Slow & Poor Communication

Hired at expensive retainer, got not even 1/2 back. No details about the divorce process to start. No checking client's availability before scheduling hearings. Only 2 phone calls in 2 months of case with no progress. Arrogant & talks down to others. Bills for every morsel of contact & contact was po...or. Bad experience. Would not recommend.

Replied last April 04, 2019

This is very disappointing to read. I have never been told I or my staff is "arrogant," and I am sorry you felt that way. As we explained to you, it is not customary for the Court to check the schedules of represented parties before scheduling hearings--that was not something specific to my office. My office attempted to contact you for weeks and reached out multiple times for information we needed from you, which we never received. I had no choice but to withdraw from your case, and I offered to get you names of other lawyers you may want to reach out to. If you have any concerns with your bill, just call my office and we would be glad to make sure everything is accurate. To be fair, there were several "no charges" given to you on your billing statements as a courtesy throughout your case. Best of luck to you.

Attention Single Dads

I would highly recommend Stacy to any single dads going through a custody battle. She's the best there is, PERIOD! Stacy, isn't just some lawyer looking to get paid. She genuinely cares about you and your situation. She will do whatever it takes to make sure you get the custody you deserve! She... helped me get 50/50 custody through a very tough battle. I really felt that she was there for me every step of the way. She helped keep me calm and confident during intense situations. Dads, getting more custody obviously means being able to spend more time with you child and developing an even better relationship. Stacy WILL get you that! Lastly, I have many friends who went with a lesser attorney who may have been cheaper. They regret it to this day. You get what you pay for. Stacy is the best there is and if you refuse to go with her because some lesser attorney might be cheaper, then you are putting a price tag on your relationship with your child. You have the rest of your life to make money, but missed time with your child means missed opportunities for memories that last forever. Go with Stacy Schlemmer, you will not regret it!

Great divorce attorney

From the time I first consulted Stacy on an urgent issue, I felt I was in good hands. She moved quickly to get things drafted and filed asap. She answered all my questions promptly and provided sound advice throughout the process no matter what was going on. She was very professional and knowledge...able and I'm glad I hired her. I would recommend Stacy to others who need a divorce attorney.

Excellent choice

Stacy was my lawyer for my recent divorce and child support case. I especially liked that she handled my case very efficiently and gave me sound advice. I felt comfortable talking to her and definitely felt like she was looking out for me and had my young childrens' best interest at heart. Highly rec...ommended.

Divorce

My ex- husband was very hard to deal with... and every time I need to talk or just advice Stacy was always there. She also was very on time about getting things done. I would recommend her to anyone else in my same predicament.
