Reviews
Ms. Studstill and her assistant did a phenomenal job handling my divorce. They were both very professional and knowledgeable about the matter. I am very pleased with the end results. Thank you. I definitely recommend her.
The entire Studstill firm were amazing. They were very attentive to my needs and kept me informed during the entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance.
As a father of three, filing for divorce was a scary proposition… there were so many unknowns… I had many concerns… questions about my rights, and how divorce would affect myself and my children. Michelle was very easy to talk to, she is extremely knowledgeable, she cares, she is a straight shooter, and she fought for us like no other attorney would. The divorce process can be very hard, there are many challenges, especially when children are involved, and mine was no different. Despite those challenges Michelle and her entire staff had my back 100%, they were always there when I needed them most, fighting every step of the way. They answered my questions, provided moral support, and were always a step ahead of the game. Her experience, knowledge, positive attitude, and fighting spirit are second to none… I will forever owe a debt of gratitude to Michelle and her staff, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of representation as she is without a doubt, the best of the best…
Ms. Studstill had an uphill battle with my case as I was going up against a very powerful family. Added to that I had to relocate to another state from FL. I worked with Michelle and Jeremie for nearly two years. I came to them during the hardest time of my life, then of course a pandemic hit to make it even harder. When I started working with them for my divorce and custody battle I was very defeated, broken and I did not believe I had a chance to see the light through the nightmare I was living. Michelle and Jeremie were there every step of the way. They went above and beyond for me, my kids, my cases. You hear horror stories about lawyers, but the exact opposite was true working with Ms. Studstill. There were times when I had things come up on weekends, after hours, when they were on vacation or spending time with family. No matter what they were there to give legal advice or just remind me that I was strong and would get through this. When it was finally time for my actual cases, they put everything they had into them and they won all my cases. I gained relocation for myself and children and I settled my divorce. In addition to being my lawyers, they were also a great support system. They refused to give up, they pushed me to see that I was worthy and I had fight in me that I didn't know I had. So if you are looking for a family and/or divorce attorney look no further because Ms. Studstill and her paralegal Ms. Ayala are who you want AND need in your corner!
Michelle and Jeremie didn't just see me through a horrible divorce, they protected my family and children. Their attention to detail, their professionalism with personal care, and their drive to protect children was beyond words. Absolutely amazing and I can't say enough about how wonderful they are!
Ms. Studstill was recommended to me through a friend of a friend. From the initial consultation I knew that I had found the right lawyer for me. Once hired and throughout the divorce process, Michelle and her office kept me in the loop on the proceedings and guided me through the divorce process the entire way. Responses to my emails of questions were timely and explained what the appropriate procedure would be for what I was asking. Michelle was always up front about potential outcomes and delivered them with the lawyer's equal disposition to a doctor's excellent "beside manner". Divorce is never easy or simple, but Michelle and her office made it as easy and simple as it could be. I would highly recommend Michelle Pruitt Studstill to anyone going through the separation and/or divorce process.
She got back to me ASAP and was very professional about my case I would highly recommend her.
I met with Ms. Studstill during a very difficult time in my life. She not only got me in quickly for an initial consultation, but was always there when I needed her, even if it was just to reaffirm that everything would be okay. She was forthright when explaining her fees, retainer, and billing practices. She was compassionate and caring when I needed it most, yet professional and brilliant in the courtroom. Her paralegal was always friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Ms. Studstill to anyone in need of a family law attorney. She is the only attorney I would want by my side during this stressful time.
I came to Michelle when I was trying to leave a domestic Violence situation. My biggest concern was our almost 5 yr old that I did not want to be alone with him. She helped with an unexpected Injunction and the entire divorce was finished in less than a year. The office did have a change of staffing during the year and communication got a little spotty for a bit, but she was always there when things were really getting tough and I was really concerned. She was always able to put my mind at ease. The new Paralegal might just be going through growing pains, but seems a little flighty. There were definitely mistakes that I had to correct her several times and she would call to confirm I would be at cancelled hearings but it seemed to be getting better by the end of my time there. Billing seemed fair and Michelle was understanding to give me a little time when my retainer ran out and it was time to replenish. Overall, she helped make a nightmare situation livable and I will be forever grateful.
Honest. No pressure. Brilliant strategist. These are a few words that come to mind as I consider Ms. Studstill. She was: > always direct about pricing estimates associated with potential actions; > empathetic without being distracted by extremely emotional content; and > able to explain "foreign" legal terms, ideas and procedures simply, preparing me for a range of legal situations. I have no idea how I would have been able to navigate my personal legal issues without her wisdom and guidance. So, I offer the highest possible recommendation.
