Not a Quitter!

I finally decided after many failed attempts and getting tired of run around with the ex regarding Child Support that I needed real legal representation. Stacey advised me I could do it on my own my own but I felt more confident paying her to see it through. She was very direct and will not waste you...r money or time. She was so patient and talked me off the ledge a couple times when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. She saw the hearing through to the end and after 7yrs I finally have a resolution I can be comfortable with. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who will go to bat for you while also telling you how it is.

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.

Patience for Family Issues

As grandparents seeking guardianship, Stacey has represented us. The children are still with us after three years. It is a process and requires patience and trust in your attorney who knows what the court will accept. We listened to Stacey accepting her guidance only to see that the court respect...ed our trying to work things out with the children's mother. We realize that this will be an ongoing process and we hope that Stacey will be our guide for the foreseeable future. There were times we did not fully understand the process and big picture but Stacey always communicated with us when we had questions and stresses during the arbitration and trial preparation. We agreed to settlements prior to two trial dates which was better for all parties, especially the children. Thank you Stacey for all your help and knowledge of family court. We could see how respected you are in the courthouse with colleagues.

Out of state custody & support

I needed to hire a lawyer for custody & support, my ex lives out of state.Stacey told me what to do and what I should expect as a time frame.Stacy allowed me to do some of the work to save on fees,that was a big help to me and my kids.She responded to my emails with 24 hours or would call.A resolutio...n was reached quickly in 3 visits to the courthouse. Now that it all is over It is a relief , I would hire Stacey again if I needed to.

Family Court at it's finest!

My ex-husband dragged my son and I through the family court system with a ton of lies and heartache. From the moment I contacted Stacey, she was on top of my case. We had to keep going back to court time and time again, dealing with my ex-husband's various lawyers, my son's appointed lawyer and even ...CPS. Stacey took the time to get back to me with all of my concerns as things continued to escalate and we kept going back to court again and again. By the time all was done, the judge commended everyone by saying that this case was an example of "family court at it's finest". All parties were satisfied with the outcome and most importantly, my son is happy and right where he belongs. Stacie was my saving grace in an incredible difficult and trying time!
