Stacy L. Van Dyken

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.

I have worked with Attorney Stacy VanDyken in a professional setting for just over six years. My professional experience with her was in the child welfare system. Ms. VanDyken carries a reputation with her that she worked hard for her clients and she was a bulldog for them- which always proved to be ...true. As a child welfare professional, you always wanted Ms. VanDyken assigned to the children on your caseload, as you were always working in the child's best interest. You always wanted Stacy VanDyken to work with the department to help the child work towards peace and healing and to always ensure they were safe, regardless of whether they were home with their parents or not. If Stacy was assigned to represent a defendant in the matter, you knew you had a fight ahead of you. Stacy was always known to speak out, say the hard things that everyone was thinking, to perform ethically and within the boundaries of the law, and protect the vulnerable, regardless of who that may be. She is highly respected in every courtroom she steps into. She does what is right for her client and she can always be trusted to show up swinging for the "little guy".

My experience with Stacy VanDyken was horrific and negatively impacted my children. My children even grew to dislike her and her arrogant attitude. She is a huge waste of time. Stacy started out strong the first month once she got the financial agreement but failed miserable after. Stacy was so... disorganized and constantly late for court times yet choose to invoice me in the end for the time she was scheduled to be there. Stacy was late too invoice by 6 - 9 months so you are forced to keep track of her laziness. Stacy is not a parent and does not have a clue of what the best interest factors are for the children. Do not waste your time, stress or energy with Stacy and find anyone else as she is the all time worse attorney ever. Wasted years for her to timely respond and never followed through.

Stacy was very detailed with my case at the start and after the first year or three trying to get communication was horrible, appointments had to be booked to get any communication at all, and the office staff was less responsive. She is good when she feels like working I would find an attorney that ...will actually work on cases in a timely manner not Stacy time.
