Stephanie Ellen Powell

Extremely disappointing. After receiving my $5,000+ retainer, I was essentially ghosted. Then, the retainer was exhausted in less than two weeks with little to show for it. I was never kept informed about the work being done. Be aware that once you sign, all niceties are ogone and even routine emails... will be billed at more than $300 each. Based on my experience, I did not feel supported or treated like a real person. I was surprised by charges that I felt were not clearly explained and I felt the process was unnecessarily prolonged. When I asked for basic clarification about my case and billing, I left those conversations feeling dismissed and gaslit.

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.
