Stacy L. Van Dyken

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but this one really makes me think I am not over exaggerating. So to sum it up; I am a minor and she was supposed to represent me in court for 'whats best for me'. Clearly she did not. custety stayed the same, she never picked up her phone when I called even though s...he said that she ALWAYS would when I first met her. She also never reached out to me after the whole case. Like its been almost what....3 years??? total waste of money!!!!!!

I've used Sracy in the past to be the Representative, in Settling an Estate matter after my Mother Inlaws passing. My husband knew Ms. Vandyken thru his employment because they would run into one another there for many years. We both owned English Bulldogs also at the time and became what we wou...ld consider Friends. She worked Hard,Honestly,Aggressively, and Attentively. She allowed us to focus on the Mourning and Healing Process from my Mother Inlaws passing. She made us feel that we had our own "St Michael", that stood for us in battle. Stood "FOR Us", not just "Beside us." Her One on One Phone calls always Made us feel that our case was Important to her, also. We loved her and we couldn't Thank her,enough!. I think when you find and pay for the right Representation. That person that you've put your Trust, Life, and Furture in their hands. You build a Relationship with them. One of which you can reach out to Directly. . At Least every couple of weeks for any updates,answer for new questions you may have, Or to just Call and see how your doing thru the difficult and stressful process of things? Stacy Did that. If not, we could always call and leave a message with her staff. And recieve a phone call back from her. She was Truly, a Blessing to us in such a Difficult time. We are truly Blessed. Unfortunately , at this time our Daughter, whom she met many years ago at age 16,Has now had to hire Stacy for her Own, Legal counsel. She was in need of an Aggressive,Strong, Attentive Attorney. One that will Stand Up For,and Protect her and her Children's best interests, She'll be the one to stand " with Her", in Every Court appearance herself. Not an Associate. One who we Know, will Fight just as hard for her, as she did for us. Stacy's an attorney who will Communicate "Directly" with her every couple of week to update her, and to guide her thru all of the zigs and zags there are with a Divorce with small children. We have hired Stacy for a 2nd time and it was not only all of the reasons that I listed above, but because Stacy IS one who will not back down from apposing attorneys, will object when it's warrented, Stacy Vandykem will Fight for, Her. And the future of our Grandchildrens. Being in an Abusive Marriage for years was tough enough for our daughter, standing up in a courtroom, is Petrafieying to her. Knowing that Stacy Herself, will stand Beside her in a court room, and will be Fighting for our daughter, her best interests, and an attorney who is not Afraid. Our children,no matter if now young adults. Need Guidance at times. And I know that guiding ours to Stacy Vandyken, is Exactly the Women she needs right now to Fight for her and her children. Knowing Stacy Vandyken will be in the courtroom, truly brings us, 'Peace"

You may as well represent yourself. Stacy threatened to withdraw as my attorney if I didn't do things her way. She talks a big game but always backed down from the opposing parties attorney. She will not fight for you because "she already knows what the court is going to say". It seems like all I pa...id her for was to talk tough, back down and forward emails.
