An AMAZING Attorney who cares DEEPLY about the kids
Stephanie is an amazing attorney who is just not "in it" to be an attorney, she cared deeply about my children. She was assigned as an Amicus attorney in my case and went into the situation with her "eyes and ears" wide open trying to get the facts. She was exceptional with my children and connected ...

Great Attorney!
My divorce was a nightmare! Protective orders, CPS, crazy ex husband. And Stephanie hung in there, if I had been her I would have removed myself from this case. I have recommended her to several people! She actually cares for her clients. Catti was awesome. Always there to give information about my c...

Ms. Proffitt is a wonderful lawyer and great person
She was and is here for me and my child. She is expensive, but it's worth the money. I would recommend her to any single mother fighting for the custody of her children.

Ruined my Life
2 years ago I hired Stephanie and since this case I have hired 4 separate lawyer cleaning up her mess and each one has apologized and informed me I was poorly represented and she created a mess. DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON her team becomes the people working on your case not her. Her team are not lawyers...
I am well aware of who made this comment, despite posting anonymously. What you failed to state was that I was not your first attorney. You had entered into temporary orders long before you hired me and they put you in an awful position. You were not following the Court orders and were facing jail time. I kept you out of jail. I got you the best deal possible. You are correct about my team working the cases. We are a team that includes lawyers and paralegals with over 50 years of experience. We do our best to keep costs low. If I handled everything the costs would be astronomical. I use the best person with the best skills for each task.

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...
This 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.
"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!"
