In 2007 I was arrested and book into custody Stephanie was my lawyer I was looking at 15 to 20 years federal prison she advised me not to take the plea so I didn't while I was in custody I was not able to be released due to at flight risk cuz of my FTA's I had in my past so they wouldn't let me out on pretrial services or signature bond or anything. Stephanie got me released. While waiting for sentencing Stephanie helped me with all courts justice courts and city courts and federal court shelled me get my driver license back as well and slot of my tickets reduced Stephanie also had stood up for me in court on sentencing day and advise me not to take the 2nd plea either the 3rd plea was 3-5 prison time as well as 36 months probation. Judge turned around knock the plea out and gave me 36 months probation and no prison time at all. I love this lawyer she is awesome she was the only one excepted my calls when I was detained in FCC. Stephanie is awesome not all lawyers are perfect and understand they do have a lot of cases to deal with but Stephanie did gud by my side

Stephanie handle a case for me 15 years ago. She came to visit me at the jail and advised me to accept a plea. I was looking at 57 years and I was an angry man. Had been victimized by the system and told her I wanted to go to trial. I eventually took a deal. She was always in contact and I walked away with 3.5 years. I recently spoke with her again and she was very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend her to others.

Stephanie Meade was appointed to my criminal case by the Office of Court Appointed counsel. There are many reasons I would NOT recommend this attorney. When I originally spoke to her regarding the likely outcomes of my case, she had said going to trial would not be a good idea unless I had something that would "impeach" the testimony of the other individual involved in my case. The issue is I later found out that even though Stephanie Meade claims to have "done a lot of work on my case" that she didn't even find out that the individual she was referring to was arrested nine days later in connection to a burglary relating to methamphetamine use. This information took me fifteen minutes to find from a library computer- so how much work could she have really done? The Arizona Supreme Court rules state an attorney is supposed to diligently defend their clients. She clearly did not. When I explained why a specific Tucson Police officer violated my Miranda rights, she told me that throws out my confession yet did not go to the judge to have the confession thrown out. This does not seem like a diligent defense to me. Also, I sent a fax asking a specific question in regards to a specific law since it may have given me a defense to my charges, and never even got one phone call to answer my question regarding the question in my fax. It was not until I was pleading to the charge a month later that she even addressed my question. I asked her why none of my calls we're returned and her response was "your not my only client". As far as I know she never interviewed any of the police officers or dug in to the reasons why my case and specific points were not properly documented by the police who investigated the circumstances that day.
