An Outstanding Defense Attorney

Ms. McCullough, represented me in a criminal matter for charges of Driving Under the Influence in Du Page County, beginning early in 2011 and concluding approximately one year later. Ms McCullough demonstrated a combination of professional capabilities which were of benefit both to my case, and to my...self personally. She is a skilled litigator, and was a strong advocate during court proceedings. During these times it was evident that Ms. McCullough was respected and well-regarded by both the opposing council and by the bench. On a personal level, I found Ms. McCullough to be both candid and encouraging during the difficult period of these proceedings. Because of her specialty in criminal law, it is my hope and expectation that I will never require her professional services again. This notwithstanding. Ms. McCullough has my strongest endorsement for anyone in need of legal representation in a criminal defense matter.

An Awesome Attorney

Stacey McCullough has been angel for us! She is well versed in criminal law; particularly in our case that included multiple counts (misdemeanor and Felony) in multiple jurisdictions. There was an increased level of difficulty because these cases also involved an element of mental illness, so addit...ional time and care was required of her...and she could not have been any better! Stacey was also very attentive to detail which ultimately resolved some of the charges. It is also very apparent that her reputation in DuPage County is stellar; many of the prosecutors know and respect her which allowed us to quickly work through the process. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a competent, professional, compassionate attorney. Although I hope to never go through anything like that again, if I did, one of my first calls would be to Stacey!

Exceptional / Exceeds my expectations

When I'm looking for legal guidance Stacey's at the top of my list to call. Stacey has earned my confidence that when her legal services are needed her expertise & results have ruled in favor. From my experience her service fees are fair & just. I have total confidence that Stacey's advise is alwa...ys in my best interest! Respect is earned & not given!.... Stacey has eared my respect.

A great attorney and a great person!

Stacey has represented myself and and family members on various issues. DUI as well as other traffic issues. I have worked with other attorneys over the years and found them less than adequate and quite frankly they were not honest with me about their services or fees. Stacey delivers on the expectat...ations she sets when reviewing your situation with you. Stacey is a honest and genuine person as well as a very knowledgeable attorney. In the coming years I will continue to work with Stacey when my needs require legal expertise.

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.
