Excellent

I was referred to Ms. Schwarz after having a very bad experiencing from a previous attorney. Schwarz pleasantly kept me informed of what I would be up against regarding my ex wife’s attorney and what to expect regarding her services and the divorce process. Schwarz made me aware of any motions from ...the other side and was always there to represent me at hearing when scheduled. I’m extraordinarily pleased with the services provided by Schwarz and her legal team.

Child Support/Custody/Divorce

Stacy Shwarz and her law firm did an excellent work during my plethora of cases. I was able to acquire 50% custody of my son which is what I strived for above all and with Stacy's help we did just that. Furthermore, Stacy was always very prompt in returning my phone calls and keeping my family and I ...updated throughout the entirety of our cases. I highly recommend that anyone who went through as hard a time as I did not to hesitate calling her. She will always listen and give you honest feedback. Also, Stacy was able to resolve my divorce and custody cases without much hassle and made thing much easier for my family. If you are seeking family advice, Stacy is the person you should contact.

Worth every penny

Stacy was recommended to me by a friend whose coworker used her in her bitter custody battle. When my friend inquired as to whether or not Ms. Schwarz was good or not she was told that Stacy is a pit bull and that there is no one better in the court room than her. That was all I had to hear. I called... her immediately and I haven't looked back since. As a father involved in a contentious divorce I needed the best there is to defend my parental rights. Nothing is more important to me than my children and I have full faith and confidence in Ms. Schwarz's abilities to protect both me and my children. Stacy is not inexpensive but worth every single penny. She looks for ways to fully support you while Also being cognizant of not spending your money on frivolous things. Her straight shooting approach and dedication to me as a client impresses me continually and I have never nor will I ever doubt her. With her as my lawyer I feel that my interests and those of my children are served. On the occasions that I had to see Stacy in a courtroom setting I have been blown away by both her professionalism and her presence. I would not like to be sitting at an opposing table from her. When you see her in action you know she's in charge. She both prepared me for court and guided me through the process. You will find no one better to represent you whether you are a father, a mother, or even a grandparent looking to protect your children/grandchildren. There is no question. Stacy Schwarz is the lawyer for you.

Outstanding Lawyer!

Prior to working with Stacy Schwarz I had worked with 5 different lawyers on my legal divorce and custody case. Believe me when I tell you Stacy placed my life back in order for the better once we began working together. I am blessed, repeat blessed, to have met and worked with Stacy Schwarz. Stac...y posesses incredible listening and memory skills combined with a heartfelt dedication to the client. In court there is no other lawyer I would rather represent me than Stacy - focused, thoughtful, sensitive and fair. Did I mention Stacy was available for me at all times during what was a most stressful period in my life? I highly recommend Stacy Schwarz.
