My soon to be ex husband (ex) signed on with Randy Steele in late October 2024 to start divorce…read moreproceedings. Since then, the advice he has given him is bordering on (if not actually) criminal. First of all, almost a month later, his lawyer has made no contact with me whatsoever. On top of that, the advice he has given him has been: 1. A car that was gifted to me by a family member and solely in my name, is marital property (which is untrue), and he can keep it, even though when he left, he told the police that he would make arrangements to give it back within the week (there was no other vehicle here for him to leave in). Arrangements were made for the following Thursday at a location he chose and he didn't show because Randy Steele said he didn't have to. 2. To write up a piece of paper and sign it saying that a car in ex's name is legal for me to drive, even though it isn't registered. The car is solely in ex's name, so I can't make it legal, only he can. Leaving me with a useless piece of paper and no way to get to the store or schools for our kids. 3. That I am to use credit cards that are solely in my name, to support our children (3 of them, two who are medically fragile and need round the clock care) and he will make the minimum payments on the credit cards, IF he has enough money after ex's bills are paid. Ex's bills are to be paid first though and if there is anything left after, then only the minimum payments on the credit cards will be met monthly. If I don't have enough credit, then I should put in for another credit card. (No alimony after 19 years of marriage and my being unable to work due to the children's medical needs for the last 13 1/2 years). 4. Ex will only see the children on Sundays. I am to make sure the children are available for him on Sundays in case he wants to see them. He only needs to tell me what times on Sunday he wants to see the children with an hours notice, since I know that Sundays will be the day he wants to see them, if he wants to see them. If I can't make Sunday work his lawyer will file paperwork against me for withholding the children and parental interference (He has seen them a total of 2 hours in October on one day and one hour in November last week, so far, with only a week left in the month). 5. That he is not to babysit the children for me to find a job or work, even though with my lack of work experience I can only anticipate making minimum wage, and the children need an LPN licensed caregiver or above, which will cost more than my earning potential. I will find out the reasoning behind this when we get to court from Randy Steele (although there is no court date or even a motion filed for a court date). Those are the only ones I can prove via text from my ex and the piece of paper he wrote out over the car that isn't legal to drive, but there are many more that have been said to me by my ex, I just cannot prove them. All while Randy Steele has not filed ANYTHING with the courts or made any contact with me. Might be a good idea for anyone looking for a lawyer to find a different one, because he isn't doing my ex ANY favors and all advice he has given him, is either negligent, downright criminal or both which will come back to bite ex. Shame on Randy Steele for encouraging an abusive man to put his children in a position to suffer.

I spoke to several others in the area and Johnathan was the ONLY one to give me a straight and honest response about my case. He did not give me false hope by telling me I would get everything I asked for. He instead was realistic with me and he is extremely responsive! If I have any sort of issue he responds to my email so quickly and I know that is not the case for most family attorneys. We are still in the process of getting everything ready so I will update how it goes during hearings etc... but so far he's the right guy for the job. When I asked my original attorney about the three people I interviewed he hands down told me Mr. Marks was the way to go and he wouldn't drain my account like the other ones and he is very good at what he does. He is higher per hour than the others but I am perfectly willing to pay for an amazing attorney. He is well worth the money I will be spendings as time goes on.

I grew fed up with paying exorbitant legal fees only to have my two previous lawyers do nothing. I was in the market for another attorney and I started calling around to different family law firms in Edwardsville. I spoke to an attorney who couldn't take my case, but I was referred to Amanda. From the very start, Amanda was honest and up front about what could/ or couldn't happen. She was brutally honest with me about my case and totally prepared me for what happens during a child custody dispute. She was not only very adept at representing me in my child custody matter, she fought hard for the best interests of my child. Many lawyers, (or at least my previous two) had only worried about getting paid and seemed to drag things out just to cost me more money. Amanda didn't do that to me. She is a compassionate, kind person and a passionate legal representative that will advocate strenuously for you and your child's rights. She is excellent at what she does! I never once doubted her abilities nor did I at any point lose confidence in her. If you are looking for a family lawyer that will stand up for you and your child, she will do that and so much more. I can never thank her enough for her help, her efforts and hard work.

She was always taking notes and always listening with compassion for what we were going through as a child's guardian. A child's life was needing her and us. We needed an expert to present our case and why we wanted to just go to trial. Trial was not fun! It was exhausting and time consuming but it was real and we had th evidence. She then had the facts and she presented them. She represented us and gave us a chance to be who we are as people. We are compassionate about what we are doing and we are caring people that are giving a child a chance and she represented us in a way it was heard. In the end the judgement was in our favor. Guardians, in a very tough situation, is hard but we knew we needed a strong lawyer to protect a child's life and we got it! We know if we need her again she will help us again!
