Stephanie Ellen Powell

If I could give a 0 star I would. She doesn't care about you, your family, or your case, only payments. I paid her and her firm over $12,000 for nothing. She talked down to me and threatened me if I ever got upset with her and her firms actions. I desperately tried to rehire her after my new attorne...y backed out on me last minute and she was the only one who knew my case and could represent me on short notice. I became my own lawyer and learned on the fly but spent 3 days in a divorce trial where my wife has severe dementia and her brother as POA filed for divorce on her behalf, guy has never worked a day in his life and I have to pay him $392,000 as my wife is on her death bed. No reply even. I would highly discourage hiring her at whatever firm she works at now,

Stephanie and her firm pressured me not to object to continuance after continuance, stretching the case over 2 years. She did nothing to prepare me for trial and didn't even know the specifics of my case. She would file motions with other people's names, reassured me that the case would never go to t...rial, and bled me dry so that the day the trial finally came I had already spent what going to trial would cost and could not afford it.

I hired Stephanie to represent me to have child support increased and tackle the issue of college for my son. I had documentation to support what I had done for my son for many years on a very tight budget. Stephanie was amazing at presenting my case to the judge and was very tactful about eliminat...ing personal inaccurate accusations against me. She guided me through a stressful time and was instrumental in keeping my expectations realistic. I was seeking increased support and help with half of my son's college education. Stephanie was able to negotiate 60 percent of the education and the support was more than doubled. I sat silent for 10 years due to fear, I was shocked with my victory. My son and I are now getting ready to select a college. Divorce is brutal and heart breaking if you have to go through it Stephanie will be the calm in your storm. Thank you Stephanie the future is looking bright! My son will exit college debt free giving him a great future.
