Dedication to your success with an honest and sometimes a " tough love" approach that is needed for a highly emotional wife.

When I went to see Stacey, I was sobbing and almost incoherent. My sister-in-law joined me to ensure that everything was comprehended and understood. Stacey, although I was very emotional, cut straight to the chase with regard to my pending divorce. She put my emotions aside, and with her experie...nce and dedication, directed me on exactly what needed to happen next. It was clear to me that she was very experienced with a no- nonsense approach to what needed to be done. Action was taken the very same day to file for my divorce, which was not my choice as the decision had been made for me. I grew stronger with Stacey's guidance and support. I cannot say enough about how Stacey will find the time to answer your questions (even when some of them may be frustrating, and I know some of mine were because I did not understand the process) and offer support at the very professional level of an attorney who has much experience in her field. I don't think that I could have, nor would i have wanted to, work with another attorney. I would very highly recommend Stacey as she helped to guide me through one of the hardest times of my life with compassion and support, while not allowing emotions to factor into any decisions. Again, I must reiterate, I would very highly recommend Stacey's services as a divorce attorney. Thank you for everything, Stacey!

Competent representation at an affordable rate

Most of the positive reviews here reflect my thoughts of Stacey. I found her to be highly competent, frank, honest and knowledgeable. Her hourly rate was reasonable and below that of most attorneys who work out of law firm - and much of that has to do with lower overhead as she works from her home... office. As she explained to me - if you want an attorney with an impressive, large marble conference room table, you're gonna pay for it. That she lives in an average house in an average neighborhood with an average minivan in her driveway was a positive in my book. It's clear she was looking towards her client's best interest and not a lavish lifestyle at the expense of her clients. She kept my costs down by having me do what homework I could on my own and not nickle-and-diming for every copy, e-mail and phone call to answer a quick question that you see in most law firms. She has some quirks (who doesn't?) and sometimes I had to chase her down to get a question answered, but I wasn't her only client either. That and she also has a life and needs to take a break for a week away with her family once in a while - as well as the time she spends with her volunteer commitments to the church and community. But she also found time to squeeze in calls/e-mails between court hearings and in the evenings / early mornings as well. In the end, I ended up with a divorce settlement that was fair to me, my ex-wife and daughter at a price that was much lower than some of the horror stories I've heard from friends who've gotten divorced too. Heed her advice - there are no do-overs in divorces and you only get one chance to get it right. I asked about the real-estate end of my divorce and she referred me to her husband Bill. Again, competent, reasonably priced representation. I'd recommend her and would use her again should the need ever arise (hopefully not!).

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.

Excellent, Trustworthy, Results Oriented

Stacey has been my lawyer for approximately 5 years during which time she has handled every child support / custody issue that has arisen between me and my ex (and there have been several). I initially became acquainted with Stacey when I needed to hire a lawyer for my first court appearance and she ...was the most conveniently located. Since then, I have chosen to retain her as my attorney not because of convenience but instead because I trust her and she is great at what she does. Her demeanor is calm, confident and professional. She clearly knows the law but never feels a need to grandstand nor conduct herself in a loud, arrogant manner. Instead, she is unpretentious while being highly effective when it comes to getting results. I have found her temperament to be very calming during stressful court appearances, a definite plus! Stacey has a vast degree of experience dealing with matters related to Family Law. When I must go to court I do so with confidence knowing that she has my best interests at heart and that she will handle my case with the utmost professionalism. I have yet to leave the courtroom feeling dissatisfied with the outcome. I would strongly recommend Stacey to anyone in need of a great Family Law attorney.

No nonsense

Stacey knows her stuff. Know upfront she is a straight shooter and tells you what needs to be said. That can be hard to hear in the emotional state we often are in when dealing with lawyer stuff.
