Debra E. Stokes, LLC 200 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29401

"Took a huge retainer, didn't actually do anything, kept all of my retainer for "keeping my case on file." Nice office dog. Found another lawyer who only drew from the retainer for actual work done, not just sitting on paperwork for a few months."

"I recommend Debra Stokes enthusiastically and unequivocally. After wasting money on other attorneys, I was fortunate to find Debra to be my advocate in an extremely high conflict custody case. My case was less about custody than it was a continuation of the psychological, emotional, and financial abuse that had characterized my relationship. Debra quickly grasped the dynamics that had eluded other lawyers and, finally, I had someone who was able to provide me and my child the protection and advocacy we needed. She was compassionate and highly competent, and I was able to step back and trust her do what was best for us, which was an enormous relief. Most importantly, the outcome of my case was more positive than I had dared to hope. She was my champion at time when I desperately needed one, and I will be forever grateful. Debra is the best."

"Debra is an excellent attorney. I've worked with her on many cases throughout the years as her financial expert. I have found Debra to be a person of integrity - thorough, dedicated, and responsive to the needs of her clients. And I've seen her deliver great outcomes for her clients also!"

"Debra is an articulate, intelligent, careful, and caring lawyer. She's always been there for us whenever we needed her, and, believe me, we've called upon her at some inconvenient times. No lawyerese - she explains things clearly and calmly and will work steadfastly and smartly on your behalf. Not only is Debra an excellent lawyer, but she is also an exceedingly good person and a pleasure to work with."

"I would highly recommend Debra for anyone needing a family lawyer in Charleston, SC. She represented me during a very messy, difficult, and hard divorce/custody battle. She went above and beyond the entire length of my case. I have friends who have had lawyers who are busy and don't always get back immediately to e-mails or phone calls. Debra is NOT that kind of lawyer. Multiple times through my case when either she or even I were on vacation at different times, I could e-mail her anytime, day or night, and she would immediately respond. It didn't matter how trivial the matter was, she was extremely prompt and professional at getting back to me and putting me at ease. When you are going through such a scary process of divorce/custody, that's one of the things you need most...a lawyer who puts you first. Debra is definitely that and more. If you are looking for a lawyer in Charleston, Debra is definitely the best!"
