Awesome job I haven't seen my son for 6 months we went to court this morning and I'm picking him up this evening I can't ask for anything better than that thanks Mr Stegeman
Big Ups to Attorney Russle i appreciate you helping me win my child support/paternity case
Russell stegman recently represented me in my divorce process and he is a wonderful attorney. He went above and beyond what he promised. He not only got my divorce , my safety was his number 1 priority and he won me spousal support and my ex husband is responsible for my legal fees and attorney fees. I recommend him and his staff to everyone I know and if you're reading this please call his office for a consultation. They will do their best work to get you the results you want and hopefully even better than what you desire plus at a cost that won't break the bank.
My sister hired Mr. Stegeman to represent her during her divorce, prioritizing her safety and the well-being of our elderly mother, who lives with her. When she retained his services, she requested three urgent protections: a protective order, the right to remain in the marital home, and having the vehicle title transferred into her name. Her primary concern was safety, given her husband’s documented history of violence. Within two months, Mr. Stegeman unilaterally downgraded the protective order to a civil injunction—without informing her of the change or its implications. He assured her the two were effectively the same, which they are not. Since then, her husband has shown up at the home multiple times, issued threats, and forced her to call 911 on two separate occasions. Because the original protective order was dismissed, there have been no legal consequences for these violations. Despite repeatedly expressing her concerns in writing and continuing to make monthly payments toward what was promised as an inclusive fee, the issues she prioritized—protection, housing security, and control of her vehicle—remain unresolved. Disturbingly, a continuance was filed in her case even after she explicitly objected. In my opinion, Mr. Stegeman’s handling of this case has placed both my sister and our mother in continued danger. When legal counsel fails to act on clear, documented threats and ongoing abuse, it raises serious ethical and professional questions. Unfortunately, my sister is now no closer to safety or stability than she was before seeking his help.
DOESN'T SHOW UP IN COURT DOESN'T RETURN CALLS DOESN'T RETURN EMAILS DOESN'T RETURN MESSAGES DOES TAKE YOUR MONEY DON'T HIRE DON'T TRUST. DEFINITELY REPORTING THIS ATTORNEY
I wish it were possible to write a review without having to select a star. I would never recommend Attorney Russell. He charged me $5,090 for a custody and child support case. I paid him $1,500 down on a $4,000 contract on May 17, 2024! He showed up at two court dates and both were postponed. There was never a trial. And the day before the court date on October 29 of this year, 2024, he tells me I have to pay him an additional $1,500 to show up the following day, October 30. Then he tells me that I have only paid him $4,075 - $75 of a fee, meaning I have only paid $4,015. I send him my bank statements where they show $1,090 more than the $4,000, asking him to explain to me why those additional $1,090 if there was never a trial. Minutes later, the Lord sent me an email with a motion sent to the court withdrawing from my case. I wrote him again, asking him to explain to me why that diversion of money was used? And that after court, we could go discuss the payments and see why I've paid so much money and absolutely nothing has been resolved, and why I need to pay an extra $1,500. He just brazenly withdrew. Then, an hour before court, he wrote me saying he waited until the last minute for me to pay him the $1,500, to which he said I wrote to him saying I didn't want him to continue representing me. No one in their right mind pays thousands of dollars and then tells their lawyer to withdraw. I never withdrew it; I didn't say anything to him! I only asked for an explanation as to why he told me to pay $4,015 when I had paid an extra $1,090 and also wanted $1,500 more, and what had I done? Nothing. Nothing that cost more than $5,090. I had to block my cards because he started taking $1,000 a month after we agreed it was $500 a month after the $1,500 deposit. They're a scam; they don't even care about people's situations; they only care about the money. I hope they return all my money. And on top of that, they're playing with my mental health by leaving my case to the last minute! Without resolving anything and losing my money. Don't waste your time or your money. I believe in divine justice and also in earthly justice.
My law firm makes every effort to deliver the services clients need at a reasonable price by using the fixed price, limited engagement process endorsed by the Louisiana Bar Association. In this case, the client advised that she felt the legal fees were too high and she did not wish to pay the additional appearance fee of $1500 to extend our contract for the October 30 court appearance. A motion to withdraw was filed in accordance with he terms of our contract with her. I appeared on October 30 for purposes of the withdrawal at no charge to Ms. Tejada The court gave her additional time to find a new attorney. Our records show that this account has an unpaid balance for the LAST court appearance for Ms. Tejada in September. I understand her frustration with the court continuing the case over our objection TWO times after waiting around most of the day. Our firm protects clients from running up huge legal bills from unexpected delays by charging a flat fee for appearances. Including the amount she failed to pay us, her total bill was only $5,500. If she had been on an hourly contract her bill would have been $11,060 at traditional rates. It is very frustrating for everyone when the court keeps you waiting all day and then kicks the can down the road to another date. Fixed appearance fees put the risk of unusual delays on the lawyer , not the client. Everyone on our team worked hard for Ms. Tejada and I don't think we deserved the one star review.
They were very professional.i didn't have to do anything but give my information and they done the rest.i am very happy with the results of my case.i will be telling everyone about Stegeman law firm and the great work they do.im very pleased
Attorney Russel and his team are so great! They helped me through every step of my divorce and made the process easy and affordable. I was so stressed about the whole thing, but he made it so that I was able to relax and just let them handle it. Innah is amazing! So helpful, and kind! What a fantastic team!
Mr.Stegeman and his staff were pretty helpful and professional. They fought and worked hard with my custody case and everything went well! Thank you
They did excellent work on my divorce
Lost all of my money! I paid him $5,000 plus and he left me in a horrible situation. Lost both hearings and withdrew without even trying to help. Please find a better lawyer to handle your custody hearing. I have 50/50 joint custody and he left me with $700 in child support payments plus arrears.
Tom I am not sure what made you feel like giving us only 1 star! Our firm uses an unbundled legal services model which allows us to hold down costs significantly compared with other law firms. That being said, we also want you to receive the best service possible. Whether its the outcome or the attorney fees, I invite you to meet so we can , discuss the situation and see what might be done. At my law firm, your satisfaction matters and I am available to listen to whatever you have to say and do whatever I reasonably can to help you feel satisfied.
Attorney Russell and his team are truly amazing. They treat me just like family and I am so grateful. I am updated every week sometimes 2 times per week on my case and I truly enjoy our phone calls. Thanks for all that you do. I would highly recommend Attorney Russell and his team.

I have used Mr. Stegeman's legal expertise twice so far, for separate child custody issues. In both cases, I have been very satisfied in how he handled the situations... He is compassionate and understanding of his clients circumstances. I trust his legal advice and will return to Mr. Stegeman, if the need should arise in the future.
