I was a different person and now care full time for my disabled toddler. I was terrified that I was going to prison and my son would be left alone. Mr. Stobbs was a godsend. Even though I wasn't sure what was going to happen. He didn't make any huge promises but did let me know what the best and worst case scenario would be. He definitely put my mind at ease right away. Federal representation isn't cheap and other lawyers quoted me astronomical prices. He was fair in pricing and he worked with me to make the final payment. I am confident I made the right choice in an attorney. He worked hard with very little disruption to my life as I needed to focus on my son. He was able to get me pretrial diversion which means after 18 months with no further infractions the charges will be dropped and my case dismissed. This is almost unheard of in Federal court. I can assure this is the attorney you want backing you (especially in federal cases) as many lawyers do not have the experience or expertise that John has. If you hire Mr. Stobbs you can assure you are in great hands and he will fight to get you the best possible outcome.

Instead, my case was handed off to Rebekah, whose handling of my divorce was deeply disappointing. I found her to be inexperienced, unprofessional, and unprepared for the complexity of my case. Communication was poor, I was rushed on critical matters, and I repeatedly had to follow up on issues that should have been handled proactively by counsel. Rather than receiving guidance and advocacy, I felt I was managing much of the process myself while incurring significant legal fees. Had I known my case would not be handled by the attorney whose reputation drew me to the firm, I would not have hired them. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm if you are seeking seasoned, attentive divorce representation.

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.

When I was going through a divorce, I had hired two previous attorney's that did nothing for me…read moreexcept take my money and achieved little to no results. 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 also just won my case for me, after almost five years of deliberation and continuances brought about by my ex-husband's lawyer. I highly recommend her for anyone starting the long, expensive journey of divorce/child custody in Madison County Illinois. She was recommended by the division of child and family services, as a former employee. She is located in Highland Illinois. Give her a call. You can thank me later!

I was in St Clair County from LA when I was injured in an accident with an 18-wheeler on I-255 that totaled my car. I tried to handle the claim myself but was in over my head trying to and got the run around from the trucking company that caused the accident. Since I was back home in LA, I finally went to a local law firm and they recommended Adam because they said I needed a lawyer where the accident happened in IL. Once Adam took over dealing with the adjusters and my financial recovery, I only had to worry about my physical recovery. Adam handled all of the negotiations for me and was able to make me whole again financially. I couldn't be more satisfied with his handling of my claim!

Day one talking to Barb I gave her a piece of paper with secure evidence of NEVER missing a child support payment plus 11K voluntary overage payments I made to my ex over the years through IDSU that St Clair Co. mailed to me that past Dec 2014. 100% NOT GUILTY defendant & she took advantage of me not knowing & trusting her to help me as she said on day one. Her words were that there was no way I was guilty of the accusations of owing my ex anything. This matter should of been over before it started. But after 19K drained from me over 1.5 yrs from Barb Sherer I said enough I am going to be my own lawyer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Trust this review at a minimum if you are not the plaintiff seeking money or are the defendant that is innocent. NEVER HIRE BARB SHERER in Edwardsville, I do mot believe she has anyone's best interest at heart but her own. But I will only speak for myself and I know for a fact thats the truth. I was naive as I had never been in this situation before. How she ran my bill up was by cancelling court dates. Which then started to become a domino effect of me trying to keep up with her $1500 retainer fee which seemed almost monthly. Which a couple of those court dates she blamed me to the courts that I was not current on the retainer fee so she would have to cancel, then cycle of me paying more would happen until I ended it Oct 2016 finally.
