Rita J Stevens Atty

I obtained Rita as my lawyer for my divorce and was completely amazed at how fast they served My wife and set the date for the temporary orders hearing. She was amazing in the hearing, the questions she would ask, objections and rebuttal. Very reasonable rate to be honest she should charge more.

Not a good lawyer at all!!! First divorce and she gave no guidance whatsoever. Luckily I knew someone who helped me put a few things together, or I would have had zero evidence. This was a divorce case with joint custody agreement of a teenager. She did not tell me I could have anyone testify on my behalf, and I tried to take a family member in with me twice, and she kicked them out. Since I made more money than my ex I got stuck paying child support with joint custody, and they started me in arrears 2 months. She did not fight for me at all!! The only positive words she spoke to me was at the final hearing. As she was shutting my file she stated your children have clearly been coached on what to say. Did I mention she did not even use any of the text messages or any good evidence that I had? Still charged me for each copy. I paid $1800 retainer fee, then $500.00 more, now she is still billing me $1200.00. For what? You gave me no justice at all. I got nothing out of the divorce. My ex's decree was the one signed as is.

I retained Rita for an uncontested divorce in 2010. Her retainer was more than reasonable. I think I paid a $1700 retainer and her paperwork showed she completed it for around $1200; very honest. She also seems very experienced and as a result, was very direct and to-the-point. She said what needed to be said and didn't waste time discussing things that didn't need discussed. Everything was filed where it needed to be and all expected paperwork showed up when I was told it would. Was happily divorced as soon as permitted.

Pure unprofessional, we didn't even get to explain the case and she would answer very rude and never even gave us a chance to explain or if there was any options to modify just started badgering us on why I agreed to it in the first place. Maybe out of fear, intimidation or my first divorce!. Either way it was very rude and very unprofessional to be verbally attacked without even knowing nor given an opportunity to explain. And border line racial comment "what's a matter can't you read english" I was SHOCKED and disappointed in her consultation.

Got right to work. Very understanding and doesn't judge you. One of the best lawyers in the county.
