He is amazing!

He knows what he's talking about. He is honest and straight forward. This man has helped me at my lowest point in life. I am very thankful I found him. And with everything he has done for my divorce case and child. Everything I have asked, he makes happen. His staff is wonderful and caring. I love ...April!

Got the job done

It was an uncontested case so there wasn’t much to do on their part. I had to reach out a couple of times for documentation corrections and it seemed to take longer than average. All the documents weren’t sent and I had to schedule another meeting with the father to get items notarized. Lawyer was la...te for court on the day of hearing, almost 2 hours so we ended up being pushed to the back of the docket. But in the end, custody was awarded.

do not be fooled

When we hire this attorney he seemed aggressive and confident. Low and behold when the case got more in depth and complicated he in all effects backed off & never moved the case forward. We were left wondering. Mr Stagg initially talked the talk, but definately did not walk the walk. Left us high... & dry, I would not recommend him.

Worst attorney ever

Went to this attorney for help with a divorce and custody case. He only responded when money was displayed. If he wasn’t paid, he didn’t work. He is a great paper pusher, and does so in order to charge you and drag everything out longer. Never would recommend him to anyone, I lost my everything becau...se he wouldn’t work.

My office (my staff & myself) go to great lengths and strive for the highest level of service possible in each client's case(s). There are no two clients or cases that are the same; all issues/matters/needs are taken in-stride and dealt with in an efficient and professional manner. As with most professions, payment is required for services requested, rendered and/or needed by client(s)/customer(s). Lastly, keep in mind, as Terry Waite said, "Sometimes the wheels of justice grind slowly." Also, as Robert Lloyd said, "Slow and steady wins the race."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
