A+

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeff Stivers for a complex legal matter, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome. Jeffrey's expertise in both criminal and family law was evident from the start. He approached my case with a deep understanding and a compassionate demeanor, ...which made a stressful situation much more manageable. He also helped me with an expungement. Jeff's communication skills are top-notch. He kept me informed every step of the way and was always available to answer my questions. His dedication to my case was unwavering, and his strategic approach led to a favorable resolution. I highly recommend Jeff Stivers to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled attorney. His commitment to his clients and his extensive knowledge of the law make him an invaluable asset.

Jeff Stivers Family Attorney

5 stars for sure! Jeff was super communicative from day 1 and all throughout my case. His response times were extremely quick and information on his input was very accurate. We got really good results in court from what could have been much worse compared to others that I knew about, with the same ty...pe of DUI case. Along with being a great attorney with my case, he also gave great advice during a tough time. I really couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended for DUI and family attorney! He knows what he’s talking about and has your back. I felt it from the moment I first called about my case.

Urged me to sign a sub-out form 3 weeks before my divorce

I ran out of money and was awaiting payment of jobs so I could pay Mr Stivers, he got scared that I couldn't pay him at all so he "urged" me to sign a sub-out form 3 weeks before my divorce. I had been married 20 years with 5 kids, 4 of which were still at home with me. It ended up that I got NO al...imony, NO child support & none of our 401K or investments, I even lost the family home. Had Mr Stivers looked into the loan or title, he would have found that my ex had not been paying on the interest of the loan as he had agreed to had refinanced without my knowledge. My ex bankrupted the business by moving the financial assets out and left me the house and business in the divorce in exchange for all of the above. Would I recommend Mr Stivers? Definitely not! Did he do his job and protect me and the kids? Definitely not. I would not recommend him at all.

You won't find a better lawyer

Jeffrey took on a difficult case for my brother and I was amazed by how knowledgable, professional and compassionate he was. He was able to accomplish an amazing task to help my brother with his legal issues, both at the state and the federal level. Not only did he work above and beyond what any one ...could ever expect, he really cared about my brother's outcome and getting him the best help possible. I can't say enough positive things about him. I absolutely would recommend him.

Jeff Stivers is the BEST!!!

Jeff Stivers has been a godsend for our family. Jeff is such a professional and compassionate attorney. Jeff went above and beyond to help my ex’s legal troubles. He is very responsive, always answered our texts, emails. Jeff didn’t have to spend all the extra time and headache to research and he...lp my ex but he really cared about him and our families that he did it without a complaint. I’d definitely recommend Jeff Stivers for your legal help. You WILL benefit from his expertise and compassion.
