Well done Stacey

I want to say Thank you Stacey B. At first I was extremely nervous with the whole process of Divorce. Through out the year I kept getting knocked down by my now ex wife but Stacey you just plugged along and kept telling me...marshall...we will get there. I cannot thank you enough for the hard work an...d the bluntness of some of your answers to my questions but in the end you got me what I needed and wanted. Thank you so very much for all that you've done for Mia and myself. Marshall Swilley (aka Happy dad)

Just the Divorce Lawyer I Needed

I went to several lawyers and even hired one before I retained Stacey Balduf, Esq. They all sympathized with me and told me how right I was--not to worry. Well it wasn't until I went back to Stacey Balduf that I realized she was telling me the facts and how this crazy system works. That is what I ...needed to hear so I was able to prepare and make much better choices. I saw Court and divorce first hand and I only wish I had hired Stacey when I first came to see her. I guess I wasn't ready to hear the "straight talk" then, when I could be promised the "moon" elsewhere. If you are looking for experience and real advice hire Stacey.

Budget friendly and fast!

I hired Stacey to handle my divorce. My ex made things difficult from the beginning but Stacey kept things flowing even when he tried to delay the divorce. She kept the price in check by addressing the important things and and not spending precious time on the things that weren't. This was a very str...essful time in my life and I'm glad it wasn't made worse by going into debt. She was firm and direct to my ex's attorney and I felt confident in her. There was a time constraint and I needed the divorce done promptly and Stacey made it happen and I couldn't be happier. I would hire her again for any family related legal issues. I would also recommend her.

Glad she was working for me.

It is hard to appreciate the legal advice you get while you are going through your divorce. When mine was over there were no surprises and I understood what I was doing, why I was doing it and had a plan for the future. My spouse on the other hand was not as prepared and was crying in the conferenc...e room with his attorney not understanding what was happening in the same way I was. Stacey prepared me well and did a great job...but hearing what she had to say was not easy.

Divorce is hard

I know that most of the time the only people who write a review are the ones who are unhappy so I thought I would take a moment to share this review of Stacey Balduf. My divorce was awful...I had a hard time understanding how the process could be like it is. All I can say is that Stacey talked to m...e in a way that kept me focused on what was important. She was dead on about what was going to happen and how it was likely to turn out. Because of that my final divorce reflected what was most important to me. On the day of trial, when we settled because Stacey took the time to have a written agreement prepared and sent to counsel prior to court. She was able to alter it at the courthouse, I was familiar with it. I understood it. I had time to let it all sink in. There were no real surprised. When I signed it I was exhausted and drained but relieved. When my Wife signed it with her attorney, only just reading it for the first time, she was in the conference room in tears having a hard time understanding how the process could turn out this way. I would recommend Stacey to anyone that is focused on making a realistic plan for the future.
