Renee Lee Stasio

Renee is an incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, resourceful, efficient, and strong advocate for her clients. I employed her to handle my divorce, shared my objectives for financial security and custody, and she helped me obtain what I wanted. She is responsive, kept my costs down, and applied the rig...ht balance of negotiation and assertion necessary to obtain the best possible results for my settlement and custody agreement. Her years of experience as a litigator, guardian ad liteum, educator, and parent helped me through one of the most challenging life transitions I had ever experienced. Her relentless dedication and attention to my case helped me negotiate and obtain financial security that I had not even considered. I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting a fierce champion who gets results.

Divorce is one of the most challenging emotionally, physically and financially life events anyone can go through. I have been fortunate enough to have Renee Stasio at my side for the past 5 years, as certain aspects of my divorce situation continue to surface. Renee (and her practice) has many outs...tanding strengths, but I would highlight the following: 1) Care for all parties involved. Most especially, care for the child (children) who's best interest sometimes gets lost in the noise of litigation; 2) Litigation can become costly and messy - but Renee constantly assesses the Cost Benefit of any decision and only advocates those fights "worth fighting". As an outsider to the legal world, this approach is a rare find; and 3) Renee is tough. She is tough not only with the opposition, but tough with her own clients as well - and this is because she wants the best for those she represents. Personally for myself, an honest dose of realism and lucid understanding of the law is what is sometimes needed when navigating the Court system and divorce. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Renee for counsel. I am indebted to her service and tireless work over the past 5 years.

Renee handled my Divorce/Child Support Mod with the utmost professionalism. What several other lawyers deemed " a very complicated matter", Renee broke down into simple subcomponents and provided a clear path forward - and not just for me but for the opposing counsel and the judge. She is one of th...e most knowledgeable Family Law attorneys in the DMV and she has the unique ability to always put the children's best interests above everything else. All that and her rates are more than reasonable as well. I will continue to give her my highest recommendation.

Renee was my lawyer during my divorce in 2012.To this day (now 2015), I still recommend her to all my friends who unfortunately need her services. I cannot say enough good things about her. Renee was not the typical "divorce lawyer". She was always available, in person, via email or over the phone ev...en in short notice. Renee always advised me in what was in my best interest, not what would get her more money out of me. She asked questions and helped me think of things I wasn't thinking about, which ultimately led to a better settlement agreement. I have a daughter, who was 3 at the time, and Renee thought about what was in her best interest every step of the way. She was fair, strong, empathetic, kind. I just can't speak enough about what a wonderful person and lawyer she was.

Renee was recommended to me by another attorney who I knew personally. Her support, expertise, attention to detail and navigation of unfamiliar legal waters were incomparable. I found one of her greatest strengths to be support in times of this client's mental exhaustion, something that often occurs ...in the throes of difficult life circumstances. She kept me legally on track (of course), helped me stay focused on the important issues and not get bogged down in minutiae, and most important, she protected the interests of my daughter and me in a truly fair, ethical and appropriate manner. Renee guided me through a process that is not black and white, but filled with small and big decisions that require senstivity, grace and compromise. I have given her business card to a number of individuals within the past year, including a mental health professional who requested her contact information for her clients, after listening to me praise Renee's skills and approach to family law. I highly highly recommend her services.
