***************** Buyer BEWARE!!*********** 1. This firm is a FATHER'S RIGHTS Firm ( I would have never gone there as a Mom had I known this -- nor is it disclosed anywhere. It became obvious over time, in her multiple failures to protect me) 2. Please notice that there are **very few positive** reviews for Steffanie Kotick on this page; this clearly conveys a message to the client. 3. Positive reviews are over 5 years old. It has been a long time since this attorney performed well for her clients. 3. These failures were: failed to show up at mutliple hearings gravely harming my case, NO showed at a Protection order hearing, blew off off an Intervenor hearing leaving me completely exposed! It wasn't calendared, her receptionist couldn't even find her. While we waited for her to show up, opposing counsel said he had reached out to her and NEVER heard from her. This cost me $12K!!!, plus my legal fees, lost income, an entire business, almost all its assets!!! She blew off at least three (3) hearing dates!, Made commitments for various actions that she failed to follow through on, failed to file a balance sheet and parenting plan for trial, at a contempt hearing: literally failed to present any of my evidence or ask me any questions from the narrative/affidavit provided and I was found guilty on counts where I was largely innocent and had multiple defense. I was lilterally thrown under the bus. I recall when the hearing ended, that sick in the pit of my stomach feeling. This was extremly negligent on her part she left me totally exposed, vulnerable and UNDEFENDED. 4. She reassured me she'd complete trial, then WITHDREW on the LAST DAY OF TRIAL, after a private conversation with Matt Catlett and Judge Post leaving me without a DEFENSE and scrambling to put together a 2.8 year old case in 8 weeks Pro Se. I lost everything as a result of it. The grave material harms are so severe as to be utterly debilitating and castastrophic . 5. "NE SHARED PARENTING FOUNDATION" recommended her -- as they supposedly help with hardship cases. No. BUYER BEWARE for NE SHARED PARENTING FOUNDATION. It appears that this entity works as a Father's Rights program as well. 6. Extremely poor communicator -- I had a crisis with assets and an email and call trail of a few months and she REFUSED and FAILED to address the issue before it came to a head -- then thousands of dollars of assets were lost. She RARELY communicated, unless I scheduled a sit down meeting where she'd make all sorts of promises to be more assertive and never did: she was given entire packets of affidavit/documents for opposing party's failure to pay medical bills, failure to fulfill complete and throuough discoveries, failure to complete a 2nd level parenting course, extreme amounts of failures to exercise parenting time...and she did NOTHING about any of it! 7. She left me defenseless, unprotected..and absolutely, unjustly destroyed my credibilty with the Judge. 8. She failed to coordinate, keep apprised and communicate with an expert witness. 9.She did nothing when the Judge failed to follow Statutes requring an ex parte PO or a hearing, I was denied both, and it was immediately dismissed - after there was a history of one being Ordered. 10. I produced all of my updated discoveries to her and she failed to produce them to the opposing counsel! This recklessly exposed me to the risk for contempt.

I had the privilege of working with Steffanie Kotik on a complex family law case, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very start, she demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and offered strategic yet compassionate guidance that made a huge difference throughout the process. Steffanie wasn’t just thorough and diligent—she truly cared about my well-being and that of my family. What really stood out was her clear and consistent communication. She kept me updated regularly and was always available to answer any questions, no matter how small. This made a challenging time feel much more manageable. Steffanie’s ability to handle the complexities of my case with both professionalism and empathy played a big part in my case progression. Steffanie’s thoughtful and straightforward approach made sure I felt informed and prepared every step of the way. Her combination of empathy, directness, and tactical expertise is rare, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support. If you're looking for a lawyer who is not only highly competent but also genuinely cares about her clients, Steffanie Kotik is the one to call. I'm deeply grateful for her help and highly recommend her services.

Angie has represented me all 3x when my ex decided to be a jerk. She’s been upfront & honest about my choices and given great insight for which path would best protect me & my children. Her advice to bring in a guardian ad litem for my kids was spot on so we could get my children what they most needed. She’s thorough but balances that with not wasting time & thus not wasting my money which is much appreciated. She’s timely in communication both in response to my questions and in updating me as the case proceeded. She’s been my lawyer for over a decade & will continue to be my lawyer for years to come. Thanks for what you accomplished on the latest case!

Great to work with.

If you would like to be robbed by a couple of trolls (physically and mentally) come on down. If you've wondered what it looks like when an attorney obtained their law degree from a trailer supply co and then got dressed at last years walmart fashion show... you'll love these guy. i dont support jeff epstein though so these guys values just dont align with mine

Pretty awful. Office smells funny. If you're into poor spelling and bad lawyers this is your spot tho.

Stephanie's amazing. Very helpful and hopeful. Which helps me keep my spirits up and keeps me hopeful as well.

Angelica is an amazing attorney. She was very up front about information and gave out advise based upon my best interest. I would recommend her to anyone! Will for sure be returning for future legal issues should they arise.

Angelica is a great attorney. This last year has been a very trying time for me and she was there for me during my frustration and worries during my divorce. She did best by me and was kind even through my tears and frustrations with research. I highly recommend her and she is kind and understanding.
