AMAZING ATTORNEY
I was referred to Stacy to assist me with a debt collection suit that stems from 11 yrs ago. I initially reached out to Stacy, not knowing much about her, and by the end of our 1st conversation I knew I was in the best hands possible. From the start, Stacy has exceeded every expectation I've had. Sh...

I am truly sorry that you were not satisfied with our telephone call. It's my job to ensure that all prospective clients feel that their situations have been properly addressed and I strive to give accurate, timely, and helpful feedback. I apologize I fell short of that standard when you called. While the vast majority of my client consultations are provided free of charge and I file consumer cases on a contingent basis, there are a few cases where I request an initial consultation fee if there is a particularly complicated fact pattern, multiple years of correspondence, and accounting statements to review. I sincerely appreciate the trust that consumers place in me to assist them during difficult times and I take the decision to accept or reject a case very seriously.
