Terrible Personality

This attorney has a very questionable personality and was focused on getting more money. I found her conduct to be questionable. I wouldn’t recommend her.

Great if you want to loose everything you've worked for!

If you want an attorney to get you raked over the coals, McLeester is for you. She's more interested in filing frivolous motions then actually looking out for you and your children's best interest. My wife got everything and more! You get what you pay for!

Thoughtful, Caring and Efficient - One of the best attorneys in Arizona

I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie McLeester on a complex family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Stephanie was thoughtful and caring throughout the process, making sure I felt supported and understood at every step. She was also extremely efficient—she didn’t waste tim...e or money and kept everything focused on what truly mattered. What impressed me most was how quickly she was able to pick up on the details of my case. She grasped the complexities right away and provided clear, practical guidance that gave me confidence moving forward. Stephanie’s professionalism, combined with her compassion, made a very difficult process much more manageable. I would strongly recommend Stephanie McLeester to anyone in need of a skilled and caring family law attorney, and I would absolutely work with her again in the future.

Adam

Average. I was more impressed with my ex wife’s attorney, and the judge decisions against me proved it.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
