Stacey Burnett Rice

Stacey was a fantastic lawyer for me during my horrific divorce. She helped me work through false allegations, a custody battle, and making sure I don’t get hosed financially with support and alimony. She makes you feel at ease throughout the whole process and even when you may not speak to her for a while just know she is fully up to date on your case. I appreciate all her hard work and efforts through the worst 18 months of my life. Anyone that hires her will be certainly sure to get the best lawyer around.

During an awful divorce, Stacey represented me and it was the best decision of my life. She was able to guide me through the process seamlessly... empowering me through the way. She is just awesome.

Stacey is awesome in the court room especially if the law is on her side. She is quick on her feet and able to rebuttal and cross examine without hesitation. She can get pretty busy so I would stay in close contact with her associates who are very well organized. My only advise is if your going to go to court make sure you prepare as if your the lawyer, only you are going to know every detail about every situation. And if your going to argue over small stuff your wasting time and money, the courts only care about upholding the law and the well being of the kids. That being said I don't know how I would have gotten through all the BS without Stacey in my corner fighting for my rights to be a father to my kids.

Stacey and her team ensured I didn’t get railroaded during my divorce. I was supported through the entire process, including some much needed emotional support. I can’t imagine the outcome of my case without Stacey, she was able to quickly counter anything that was not in my best interest with an impressive breadth of knowledge of family law. Stacey presented my case in a fashion that was professional and thourough. During this entire process, Stacey kept the needs of my children and my family’s well-being a top priority. I was lucky enough to find an advocate for myself and my children in Stacey, and I would recommend Stacey to anyone in need of superior representation.

Stacey represented me in a lengthy and difficult divorce that went to a full trial. There were some facts that I thought would weigh against me, and Stacey was creative and thoughtful in how she handled those issues. Stacey is a passionate advocate for her clients' interests. She knows Maryland family law extremely well. She was very thorough in preparing both herself and me for every stage of the process. I felt so confident when I testified at trial due to Stacey's preparation and our discussion of the issues. She was always on top of every detail throughout the process. She's also very impressive in the courtroom. She has a great command of trial procedure and how to obtain the information she needs for her case through questioning witnesses. She also seems to know everybody in the Anne Arundel family law community, which can be a huge asset. I couldn't be happier with the representation she provided. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Stacey's associate Elizabeth Pfenson. I work with many attorneys in my job, and Elizabeth is one of the smartest I have met. She helped me through a difficult and uncomfortable day-long deposition, negotiated a temporary separation agreement that saved me thousands, and did so much great work throughout the process. She's a true rising star.

I switched to Stacey after originally starting with another atty who was slightly less expensive. I am so glad I did!! Stacey and her staff were so knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable throughout my case. I don't know what I would have done without her. I highly recommend her!!

Stacey did an excellent job representing me in both a contempt case and custody case. She is well versed in child and family law. She was very responsive and timely in her communications and kept me informed through the entire process. She fought hard and was successful!

Stacey did an amazing job navigating me through a difficult divorce, and did so with utmost efficiency and professionalism. Her knowledge of the Anne Arundel court system is second to none. No matter how daunting a case seems, Stacey has a way of ensuring the best possible outcome. she refused to let my ex and his attorney take unfair advantage through attempted abuse of the legal system. If you have a complicated case Stacey is the attorney you need.

I entrusted the most important aspect of my life to Mrs. Rice; my child and my relationship. As I expected she is very professional without being cold and harsh. Her first response and the associated documents came so quick that I was not even prepared for it. It surprised me a little because any professional that is at the top of their game is usually very difficult to communicate with. I was very pleased. I also dealt with her staff and found them very professional. Mrs. Rice's knowledge of the law, even a relevant brand new case was comprehensive. She is very familiar with all the idiosyncrasies of the courts. Best investment in my child's and my life and well-being.

A child custody case is emotional and often heartbreaking. My husband and I were shocked beyond belief when his ex filed to modify custody, filing a petition making radical claims against him, asking the court terminate his legal custody and enforce permanent supervised visitation. Stacey was calm and confident, helping us organize evidence, explaining everything we needed to know, keeping us informed at every turn. When it comes to your child, you want someone who cares about the outcome, and it most definitely matters to her. She is honest, kind, and reliable.
