Stephens, Caitlin M

After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Ball State, I moved to downtown Denver, Colorado. I spent two years working in group homes for children with Autism and other developmental disabilities. As much as I loved doing that, I really did want to go to law school, while staying in Colorado, so I applied to and got accepted into the University Of Denver College Of Law where I accidentally graduated near the top of the class. During the summer after my first year of law school, I studied abroad at The University College of London School of Law. While there I met the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and I somehow managed to convince her to move back to Denver with me where we were married. But, since neither of our families lived anywhere near Colorado, we decided to move back to Indiana, the state I was raised in, to raise our own children around their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

I originally practiced in Kokomo where I was able to be both a Deputy Prosecutor and start my own private practice where I did a little bit of everything, but focused mainly on personal injury and family law, including divorce, child support, visitation issues and everything else associated with divorce. While serving as a Prosecutor, I had thirteen felony jury trials ranging from pedophilia to murder, and never lost one. I was elected President of the Howard County Bar Association at the age of 31, the youngest in history. That experience proved invaluable and undoubtedly made me a better attorney.

This is what I learned as President of the Bar: People generally either hated or were greatly disappointed with their attorneys. It was a constant stream of complaints that their attorneys took their retainers, and as far as people could tell, that was all they did. They could never get any updates on their cases and they couldn't even get their phone calls returned. Yes, we are busy people, but no attorney is so busy you cannot return a phone call. Every phone call. That is why I sincerely and genuinely run my practice by the three principles I have listed on the front page of this website. I will ALWAYS keep your file in motion, never allowing it to sit idle. I will return every single phone call and I will never, ever, overbill you. Let's be honest; we charge enough as it is. I have found through thousands of cases that even if I come out on the losing end of a case, which I have to admit does not happen often, my clients are still happy with me because of how they were treated. I am a child of multiple divorces and I have a seven year old daughter. I try to treat every case as if it was my own because I fully understand what is at stake. Because, while I may have hundreds of cases at any given time, I am acutely aware that your case is the single most important thing happening in your life at the moment, and I swear to you I will treat it as such.

As far as me personally, I have a goddess of a wife and a seven year old daughter who is so beautiful it terrifies me. She was named Cassidy after a Grateful Dead song. I am an expert skier who misses the mountains every day; the skiing in Indiana simply sucks. I worship Charles Dickens and fear that he will be lost among our youth and their short attention spans. Despite my adoration of Dickens, my all time favorite book is Les Miserables, and second place is every book Charlie ever wrote. I despise social media and believe reality TV and celebrity worship are the scourge of our society.
