Stephen Lloyd Cawelti

The process of Divorce is difficult. I had talked with other Lawyers before I chose Stephen Cawelti. He was patient in explaining what to do. He was always available to answer my questions. Stephen was able to negotiate an amazing agreement for me. I was working 2 jobs since my Ex Husband had not ...worked in years. We have 2 children and I was trying to pay all the bills. I was worried about needing to pay Spousal Support to my Ex, on top of everything else. Stephen wrote a stipulation that I would not pay Spousal Support and my Ex signed it! I'm so grateful! I highly recommend Stephen Cawelti for any family law matter.

Stephen handled my case for child custody/visitation issues a few years after my divorce and then again when I needed to request visitation exchanges to be at a local police station. It was a really difficult time and he made everything so much easier. Stephen is by far the best attorney I've ever wo...rked with. Through my job there are about 100 or so attorneys that I've worked with in the past and still do. There is a big difference between the other attorneys and Stephen. Stephen actually LISTENED. Not just superficially, with the "Yeah - I got it" and brush off I'm used to, but he really made sure he understood the situation fully. He explained everything, including options and probable scenarios, kept me informed, and kept me from panicking at court. The outcome was even better than I anticipated. I actually can't say enough good things about my experience. I hope I never need to go back to court, but if I do I will certainly call Stephen. I know that I don't have to worry as long as he is representing me.

For a simple divorce: no kids, no assets, and an already drafted agreement from my ex and I, I paid $2500 for my divorce and it took two years. I so badly regret ever going to Stephen, not only did he disclose my address to my psycho ex (which I specifically asked him repeatedly not to) until I threa...tened to sue him, he clearly sent my case over to his legal assistant to deal with and took forever in responding to me. My aunt paid the same for her extremely complicated divorce and it took six months. At my final court date Stephen had not informed me (or did not know/failed to do himself) that my agreement needed to be notarized. So after two years I was finally divorced but my lawyer failed to even notarized my agreement with my ex. What a joke, please if you value your money stay away from him.
