Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Cecile graduated from Mercy College of Detroit with bachelor’s degrees in criminal justice and political science. She had her sights on attending law school. While in college, Cecile interned at a prestigious black think tank, The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, in Washington, DC, where she worked on renewal of the Voting Rights Act and joined the struggle to create a federal holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Cecile’s career trajectory changed when she saw the damage being done in her community by the 1980’s “crack epidemic.” She began advocating for children in the foster care system and working on their behalf for stable home environments, adoption, and independent living for those who were aging out of the system. She went on to develop long-lasting programs and services that addressed homelessness in metro-Detroit while graduating from the University of Michigan with a master’s degree in public administration.
Her advocacy for children and families led to her next career as a grant development specialist. Cecile’s determination to gain equity for disenfranchised populations and her excellent writing skills produced hundreds of millions in funding for community-based organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions.
After relocating to Georgia, Cecile decided to return to her first career love – the legal field. She attained a Paralegal certificate from Emory University and was introduced to workers’ compensation law where she worked tirelessly to help those injured on their job receive proper medical treatment and financial compensation. Although Cecile has worked for both plaintiff and defense firms, her passion for supporting the underdog has never died.
As Cecile is shaping her last chapter in the workforce, she is proud to serve as a part-time Legal Assistant to support the attorney and paralegal team at the Stoddard Firm. In her leisure time, she is an avid fan of Formula 1 racing and also enjoys nature walks/hikes, axe-throwing, and watching international dramas.
I can’t express enough how good attorneys Keith Evra and Matthew stoddard are as well as the rest of the firm. They took care of me and my family and did everything they could for us and were professional and amazing at what they do. You can count on them to genuinely make you feel like they care about you and will do everything they can for you. If I could give 500 stars I would. If you are debating to choose them for your representation look no further becuase you won’t find a better firm. They are the best.
I was very proud of my lawyer Keith evra n his professional in my time of pain dealing with my son’s death. I would recommend Keith to anyone who needs legal services
By far a great group to handle such a tremendous and difficult time in our lives, not only do they communicate and explain in detail, but they really care to make this process as easy as possible. I would highly recommend this firm for any of your needs because they really do go above and beyond with blood sweat and tears for their clients
One thing I can truly say about the Stoddard Firm is that they take great initiative in helping their clients. My case and situation took a lot out of me. Mentally, emotionally and even physically. But the Stoddard firm did an amazing job with my case. Shauna and Janine did absolutely amazing with helping me with coping skills and they have great communication. They helped me understand that the process of my case would take some time but that they would do everything in their power to help me differentiate the odds that were against me. Yes the process was time given, but patience is key and at the end everything was successful and I am grateful for them.
Matthew Stoddard and his team of lawyers, including Belle- Anne and the staff, were very professional and caring from the beginning to the end. They were very knowledgeable, always available to answer any questions, and made sure I was always updated. I’m very grateful and highly recommend them.
