally gave up and went to another attorney. She wouldn't respond to emails or phone calls.

Replied last April 09, 2015Unfortunately when a review is left anonymously it is nearly impossible for me to address it. However, I can say that I strive to provide each and every client with the best representation possible. I have a staff of 7 people who are all very skilled in their jobs and are available to clients at all times. All telephone calls and email are addressed promptly. Cases are not prolonged unless done so by the Court with just cause. I am sorry that this individual was unhappy with the services provided and am certain there is MORE to the story.
Stephanie J. Proffitt's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I highly endorse Stephanie Proffitt. Stephanie and I have worked together on several high profile CPS cases for parents that have been wrongly accused of child abuse, and every time we have been able to have the kids returned and the case dismissed."
"Stephanie is a hardnosed advocate for her clients. Still, she remains extremely caring toward her clients and their wellbeing. Such a balance is a rarity in the Family Law arena. Stephanie is well known at the Courthouse and her reputation is strong. Her right arm is Catti and she is one of the best legal assistant's I have ever known. Divorce is a difficult process, but having a good and respected lawyer can make a world of difference."
"She is an excellent attorney. I've seen her cross-examine CPS workers on cases where she has been appointed by the court to represent the children. She's tough and she does her homework!"
