Worth every penny

Lacy Nava has been a blessing to my family. She has been my lawyer for right at a year and was incredible every step of the way. Our case was one of reunification and the case was over 7 years old. All kinds of craziness. She worked aggressively to put my family back together. She went above and beyo...nd and i feel she was personally invested in our case. She filed all the paperwork, attended every court hearing, and constantly checked in during in between time. She is a firecracker. She is very down to earth and personable, unless youre on the otherside of the courtroom, then shes ruthless. The exact type of lawyer you want when fighting for your family. She is worth every penny and more. In such a dark and stressful time, she maintained positive outlook and helped us explore every option and possible outcome from day 1. (Literally our consultation was 3 hours, when only supposed to be 45 minutes.) I cant say enough about how incredible she is. You will not be disappointed. Shes very straight forward and honest at all times. She took the time to get to know my family and make sure my kids felt comfortable. Our case is now at the finish line and we have recieved full custody. She even came to our home to celebrate with our family. I no longer consider her my lawyer but a dear family friend. There is no reason to look any further for an attorney, if you want to win, and want someone who is truly invested in your success, hire this woman immediately. You wont regret it.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lacy Nava. She handled my criminal case in 2018 with careful consideration, knowledgeable guidance, and careful consideration to preserve my stature in the community. My case was expunged, allowing me to put the entire experience behind me. When I went to her I was scared ...and concerned. When our period of working together ended, I was able to regain my sanity. Thank you, Lacy, for turning a great wrong into a huge win for me, my family, and my reputation.

Fierce, Fun, and Trustworthy

I have worked with Lacy Nava on professional and personal cases. I have seen her work in the courts prior to hiring her. Her attention to detail and passion for her work is unparalleled and amazing to watch. Those reasons among others is why I hired her for my personal family law case. With my case s...he became my legal representative, my fighter, and above all my friend. She cares and communicates effectively and Our team is always on the same page. Questions, concerns, or advice is answered with fact and truth. You can rely and above all trust her with your personal details. I highly recommend Lacy. You will only regret it, if you don’t hire her!

Complex Immigration issue

Attorney Nava was able to review our case and provided honest and well researched answers. Prior experience led us down a road of incorrect and erroneous information that appeared to be purposeful in nature where by the firm could simply keep making revenue. Attorney Nava was a refreshing departure f...rom this and completed her assessment of the case within a couple of weeks. I felt Attorney Nava treated us with sincere concern and made every effort to resolve our situation avoiding further issues.
