Do not hire her for sex offenses.

On the outset, I'll admit that Stacey corrected an error that wrongfully placed me on lifetime parole. At that time, I was impressed by her. I was later charged with a sex crime and my mother spent $10,000 she couldn't afford to hire her. She never once even visited me in jail and blew through th...e money. She prepared a sloppy cut and paste brief that she had previously worked on for a different client concerning the admissabilitu of a prior. Any lawyer would have done as well. She then told my mother that the 10 grand was just for the prelim and that she needed another 10 grand! Her assistant really pressured my mom. The case was eventually dismissed by a public defender. I think Stacey is one of many attorneys who pride themselves on sticking it to sex offense cases. She is intelligent and knows the law adequately, but has an exaggerated sense of her skill set. I'd strongly dissuade anyone facing a sex offense from hiring her. And for non-sex offenses, I'm sure she will try her best to nickle and dime you too. Money grubbers tend not to care about the subject matter when it comes to their money grubbing.

SO HAPPY I CHOSE STACEY

I can't put into words how much Stacey did for me. Hiring a lawyer is one of the last things I have ever thought I would need to do. Stacey was extremely comforting and helped me through a very difficult time. The minute I walked in the door she made me felt at ease. Then I couldn't believe how mu...ch she new about the law. I am so happy that I had Stacey on my side.

Divorce

Stacey did an awesome job with my divorce. I felt like she took an ugly situation and turned it around to my favor. She knows the law and how to handle difficult situations in the courtroom situations. I trusted her and she came through for me. She returned my calls and emails in a timely manner ...and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would go back to Stacey in a heart beat for any of my legal needs.

Divorce

Stacey has guided me through a very messy divorce. Her judicial system knowledge is second to none. I have been blown away by her ability to sense the situation and to show real foresight in how to handle difficult complications in an already tough legal battle. Calm and focused, she is a true lea...der.

"I endorse Stacey. As a former assistant deputy District Attorney she has a huge advantage over most criminal defense attorneys. "They know that she knows what they know". Knowledge of both law and procedure is excellent and evident in her pro bono contributions. Do yourself a favor if you are in or near Overland and give her a call for a consultation."
