A great lawyer.

Stacey was very responsive and always available to meet when needed. She helped me get a satisfactory settlement from my Ex Wife and 50/50 custody of my daughter. I'm very happy from using her and even recommended others to her services during my divorce process.

Grandparent's Rights

Stacey was the only attorney who we spoke with who didn't turn us away when we were looking to obtain custody of our grandchildren. It was a messy and difficult matter...however our grandchildren now reside with us and we are able to take care of them, we have custody. This means the world...

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.

Divorce is hard...Stacey made a positive difference

I didn't think that I would ever be able to get through my divorce. We had money issues and custody issues and it just didn't seem fair at all. To handle it properly we had to opt for taking some time. I learned that faster isn't better, but it was hard. It was not easy but Stacey helped me face ...the difficult task of moving ahead and I am now getting on with my life...and so are my children. And it is a good life...a large part thanks to how my case was handled.
