ABOUT
A different kind
of family law attorney.
POSITION
Attorney at Law
FIRM
Seki Family Law
Roseville, CA
Some of the most difficult family law cases do not stay within the boundaries of family law. When custody disputes, restraining orders, and parental rights become entangled with criminal allegations, the stakes rise significantly, and the legal strategy has to rise with them.
Stevie Chapman joined Seki Family Law to meet exactly that need. After six years at the Public Defender's Office, where she developed deep experience in criminal defense with a particular focus on domestic violence cases, Stevie brings a perspective that few family law attorneys can offer.
BACKGROUND
Six Years
Public Defender's Office
What drew Stevie to Seki Family Law was not just the work itself, but the way Emily Seki approaches it: client-centered, thorough, and genuinely invested in outcomes that protect families. That philosophy is one Stevie shares, and it shapes how she approaches every case she takes on.
FOCUS
Family Law &
Criminal Intersection
Criminal allegations, whether connected to a family law matter or arising independently, often affect more than just the person accused. Charges such as DUI, theft, or more serious offenses can influence family stability, relationships, and long-term decisions. Working within an established family law practice, Stevie Chapman recognizes these wider impacts and addresses them as part of a thoughtful and strategic approach.
When you work with Stevie, you can expect clear communication, careful analysis, and an attorney who understands that the legal and the personal are never truly separate.
AREAS OF FOCUS
Where criminal law meets family law
01
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Stevie's background in criminal DV cases gives her firsthand knowledge of how restraining orders are sought, contested, and enforced, directly informing her work in family court proceedings where safety and parental rights are both at stake.
03
Family Law Cases with Intersecting Criminal Liability
Not every case announces itself as complicated. Stevie helps identify early on where criminal liability may intersect with a family law matter, ensuring clients are never caught off guard by proceedings they did not see coming.
02
Custody Matters Involving Criminal Allegations
When criminal charges or histories become part of a custody dispute, the case requires an attorney who understands both systems. Stevie helps clients anticipate how criminal proceedings may affect custody outcomes and builds strategies accordingly.
04
Collaborative Representation
Stevie works in close collaboration with Emily Seki on every case, ensuring clients benefit from both a deep family law foundation and a seasoned criminal defense perspective. Two perspectives, one cohesive strategy.
