Smart and Pulls Through
I came to Stephanie after I lost an emergency hearing that should have never happened! I was in a really bad place and was hopeless! I went to a big law firm, but the attorney I had it was his first case. He fought hard for me, but he wasn't experienced enough to know how to handle someone who manipu...

Saved my life
I hired Ms Proffitt in the middle of this pandemic. She explained to me that the courts were operating under very different rules and timeframes, but that she would do everything in her power to help my children and me through an abusive and financially draining situation. Her and her staff were al...

Bull Dog of an Attorney! Respected by Judges and Attorneys! I witnessed it with my own eyes and ears! Stephanie Fights For YOU!
Stephanie has been assisting me for many many years. Her service to her clients is impeccable. She first assisted me when I was having baby mama drama when my daughter was 5. My baby mama would not let me interact with my daughter. Stephanie stepped in and got me my visitations. Fast forward to 2018 ...

Girl Crush
I've known Stephanie professionally for years. I hired her recently to represent me in my divorce with full blown custody and complex property issues and it's as nasty and bitter as your worst nightmare can imagine - which is no surprise given that I'm a family law paralegal getting divorced from a f...
"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!"
