She Is Inadequate!

Stephanie Willison should be banned from contracting with the Yavapai County Public Defender. She is inadequate to handle criminal defense, unavailable to her client's by phone or in-person; all her calls go to voicemail and she does not see in-custody clients. She refused to work on my son's case te...lling him if he wanted investigation on his felony charge or a bond reduction hearing to hire a "real attorney." She told my son at his arraignment he was going to prison for at about 4 years and to get used to it. Well - we hired a "real attorney" and the charges were dropped in two weeks of the of the new attorney hire. I suggest Ms. Willison, you stick to selling Girl Scout Cookies and stay away from criminal law.

Sad

My granddaughter was given this attorney while she was in jail on fentanyl and during withdrawals prosecuted by video chat by a judge and a probation officer she got 3 felonies No Vivatrol shot given when requested by proper paperwork verified by the sheriff's department at camp Verde Yavapai County ...Jail The first Step Act denied in this jail. Did this lawyer care. She got her pay by Yavapai court and was done and when I tried to speak to her she told me I'd have to pay her money if I wanted to talk to her about my granddaughter's case. Awful experience

prosecutors dream

This is an Atty. who believes that police don't lie over the client she represents. As a Public Defender I had to fire her. She may be good at family Law but terrible as a criminal defense Atty.

Knowledgeable Representation

Stephanie represented me in a Grandparents Visitation Case where I (the parent) was against visitation. I felt she was concise and an excellent communicator. She knows the laws. I would recommend her to anyone who finds these values important.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
