Stefanie and her team are some of the best in town. I have not only used her for multiple things,…read morebut have recommended her to dozens of others. Whom have also had great experiences. You will not be disappointed by hiring her or her firm to represent you.

I found Stefanie Ellis when I was down to a very short amount of time to attempt to modify spousal…read moresupport, and also paid her for parenting plan and child support modification concurrently. She took my case, knowing the deadlines. I paid her immediately and went to work. I provided almost if not all documents literally to her hands, many excellent documents to prove my case. I did a ton of the work and research, and ultimately she had me file my child support modification myself with vague information to undo mistakes she made, including filing the original modification wrong, as part of something else that was denied thus losing me a month of the modified support amount. The practice was brand new, her email didn't work properly (admitted in email); her partner went out 3 weeks early on maternity leave (admitted after her unprepared performance in court lost my case in a blink) and knew I had not previously had any attoney, gave me NO instruction about the court hearing day, ignored many emails with huger concerns and questions, didn't greet me outside to say anything at all, and in fact wwe in the courtroom chatting happily with the opposing attorney when I arrived. This is like yesterday. She fumbled through her paperwork unprepared, totally unknowledgeable about my case, had eliminated things from my declaration that came up (as I though they might) thus could not defend me when the opposing attorney spoke of them. She was HORRIBLE. I had one chance to get the spousal support extended which though difficult, I had very legitimate medical reasons to increase. It was so clear she had no time to prepare, and was a lone attorney with many cases and never admitted til later. She then gave me misinformation about withdrawing from my case and did not help me with a reconsideration or revision. I had to do it all alone as she said I hadn't paid her enough. I asked who could object to her withdrawal and she claimed the court or other attoney and failed to mention that her client could. I was still her client when I asked MY ATTORNEY for legal advise. She made me finish my child support modification and basically the opposing attorney completed paperwork. I lost $800 for the month she messed up on and had more over the top areas trying to meet deadlines and pull myself out of the mess she put me in . In addition, i could not at any point reverse her decision and errors on eliminating a great deal of my declaration and eliminating some of my dlexlararjlna feom oitside people, since if not in original paperwork, it cannot be defended or spoken of. The opposing attoney literally lied and lied and twisted information, and didn't even have the facts down as she defaced me. I had defended myself, Stefanie said not relevant so removed or all. This was a huge part of the opposing attorneys tactics and her lies and manipulation was strong and powerful and influenced the judge absolutely. The judge himself seemed sorry I could not speak since the opposing attoney objected any time I brought up what actually happened. I paid Stefanie $3500 for nothing. She lost the simple parenting plan mod I requested (so my home schooled kids would be able to school on Friday's ) ; lost $800 child support that was given and no contest just dated too late, lost all I asked for regarding child support, and by losing the spousal support request, lost me the hope of many many thousands , and the ability to ever open the case again. Do the math. I was married 25 years and received 3 years of spousal support as a full stay at home mom, home school mom, with a back injury and a sick child. I am single still, and should have been granted lifetime support unless or until remarriage. I emailed her to ask for help and she said she would be required to attend the hearing for the support modification. On the day of the hearing, she emailed me that she actually didn't have to be there after all and would not be. And that I owed her money still. I tried to work with her and negotiate with all the proof and emails and she refused to refund a single penny. I could not regret my choice to hire her more. This was a critical time.

Without his great expertise, I certainly would not have had as favorable and outcome as he achieved for me. His efforts reduced the charges and the penalties that I faced. I highly and strongly recommend Steve for any criminal case you may be facing

Steve Thayer is the best defense attorney anyone could ever ask for. Not only him, but his entire…read moreteam from Jacy Thayer all the way to his Legal Assistant and Office Assistant. They are a well oiled machine. I was falsely accused of a very serious violent felony that had the potential to effectively ruin my life. My case dragged on through the Covid pandemic. Throughout the whole process, Steve and his team were very professional and kept in contact with me and let me know what was going on with my case at all times. Steve could have gotten me the best plea deal possible due to his experience and relationships within the prosecutor's office. I was amazed at the deal he could have gotten me. Even with that said, I couldn't admit to something I didn't do and elected to go to trial. During trial prep, Steve and his team went above and beyond what I had expected. They arrived early and stayed late almost every day. Jacy made me feel so comfortable about my testimony to the point where I wasn't nervous when it came time for me to give it. Now came the trial... Watching Steve during the trial was like watching an artist paint a masterpiece. He scratched and clawed to win every motion and every objection. He was so well prepared. Even though I was terrified with my life on the line, Steve's level of expertise and level of respect he had in that courtroom really helped put my mind at ease. His cross examination of the State's witnesses was perfect. Jacy's direct examination of our witnesses and myself was so flawless, the prosecutor didn't even cross examine any of us. Steve and Jacy left no stone unturned and had complete command of the courtroom. Watching Steve go up against the State's prosecutor was like watching an MLB pitcher pitch to Little League batters. He dominated and painted the perfect picture of why I was innocent and should be acquitted. I couldn't recommend Steve Thayer and his team strongly enough. I felt so lucky to have him as my attorney. If, god forbid, a friend or family member runs into any legal trouble, Steve is the one and only defense attorney I would have them call. With all of his experience and relationships, nothing will ever catch Steve Thayer by surprise. He knew exactly what to do in every situation and advised me flawlessly. From the very beginning and having me do a polygraph, to advising me to do a bench trial, all the way through the entire trial. Steve knew exactly what to do and put me in the absolute best position to prove my innocence. Dealing with a situation where you need a defense attorney is never a pleasant experience, but if you are able to retain Steve Thayer as your attorney, you should be thankful and can rest assured that your case is in the hands of the absolute best defense attorney around. I truly feel like Steve Thayer and his team saved my life and I am forever grateful. I will consider them family for the rest of my life.

Ms. Dalton is thorough and won't rush a case when there is still investigation or litigation to be done. If you're in it to win, then Nicole is your attorney. At the end of the day, what price are you willing to place on your liberty?

My concern is that I did not receive updates regarding work that was reportedly being conducted on my case from January through June 2026, and I did not receive an itemization of that work until September 23, after I raised concerns about the handling of my case. Since posting my review, Nicole Dalton has sent me correspondence demanding that I correct or remove portions of my reviews and stating that she will evaluate available legal remedies if she believes false factual statements remain published. I am making this correction because I want my review to accurately reflect my experience and the documentation I have. What has not changed is my opinion of the service I received or my concerns regarding communication, organization, court preparation, delays, and the overall handling of my case. I also find it extremely concerning that there has been time for multiple communications regarding my negative review, yet I am still waiting for my complete client file after terminating the attorney-client relationship and repeatedly requesting it. I specifically requested that my electronic file be provided via Dropbox. I am also still awaiting the return of my daughter's original birth certificate. My original review reflects my personal experience with this firm. I am correcting the specific billing language for accuracy, but my overall opinion of the representation and service I received remains unchanged.
